Investment Fund Services

Understanding our fund services and the difference we make

Calling on the Marlborough Group’s wealth of experience in funds and investing, our fund services team act as an independent steward for fund investments – what’s officially known as an Authorised Corporate Director (ACD) or Authorised Fund Manager (AFM). We ensure that the funds we oversee are run in the best interests of investors and also have ultimate responsibility for a fund’s compliance with the Financial Conduct Authority’s rules and regulations.

This is an important role and one we perform for over 20 companies operating fund ranges in the UK. The companies we work alongside to design and launch funds are called fund sponsors. Often, these businesses also manage the investments in the funds.

We manage over £10.5bn of assets and provide exceptional investment solutions for 200,000 individual, intermediary and institutional investors globally. 

We are an award-winning investment management specialist, a leading provider of Authorised Corporate Director (ACD) services and our market-leading investment platform delivers next-generation service and outcomes for advisers and their clients.

When you entrust your hard-earned savings to a fund manager, you want to be able to relax – secure in the knowledge that everything’s running exactly as it should. That’s where our Investment Fund Services team come in.

We have a duty to act in the best interests of investors and ensure funds are well managed, in line both with financial regulations and with the investment objectives and other commitments set out in the detailed description of how the fund will be run, which is called the prospectus.

The prospectus and other useful documents are available on the literature page of our website. We also provide a range of administration services for the funds. So, if you need to change your contact details, make a transaction, check on the value of your investment or you have another question, visit our contact page.
