Fund Services
IFIT Fund Services AG specialises in fund administration, fund representation and fund set-up facilitation. Headquartered in Zurich and with additional operations in Athens, we administer 80+ funds. With highly qualified staff as ideal contact partners, we pride ourselves on being efficient, fast and fairly-priced administrators.
The idea for IFIT Fund Services was born of the frustration and cost of dealing with big-name administrators on behalf of funds which our mother company, IFIT AG, had seeded. IFIT thus acquired a majority stake in Fund Advisers Admin AG (FAA) in 2007.
With a diverse array of funds under administration, we find that our customers often welcome structuring advice and therefore IFIT also facilitates the setup of customized fund structures.
IFIT Fund Services takes the stress out of fund set-up and administration - enabling you to focus on your investors and your investments.
