Fund Services for Asset Managers, Family Offices and Institutional Investors

“Global Systematic Investors have been a GemCap client for over five years. When we wanted to open our first UCITS fund we reviewed several alternatives, but it soon became clear that GemCap’s combination of competitive cost, attentive service model, and location would be hard to beat. As a small business we find GemCap to be both helpful and accommodating. Their experience in UCITS management, particularly on the compliance and legal side, enabled us to set-up and maintain our investment business quickly and efficiently. From the beginning our experience with the team at GemCap has been very positive. Communication is a key element in any business relationship and GemCap have been exceptional communicators. This has been critical when we’ve needed quick responses to client questions. We would recommend any business looking to outsource its UCITS fund administration to an Irish-based provider, contact GemCap.”

“Atlantic House and GemCap started life at a similar time and it’s been great to grow together. What I’ve particularly enjoyed about working with Stuart and the team is that you always speak to someone who knows what they’re talking about. The amount of wasted time is minimal, and it’s reassuring to work with a team with such depth of relevant experience in an area of the industry that’s constantly changing and can be a minefield. The staff turnover at GemCap has been low, which means we’ve been able to establish long lasting business relationships with individuals built on trust and understanding of one another’s businesses. That can’t be said for every business in our industry. We look forward to continuing to grow with GemCap - onwards and upwards!”

“Third Avenue first partnered with GemCap in April 2017 to support and administer our UCITS Fund. After evaluating a number of options we determined that Stuart Alexander and his team at GemCap were the best solution. Prior to our transition, Third Avenue had built and maintained its own independent UCITS platform. The opportunity to partner with GemCap on their platform enabled us to reduce costs to Fund shareholders and greatly reduce our management burden. The support provided to our Fund by GemCap has been consistent with the quality of the platform that we maintained independently and provided a significant reduction of expenses. The GemCap relationship has also helped us grow and develop our Fund as they provide a local European presence and market awareness that we don’t have as a US-based manager. They’ve been very supportive regarding Fund marketing and ensured we’re aligned in a timely manner with emerging compliance and regulatory requirements. We look forward to continuing and growing our relationship with the team at GemCap.”

Affinity have developed a constructive partnership with GemCap since 2021, when we embarked on the process of launching our first UCITS fund. Their ‘turnkey’ service enabled our business to navigate an unfamiliar landscape and benefit from excellent support and institutional level infrastructure. Affinity’s focus on sustainable investments brought its own challenges due to the shifting regulatory environment, so GemCap’s guidance provide invaluable and ensured we satisfied all requirements. From legal issues through to distribution, GemCap have a wealth of experience to assist with all elements of UCITS fund management and administration, which means we can focus on what we do best – managing assets.

"Since the beginning of our collaboration with Ascender Fund Partners, Green Blue / Cité Gestion has benefited from their commitment and guidance throughout the launch and ongoing management of our Luxembourg fund. From structuring to daily operations, their team has consistently demonstrated a genuine partnership mindset. What stands out most is their responsiveness and ability to adapt to our specific needs as an innovative and growing investment firm. Ascender’s expertise and proactive approach have been instrumental in ensuring a smooth and successful fund journey. We are grateful for their continuous support and look forward to pursuing new opportunities together."

“Fasanara Capital has been working with Ascender Fund Partners since 2017 as our trusted AIFM partner. When we launched our first RAIF, we evaluated several options, but Ascender's combination of strong regulatory expertise, competitive pricing, and forward-thinking approach to alternative investments clearly stood out. Their deep understanding of complex fund structures, proactive support, and flexibility have been key to our growth. The team’s transparent communication and hands-on collaboration make them a valuable extension of our own operations. We would highly recommend Ascender to any asset manager seeking a reliable, agile, and committed partner for structuring and managing innovative investment solutions.”
