Boston Partners is a global value investor with assets under management of $79 billion across 18 investment strategies. FundRock will provide Boston Partners with ManCo services via its Irish UCITS Platform. Delivery of these solutions will be underpinned by technology from global fund administration software PFS Paxus, which recently became part of Apex Group.

FundRock enables clients to streamline their operations in a cost-effective manner by offering third-party ManCo and, complemented by a wide range of fund administration, depositary and custody services delivered through parent company Apex Group.

This latest mandate win for FundRock follows a wider trend of non-European Union based managers and the Boards of Irish self-managed funds, partnering with established institutional third-party management companies. With significant substance and technology, FundRock can help funds to deliver resource and cost efficiencies and to meet their resourcing requirements in a post-CP86 and Brexit environment.

Barry O’Brien, Head of Funds, Ireland at FundRock comments: “Platforms continue to be an efficient and expedient gateway to market in Europe. and when combined with our active distribution capability, this provides a compelling solution for managers. We look forward to working with Boston Partners to enable them to distribute their funds and navigate the increasingly complex regulatory requirements of cross-border fund distribution.”
