Treasury Group fund manager Aubrey Capital Management has awarded a mandate to custodian RBC Dexia for the provision of investor services to its Australia-based funds.
The mandate includes global custody, investment accounting, transfer agency, mandate compliance, and performance and attribution services across the Australian funds of the Edinburgh-based manager.
"The performance and attribution expertise offered by RBC Dexia is of particular importance and allows us to provide consultants and prospective clients with the highest level of data," Aubrey chief executive Barry McCorkell said.
"RBC Dexia is already helping us in a highly efficient manner with our United Kingdom-registered UCITS 3 OEIC [a European Union compliant investment vehicle] and we look forward to forging a broader and stronger partnership through the new fund."
RBC Dexia already provides services to boutique backer Treasury Group, which facilitated the agreement.
"RBC Dexia operates a partner-driven approach to client management, a key differentiator for Aubrey Capital Management during the selection process," RBC Dexia managing director David Travers said.
"Aubrey recognised the partnership we have with Treasury Group and our open and active approach along with a deep understanding of Aubrey's investment management business puts us in a great starting position as we embark on this relationship."
The companies did not disclose any financial details of the contract.
RBC Dexia is a joint venture between RBC and Dexia and has US$2.4 trillion in client assets under administration.
