I have worked with many administrators in my career — and there are many good ones out there — but hands down, dollar for dollar NAV is one of the best out there and very underrated in the industry. The pillars of any business are its people, processes, and technology. Their people, day in and day out, go above and beyond. They genuinely care, and in my opinion, that's very hard to find these days! The processes and controls they put in place work well. Finally, their technology/reporting is very robust and well thought out. Beyond that, what continues to impress me is how accommodating they are to our needs as a business.

Our experience with NAV has been phenomenal. After 25 years with our prior administrator, we were reluctant to make a change. NAV made the transition painless, and was able to provide greatly improved capabilities while also reducing expenses. In hindsight, we should have made the transition to NAV years ago.

Looking for Hedge Fund Administration Services?

Maybe you're launching a new hedge fund. Or, you've been handling fund administration tasks in-house but now need to explore third-party options for better resource allocation, to address skills gaps, or to more efficiently scale for growth. Or, you're already working with a hedge fund administrator but aren't totally satisfied with your services, support, or costs.

Whatever the reason, you're searching for a hedge fund administrator. Many fund managers believe that all fund administrators are basically the same. And, while true that all fund administrators offer a fairly standard menu of services, that's where the similarity ends.
