Case Study

Partnering with Fund Administrators

A fund administrator wanted to offer its clients comprehensive private credit administration without building that credit expertise internally. Oak Branch Advisors partnered with the administrator to provide the underlying credit servicing, letting the administrator extend its own service offering without the buildout.

The Challenge

The administrator’s clients were entering into increasingly complex private credit transactions, and the administrator needed the specialized credit expertise to service them, along with systems capable of onboarding the variety of triggers, conditions, and structural features that could affect cash flow calculations. Building this internally would have required significant time, capital investment, and specialized hiring.

The Oak Branch Advisors Solution

Oak Branch Advisors was engaged to perform transaction onboarding, ongoing cash flow calculations, and loan agency services for the administrator’s private credit clients. Our team worked with the administrator to customize the specific data fields, citations, and calculation logic needed for each client, and built a mapping between our systems and the administrator’s to support ongoing, established data transfers.

For each loan transaction, Oak Branch Advisor’s credit professionals review the required documents, extract agreed terms and conditions into PCS/1, and transfer that data to the administrator’s system via secure feeds. PCS/1 generates monthly borrower notices, which our team quality-checks before they’re sent to the administrator for delivery to the end client.

The Result

The partnership gave the fund administrator a seamless way to offer comprehensive private credit administration and agency services to its clients, supplementing its existing fund administration offering with Oak Branch Advisor’s deep private credit expertise and asset-class specific systems it did not then need to build in-house.
