Choosing the Right Fund Administrator: Key Questions Answered
Get answers to common questions about selecting a fund administrator. As we move past this year’s audit season, learn how SS&C helps you stay audit-ready year-round.
-
How do we choose the right fund administrator?
Choose a fund administrator based on fit, not just cost. Prioritize:
- Proven experience with your fund strategy and structure complexity
- Strong audit track record, control environment and technology capabilities
- Ability to scale with fund growth and new geographies.
-
What questions should we ask when evaluating a new fund administrator?
A thoughtful set of questions is critical to selecting the right fund administrator. Here are several key questions:
- How do you support audits, and what feedback do auditors typically provide?
- What experience do you have with the asset class(es) we focus on?
- How is your team structured, and do you have enough people, with the right skills and experience, to properly support our funds?
- What does your onboarding and conversion process look like?
- How do you handle complex structures and non-standard events?
- What services do you provide that are related directly and indirectly to our strategies?
- What controls govern NAV production and error resolution?
- Can your technology perform straight-through processes with transparency that is auditable?
-
What technology capabilities should we look for when considering a fund administrator?
In addition to a well-planned long-term strategy for utilizing advanced technology, the firm’s current technology should enable control, transparency and scalability:
- Data access and transparency - Can the firm access fund data on demand? Do they provide auditors with self-serve access?
- Reporting flexibility - Can reports be customized easily for internal teams and LPs?
- System integrations - Does the administrator enable connectivity with data platforms and other downstream applications?
- Automation - Is there reduced reliance on spreadsheets and manual workflows?
- Audit trail and controls - Is there clear data lineage and documentation
- Complex structures support - Does the firm offer multi-entity and multi-asset capability?
-
What services should the fund administrator perform for us in the area of audit support?
A fund administrator should act as the central audit coordination hub:
- Prepare financial statements and supporting schedules
- Manage PBC requests, confirmations and samples
- Coordinate timelines, deliverables and auditor interactions
- Track and resolve audit queries and adjustments
- Maintain complete documentation and audit trails
-
What are the benefits of working with a fund administrator for audits?
Key benefits include:
- Expertise and specialization ensure audits are conducted efficiently and effectively
- Enhanced governance with fewer delays, adjustments and rework
- Access to specialized technology resulting in improved data quality and consistency
- Streamlined auditor access to information via detailed and transparent reporting
- Faster, more predictable audit cycles
- Independent and objective, which provides assurance that audits are conducted fairly and without bias
-
How much involvement is required from the GP/manager?
While execution is outsourced, ownership remains with the GP. A provider like SS&C typically handles:
- Day-to-day audit coordination and data preparation
- Auditor communication and request management
The GP/Manager focuses on:
- Key judgments (e.g., valuations, assumptions)
- Final review and sign-off
-
What makes SS&C different from other fund administrators?

- Depth of expertise across all major investment strategies
