I couldn't speak more highly of my team at Trident and I would recommend them to anyone. They are responsive, proactive, super helpful, the work provided is flawless. I just really, really enjoy working with them. High quality services.

Global Custodian Private Equity Administration Survey, 2020

Trident works hard to accommodate my timing requirements. Even through COVID they hardly missed a beat. I shadow their work, and more often than not I find it is I who made a mistake.

Global Custodian Hedge Fund Administration Survey, 2021

Trident is extremely responsive and helpful in all aspects of their service. The attention to detail is excellent and the accuracy of the reporting is impeccable.

Middle East

Providing access to a USD7 trillion regional economy, which includes sovereign wealth funds, family offices, pension funds, high and ultra high net worth individuals, the Dubai International Financial Centre offers asset managers the  infrastructure of a world-class financial centre, combined with an investment funds regime that meets the highest international standards.

Funds domiciled in the DIFC or managed  by a DIFC-licensed Fund Manager are classified as Domestic Funds. There are three main types of Domestic Funds: Qualified Investor Funds (QIFs), Exempt Funds and Public Funds, which can all be structured as companies or partnerships. Our Dubai team is a licensed fund administrator in the DIFC and is able to assist with all aspects of the establishment and administration of DIFC funds. The team also administers funds established in other jurisdictions, including the Cayman Islands.

Today we administer more than 40 African private equity vehicles, with assets totalling $6 billion, ranging from first-time funds to major market names such as such as Africinvest, GroFin, Mediterrania Capital Partners and African Capital Alliance. We are a familiar name to many of the established investors in Africa, including the major Development Financial Institutions that pioneered the market and retain a pivotal position today. We have been named Fund Administrator of the Year eight times by Private Equity Africa magazine and are also its Fund Administrator of the Decade.
