Our goal is to provide a select group of clients an unsurpassed level of service with our sole focus on fund administration.”
“Steven and I built DML over time into one of the leading outsourced providers of fund administration services at a time when the private equity industry was quite different. The market today is dominated by a number of institutional players and we think there is an opportunity for our boutique organization to partner with clients and help them navigate the new private equity environment. Third party administration will change and we want to return to our earlier roots so that we can build strong client relationships and have each interaction with them be meaningful for the ongoing operation of their firm.”
