Elevating Your Fund’s Potential: Premier Fund Administration Services in Singapore
The global regulatory landscape is shifting rapidly. For fund managers, balancing alpha generation with complex operational compliance isn't just a challenge—it’s a high-stakes bottleneck.
Managing investor expectations while navigating strict cross-border tax compliance requires institutional-grade infrastructure. That is exactly where strategic operational partnership becomes your competitive edge.
At Bestar Singapore, we provide comprehensive, tech-driven Fund Administration services designed to streamline your operations, mitigate risks, and let your investment team focus entirely on performance.
Complete Fund Accounting Services
Accurate, timely, and transparent financial reporting is the bedrock of investor trust. Our fund accounting services ensure your portfolio's financial health is meticulously tracked and reported under robust accounting frameworks (including IFRS and Singapore FRS).
Net Asset Value (NAV) Calculation: Regular, precise determination of NAV, ensuring full accuracy in asset valuation, fee calculations, and expense accruals.
Financial Statement Preparation: Compilation of complete statutory financial statements, fully prepared for seamless annual audits.
Portfolio and Cash Reconciliation: Daily or periodic reconciliation of cash balances and portfolio positions against prime brokers and custodians to eliminate discrepancies.
Investor Reporting: Customized capital account statements, performance reporting, and transparent tracking of partner capital dynamics.
Seamless FATCA and CRS Reporting Services
Cross-border tax compliance carries heavy penalties for non-compliance or misreporting. As global regulatory bodies tighten enforcement, Bestar ensures your fund remains fully aligned with international standards.

For funds dealing with US investors or US-sourced income, we handle the intricacies of FATCA compliance:
Identifying and classifying Entity Status (e.g., FFI status).
Registering the fund with the IRS to obtain a Global Intermediary Identification Number (GIIN).
Conducting investor due diligence (W-8/W-9 form collection and review) and electronic filing of annual FATCA reports with the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS).
Common Reporting Standard (CRS)
To meet the requirements of automatic exchange of financial account information globally, our CRS services cover:
Classifying reporting financial institutions.
Conducting rigorous data due diligence on investor tax residencies.

To get a tailored proposal from Bestar Singapore covering your fund administration, fund accounting, and FATCA/CRS compliance needs, please provide a few key details about your current structure.
This helps ensure our onboarding and corporate services team can map out an accurate operational scope and pricing model for you.
Fund Profile Details
Please share the following specifications (you can share approximate estimates):
Fund Structure: (e.g., Singapore VCC (Variable Capital Company), Private Limited Company, LP, or an offshore master-feeder structure)
Asset Class / Strategy: (e.g., Venture Capital, Private Equity, Hedge Fund, Real Estate, or Family Office)
Estimated AUM & Portfolio Size: (Approximate Assets Under Management and expected number of underlying investments/positions)
Frequency of NAV Calculation: (e.g., Monthly, Quarterly, or Daily)
Investor Base: (Approximate number of investors and whether you anticipate a high concentration of US or reportable cross-border tax residents for FATCA/CRS)
Once you share these parameters, our team will compile a formal, structured service proposal detailing:
Scope of Deliverables: Clear division of responsibilities for accounting timelines, data due diligence, and IRAS reporting.
Fee Schedule: Transparent setup and ongoing administration fees.
Onboarding Timeline: A step-by-step transition roadmap.
If you prefer to hop on a brief call first to discuss the operational workflows or your current compliance timeline, let us know your availability.
Fees
Our fees are tailored directly to the complexity and specific operational requirements of your fund. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, we structure our pricing transparently across three core pillars to align with your fund's lifecycle and operational cadence.
Fee Structure Components
1. Initial Setup & Onboarding Fee (One-Time)
This covers the implementation phase to integrate your fund onto our systems and establish compliance workflows.
Fund Accounting Setup: Establishing the chart of accounts, integrating with prime brokers/custodians, and configuring valuation policies under IFRS/SFRS.
Tax Compliance Onboarding: Registering the fund entity with the IRS (obtaining a GIIN) and setting up the mandatory reporting portals with the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) for FATCA and CRS.
2. Ongoing Fund Administration & Accounting Fee (Recurring)
Typically structured as a monthly or quarterly retainer, this fee is determined by your specific fund parameters:
Assets Under Management (AUM): Often calculated as a small basis-point fee on AUM, subject to a minimum baseline fee to ensure institutional-grade coverage.
Frequency & Complexity: Based on whether your strategy demands Daily, Monthly, or Quarterly NAV calculations, alongside the volume of underlying portfolio transactions.
Investor Reporting: The volume of limited partners (LPs) or shareholders requiring capital account statements, side-letter management, and distribution processing.
3. Statutory Tax Reporting Fees (Annual)
Fixed, per-filing fees for specialized global tax compliance mandates:
FATCA/CRS Reporting: Covers the ongoing electronic collection, due diligence validation of investor tax residencies (W-8/W-9 forms or self-certifications), and generation/submission of annual XML reporting files directly to IRAS.
Our Fee Matching Commitment: At Bestar, we maintain a highly competitive institutional pricing model. If you have received an active proposal from another qualified corporate services or fund administration provider in Singapore, we are fully prepared to match competitor pricing to demonstrate our value and earn your long-term partnership.
To provide you with an exact quotation or a line-item fee schedule, please share your expected Fund Structure (e.g., VCC, LP), Asset Class/Strategy, and estimated AUM or Investor Count. We will turn around a formal proposal for your review within 1–2 business days.
