What the service does
Transfer agents process subscriptions, redemptions and hold the register of investors in your funds, putting them at a critical point of operational, compliance and cyber risk in the investment chain.
Thomas Murray issues an industry-agreed questionnaire to transfer agents annually which collects responses in a standardised format for easy and effecient analysis.
Clients have access to ongoing indicative assessments of questionnaire responses, monthly KPI updates for every transfer agent in their network, plus a voice in how the questionnaire evolves through the Transfer Agency Monitoring Working Group.
