About the role

You will join a boutique fund administration and corporate services firm in Singapore, in a lean team where everyone rolls up their sleeves. The focus of this hire is Transfer Agency and Investor Services, with hands-on exposure to Fund Accounting and close collaboration with the fund accounting team.

You will support a portfolio of Hedge Funds, Private Equity and Venture Capital structures, working with fund managers, investors, banks, and internal stakeholders. This is a good fit for someone who wants end-to-end fund operations exposure in a boutique environment.

What you will do (key responsibilities)

Transfer Agency / Investor Services (core)

• Support investor onboarding and maintenance (subscription documents, KYC and investor data setup)
• Perform day-to-day TA dealing support: subscriptions, redemptions, transfers, switches, and investor enquiries
• Prepare and issue investor notices, including capital call and distribution notices (where applicable)
• Assist with AML, FATCA and CRS processes, including periodic reviews and ongoing due diligence
• Maintain accurate investor registers and ensure proper filing and record keeping
  

Fund Accounting exposure (supporting)

• Work with the fund accounting team on operational items that impact NAV, investor allocations and reporting
• Assist with processing and validations that support NAV deliverables (for example cash movements, expense support, reconciliations, and fee data)
• Support the preparation of fund and SPV schedules and respond to internal or external information requests

Client and stakeholder management

• Liaise with clients and external parties such as fund managers, banks, auditors and advisors under guidance of senior team members
• Support client meetings by preparing data, trackers and follow ups

Process and controls

• Follow internal procedures to meet deadlines and service levels
• Support process improvements, including system enhancements, checklists, and workflow tidy-ups
  

What we look for (requirements)

• 2 to 4 years of relevant experience in Transfer Agency / Investor Services within fund services, fund admin, trustee or asset management operations (strong 4 to 5 years can be considered if within budget)
• Exposure to fund accounting workflows is required (for example working alongside NAV teams, understanding how TA impacts NAV and investor reporting)
• Solid understanding of onboarding, investor documentation and operational controls
• Working knowledge of AML and investor due diligence concepts, including FATCA and CRS
• Comfortable working in a small, fast-paced team and handling multiple deadlines
• Clear communication skills and willingness to work directly with clients
• Degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or equivalent
  

Nice to have

• Experience supporting hedge funds, PE, VC, SPVs
• Familiarity with TA and fund admin systems (for example Paxus, Investran, Geneva, Mshare, etc.)
• Experience with periodic review or KYC remediation projects
  

Why this role (what you get)

• Broad exposure across TA and fund operations in a boutique environment
• Direct access to senior stakeholders and faster learning curve compared with large institutional platforms
• Benefits include comprehensive health insurance and discretionary bonus
