Market Overview

Despite the pandemic, the Fund Administration industry has seen tremendous growth in the past years and is projected to expand continuously.

Fueled by the launch of the Variable Capital Company (VCC) structure in 2020, we have observed an influx of funds and Family Offices setting up in Singapore, with a focus on Private Equity and Real Estate funds. Fund Administrators that were initially focused on Mutual and Hedge funds have also started migrating their operations offshore while pivoting their focus to Private Equity and Real Estate funds.

In the past year, we have seen a rapid increase in demand for talent in this space. As the market gets increasingly competitive, plug-and-play candidates are demanding over 20% salary increments for their next move. In order to retain their employees, employers are also conducting salary reviews to stay competitive in the market. 

In this report, we would like to share the prospects of this market through the compilation of our data and the future developments of the industry.
