In today’s fast-moving environment, private fund managers face mounting pressure to meet rising investor expectations, navigate complex regulatory requirements, and operate more efficiently, all without increasing overhead or risk. For many, juggling multiple vendors for fund administration and compliance services creates unnecessary friction, delays, and cost.
At STP, we believe there’s a better way. By consolidating fund administration and compliance under one roof, managers can unlock powerful synergies that save time, reduce risk, and enhance investor confidence.
When you partner with a single firm for both fund administration and compliance, your core operational and regulatory functions are no longer siloed. That means no more reconciling data across systems or chasing down reports from multiple providers. With a shared data backbone, like STP’s integrated BluePrint platform, fund performance, investor activity, subscription documents, fee calculations, and regulatory filings are all centralized.
This creates a single source of truth that enhances accuracy and reduces manual touchpoints, ensuring faster turnaround times and fewer errors across the board.
With a fully integrated fund admin and compliance partner, data flows seamlessly between accounting, operations, and compliance workflows. This real-time synchronization enables quicker, more accurate preparation and submission of critical filings such as Blue Sky and Regulation D filings, as well as Form 13 filings.
Reducing handoffs between separate vendors spares your team from serving as a middle- man in the data collection process necessary to prepare these filings. STP’s fund admin and compliance teams work collaboratively on your filings, increasing accuracy, reducing delays and freeing up your team so they can focus on your firm’s growth.
Having one provider eliminates finger-pointing. If a compliance gap arises, there’s no ambiguity over who’s responsible. Your relationship manager isn’t coordinating across vendors, they’re working with a unified internal team that’s jointly accountable for the accuracy and timeliness of your deliverables.
This tightened accountability structure makes oversight more straightforward for GPs, COOs, and CCOs and enables faster issue resolution when questions arise.
Working with multiple vendors often results in duplicative fees, redundant onboarding processes, and fractured service models. By bundling fund administration and compliance services, you can reduce vendor management complexity and lower total cost of ownership, without sacrificing quality.
In an era where LPs expect transparency, responsiveness, and professionalism, the experience your firm delivers matters. A single provider is better positioned to orchestrate a cohesive investor journey, from investor onboarding through to capital call notices, compliance attestations, and ongoing reporting.
That’s especially critical when launching new funds, responding to investor requests, or navigating regulatory exams—times when seamless coordination between fund ops and compliance can make or break the experience.
Choosing a single firm to handle both fund administration and compliance isn’t just about convenience, it’s about enabling your team to operate smarter, faster, and with greater confidence. At STP, we’ve built our integrated model with this in mind: combining award-winning fund administration services with a robust, compliance offering—ComplianceAdvisor—designed specifically for private fund managers.
