TFA's fund administration process is team-based. When a fund hires TFA, a highly qualified team (comprising of members from Client Relations, Compliance, Operations, and IT) is involved in the set-up and ongoing maintenance of the fund. This approach allows us to respond to fund requests quickly and provides flexibility to adapt to a fund's changing requirements as it grows. 

 

Client Relations Management & Compliance

Each fund is assigned to a client relationship manager who handles communication with the fund's investors, the transfer agency process, ongoing cash maintenance, and wiring. The head of compliance oversees the transfer agency process and deals with regulatory or compliance issues arising in the process of administering the fund.

​​

​Operations Group

​The operations group led by the COO is comprised of qualified accountants and operations analysts based in Chicago. Each fund is assigned to a specific operations analyst or accountant with an assigned backup. The assigned individual works under the supervision of a senior accountant and is responsible for NAVs, financial statements, valuations, ledger entries, any other quantitative and statistical calculations necessary,  shareholder/partner reports, audit support, and tax preparation work.

​

Information Technology Group

​To ensure operational efficiency and robust process integration for fund administration, TFA relies on state-of-the-art technologies for its internal operations as well as for information sharing with its clients and investors in the funds.  TFA has thus developed a comprehensive, systematic, and risk-sensitive approach to technology and information security.  TFA works with a leading provider of technology outsourcing for all of the company’s servers, desktops, network infrastructure, cloud, and backup solutions.  The company’s proprietary software development and maintenance are managed through the Chicago office.
