SS&C Technologies has further grown its Australian presence, this time via an extension of its relationship with UK fund manager, Royal London Asset Management (RLAM), to provide fund administration and unit registry services for four new Australian active funds.

The announcement said that Equity Trustees (EQT) will serve as the Responsible Entity for the four funds which have launched with around $1 billion in assets under management.

The four funds are:

• Royal London Global Equity Diversified Fund
• Royal London Global Equity Enhanced Fund
• Royal London Global Equity Select Fund
• Royal London Short Duration Global High Yield Bond Fund

The announcement said that the unit trusts are structured as feeder funds, providing investors with indirect exposure to RLAM’s range of Dublin-domiciled Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) funds.

It said SS&C will provide its full suite of fund administration services to the funds, including fund accounting, unit pricing, transfer agency, valuation and tax/financial reporting.

Commenting on the move, RLAM chief client officer, Ed Venner noted that the firm had been partnering with SS&C for the last three years in the UK.

“The firm’s global scale and their growing presence in the Australian market made SS&C a natural choice to service our new Australian funds. SS&C’s expertise has streamlined the unit trust launch process for our team, allowing us to focus on building direct relationships with Australian investors and advisers,” he said.

SS&C Global Head of Investor and Distribution Solutions, Nick Wright, said the firm was pleased to further its long-term relationship with RLAM as they continued developing their distribution model in Australia.
