Fundamentals of Fund Administration: A Guide

by David Loader

Fundamentals of Fund Administration fills a gap in the lack of books that cover the administration and operations functions related to funds. With the growth of hedge funds globally there is more and more requirement for fund administration services, and the success of the fund administration is crucial to the success of the funds themselves in a highly competitive market. As the focus on operational risk, cost effective support and administration of trading and investment and the ability to design, develop and deliver added-value services for clients grows there is a need for a comprehensive analysis of what happens from trade to settlement and beyond and the exact role that the fund administrator may be required to provide. The book helps those responsible for managing and supervising fund administration services by examining the decisions, actions and problems at the various stages as well as explaining the products and infrastructure that services support. Concise, easy to read format explains extensive and complicated procedures with lively, easy to follow road maps Comprehensive reference work with extensive glossary of terms, useful website addresses and further reading recommendations Covers all the major stages with detailed explanations of what is required for effective completion and regulatory compliance

Nothing terribly in depth, written in England apparently so mostly about British and Euro regulations. Comma usage atrocious, like 5 sentences a page that need commas. Half the book is a glossary.

Too simplistic. Not worth buying. I rented it on my Kindle for $26

Useless book on a subject crying out for a basic explanatory text. Why else would one read a book on such a topic?
