Firm’s involvement in NAFAA supports new offering from recent acquisition
CINCINNATI, OHIO – SEPTEMBER 27, 2018 – Ultimus Fund Solutions®, LLC (Ultimus®), one of the largest independent providers of mutual fund, private fund and middle office services, is pleased to announce its membership in the North American Fund Administration Association (NAFAA).
NAFAA was founded in January 2018 with an objective of promoting the best interests of the alternative investment fund administration industry, while defining best practices and standards in the industry.
“Our involvement with NAFAA allows us to collaborate with other administrators in the U.S. to bring new ideas and standards that will be beneficial for our firm, our clients and fund investors,” said Gary Tenkman, President and Managing Director of Ultimus. “We are excited to get behind and support the goal of promoting the best interests of the private fund industry since there aren’t other organizations addressing this need. With our private fund administration offering, which we established with our acquisition of Woodfield Fund Administration earlier this year, we are eager to contribute to this newly created association.”
“We are overwhelmingly pleased with the amount of growth that NAFAA has experienced this year,” said Chris Meader, founder of NAFAA. “The association has been well-received and much needed. We are experiencing great participation and are delighted to have Ultimus involved in the collaboration of our efforts to be a voice for the alternative investment industry.”
