Our Story

Since its inception in 2012, INDOS Financial has grown organically, developing solutions recognised as industry-leading. As of June 2021, client assets under oversight have grown past $35 billion. In 2021 JTC completed the acquisition of INDOS, enhancing JTC’s well-established fund services capabilities.

There are many reasons that make INDOS such an attractive proposition to potential clients, here are just some of them.

  • We deliver a robust, independent service which enhances fund governance. We firmly believe that the depositary provider should act independently from the fund administrator thereby always ensuring that the depositary functions in the best interests of the investor.  Therefore, it is imperative that strict controls and measures are in place to deliver depositary services autonomously. This belief is growing within the fund management community. In the last three years alone, over 50% of INDOS’ depositary assets have been transferred from other service providers. Since JTC’s acquisition the INDOS brand has been retained to demonstrate the integrity and independence of our depositary services under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD).
  • INDOS’ clients enjoy a tailored fee structure where, unlike the fixed rates charged by many other providers of depositary services, rates decline as fund managers’ assets grow.
  • The INDOS team, based in our London, Fareham and Ireland offices, bring with them a wealth of experience operating in the alternative funds arena. Working closely with our clients’ existing fund administrators, prime brokers and custodians, they offer exceptional standards of service – flexible, proactive and transparent; this has been instrumental in our ability to build long-term and successful client relationships.
