ALTALLO Celebrates One Year of Milestones, Pairing Regents Gate Capital and Opus Fund Services
Happy one-year anniversary to Mel Sutton and congratulations on scaling ALTALLO to a truly global alternative investments ecosystem. The fact that so many milestones have been achieved in such a short amount of time speaks to the effectiveness and timeliness of the platform.
As investor expectations continues to rise and the challenges to differentiate intensify, fund managers who combine innovative technology with scalable, institutional-grade infrastructure and risk management will have a long-term competitive edge.
Opus Fund Services is proud of our fund administration partnership with Regents Gate Capital and to have been an early adopting member of ALTALLO.

Laura Clarke – Why Clients Feel like Valued Partners at Opus
"Our current administrator just makes us feel like a number”
With the increasing prioritization on profit over service, fund managers have never been more frustrated from a lack of personalized service and proactive support from their administrator. High turnover, inexperienced coverage teams, delayed response times, and poor investor experiences are all reasons we hear when fund managers choose Opus when upgrading their administrator experience.
Laura Clarke, Vice President of Client Solutions, shares why clients feel like valued partners at Opus and how every client receives a dedicated Client Relationship Manager with a deep understanding of their business and investor requirements.
Clear accountability. Timely answers. And long-term, trusted relationships.
Opus. Engineered for Growth.
Erin Rhindress – With Opus, Conversions Don’t Have To Be Painful
For many fund managers, upgrading their administrator will result in improved client service, more institutionalized operations, and enhanced investor experiences. Unfortunately, fund managers will often suffer the status quo because of the perception that changing administrators is a risk.
Erin Rhindress, Senior Vice President of Implementation, explains why with Opus Fund Services, conversions don't have to be painful. In fact, Opus has successfully converted over 500 funds of all strategies, while earning a perfect score for Onboarding in the recent Global Custodian Survey.
Tenured, experienced teams. Strong project management. Clear communication. And a fully transparent, proven conversion process.
Opus. Engineered for Growth.
Stephanie Lavin – A day in the Life of An Opus Fund Accountant is Not What You'd Think
At a time when legacy fund administration still relies on manual, spreadsheet-based workflows, how does Opus Fund Services have the scale to provide individualized attention for each client?
Stephanie Lavin, Senior Vice President, shares how a day in the life of an Opus fund accountant is not what you'd think. And how the unexpected results in consistent, timely, accurate NAVs.
Experienced accountants, using good judgement, empowered by intelligently automated technology.
Opus. Engineered for Growth.
Geoff Appleby – Our Opus Platform is Engineered Differently
The status quo is no longer acceptable. Legacy fund administration is failing to keep pace with the needs of fund managers to do more with less, as well as with the ever-increasing standards of their investors.
Geoff Appleby, EVP of Enterprise Architecture at Opus Fund Services, shares how the Opus platform is engineered differently - so we continuously evolve with the industry and remain the best long-term partner for our clients.
Dynamically simple, exponentially scalable, intelligently automated.
Opus. Engineered for Growth.
