Wealth & Finance International - Finance Awards 2017

Wealth & Finance International - 2017 Finance Awards 23 Established in 2003, TCFS offers a comprehensive UCITS and AIFMD fund structuring and fund operation service. At the heart of TCFS’s operating model is independence, as the firm believe that independence is the key to maximising Investor protection and for delivering positive investor outcomes. To support this belief, TCFS has developed a Fund Operator that is completely independent from all key operational service providers. This open architecture approach allows the firm to work with a range of strategic supply partners in each of the core operational components (Fund Accounting, Transfer Agency, Fund Audit, Legal services, Depository and Custody). This removes the conflicts of interest and bias often seen within Fund Operators with an in-house or single supplier model. Fundamentally, TCFS’s ability to support its clients in both the UK and across Europe means that they are able to support managers as they explore multi jurisdiction distribution channels, as well as those looking to launch mirror propositions in either the UK or Europe. This approach helps to remove the uncertainty created by the UKs decision to leave the EU, all through a single relationship, ensuring that its clients continue to prosper despite the ongoing uncertainty. Recently, in October 2017, TCFS became an EQT partner business, with EQT Holdings Limited (EQT) acquiring a 60% shareholding in TCFS’ parent company - Treasury Capital Ltd.
