Following a successful implementation of eFront’s technology, the platform is available to all funds across Luxembourg, Spain, Chile and Italy, served by Adepa.
Luxembourg/London, 25th October 2023
Adepa, the Luxembourg-based Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) and Fund Administrator, has selected eFront®, a BlackRock technology solution dedicated to private markets. This has allowed Adepa to strengthen the tailored services it provides to clients across private equity, private debt, infrastructure and real estate.
Following a competitive search process, Adepa chose the eFront platform for its client-service led approach and market leading alternative investment and data analytics capabilities. eFront solutions are available across Adepa’s entire business, including the Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) services, as well as Fund Administration and Transfer Agency.
Esteban Nogueyra, Head of Fund Administration at Adepa, said: “We are delighted to have partnered with BlackRock to implement its eFront technology, enhancing our Fund Administration and Investor Services solutions for leading alternative asset managers globally. By integrating eFront in our technology platform, we will provide a one-stop-shop combining the advantages of our back-office capabilities and leading alternative fund services expertise in Europe and Latin America, supporting our international expansion, and allowing our clients to focus on their core business.”
According to BlackRock’s 2023 Global Investment Outlook, investors will need to make more frequent changes to portfolios to adjust to a new investment regime characterized by greater volatility. The eFront platform provides clients with the data and analytics needed to inform investment decisions across all private capital asset classes.
“We’re incredibly proud to be working with Adepa, an industry leader dedicated to giving clients deeper portfolio insights that lead to unique, and meaningful, investment outcomes,” said Melissa Ferraz, Global Head of Aladdin Alternatives.
