Essentially, a fund administrator is an outsourced third party service provider that protects the interests of investors by independently verifying the assets and valuation of the fund. By outsourcing the fund administration function, fund managers are allowed the freedom to focus on portfolio management internally. Typically, fund administration comprises two parts: fund accounting and the activities of registrar/transfer agent.

As the fund industry continues to evolve and managers seek new ways to diversify their portfolios to please investors, choosing a fund administrator will be increasingly driven by the complexity of the products on offer and response to evolution in fund requirements.

This program is designed to provide attendees with an overview of the fund industry in India including regulatory, accounting and legal aspects and prepare them for the significant opportunities expected to come up. This program is recommended for both professionals who are new to the fund industry as well as those looking to expand their knowledge in this domain.
