EFA serves today more than 200 fund management clients, representing €123 billion in assets under administration. The client base is predominantly composed of medium and smaller sized specialised asset managers, who value EFA’s open architecture platform providing access to 75 management companies, 100 depositary banks and more than 1,000 fund distributors. Clients appreciate EFA’s quality approach and conflict of interest free operating model. In addition to core fund accounting and transfer agency services, the company provides value-added services in the areas of compliance, risk management and distribution support, as well as reconciliation and cash monitoring services to depositary banks. The service range also covers valuation and reporting solutions for life insurers and their distribution partners.

EFA is a Luxembourg success story with international reach, spanning multiple jurisdictions and a growing array of products. The private equity and real estate business line, as an example, has experienced significant growth and now represents €16.2 billion in assets under administration. EFA France, which was launched 10 years ago, delivers services to a growing number of innovative fund products such as the Fonds d’Investissement de Proximité and Fonds Communs de Placement dans l’Innovation and currently has €15.1 billion under administration in 208 fund structures.

EFA does not make use of offshore production capabilities but rather values a model whereby the emphasis is put on engineering and developing turn-key solutions and exporting know-how and infrastructure services to access international markets, in partnership with prestigious counterparties, such as SEB, Standard Chartered Bank and SEI.

Research and product development efforts are channelled towards increasing productivity and ensuring quality but also towards encouraging customisation and innovation. Cross border master-feeder structures, enhanced services to management companies as well as EFA’s active involvement in a Luxembourg Blockchain initiative are recent examples of EFA’s R&D.

Rafik Fischer, Chairman of the Board of Directors of EFA, underlines the importance of EFA's business model.
"EFA’s Shareholders are 100% satisfied with the company's market position and future prospects. EFA is an integral part of our own service offerings and essential to our continued success".

Thomas Seale, CEO, emphasises that “EFA’s ambition is to be the premier quality fund servicing company in Luxembourg. We invest in technical and human resources to provide unparalleled client experience, a true private banking approach”.
