The fund administration space is characterised by industry consolidation and market competition as well as increasing convergence in the role of the various service providers. As third party fund administrators, custodians, prime brokers and even the larger fund managers begin to encroach on each other's space, maintaining service levels is vital. As the hedge fund industry itself matures and develops, these service providers are becoming more creative in the products and services they can offer to deal with increasingly complex administrative and operational challenges. Wider regulatory and investor influences are also challenging the way that operations is perceived, transforming it into a key core competence.

This marcus evans forum will assess the direction the hedge fund administration industry is taking and address the market concerns relating to the evolving asset servicing landscape. Key speakers from leading European fund administrators, custodians and prime brokers will debate whether the new services they are developing are actually adding value for their clients. Chief operating officers from leading hedge funds will discuss how they perceive the service they are receiving and their plans for future technological investments.
