State Street will provide fund administration, registration, investor and regulatory reporting services as part of the mandate.
“Private markets are an increasingly important segment of institutional investor allocations as they seek diversified returns,” said Brian Allis, head of UK sales and client coverage at State Street.
“As private assets are typically more complex and specialist than public asset portfolios, deeper expertise is necessary to ensure funds are being administered and managed in the most efficient ways possible.”
