Acolin, a Zurich-based provider of regulatory and cross-border fund distribution services across Europe, has acquired Luxembourg-based Global Fund Analytics (GFA), a SaaS-based data collection and analytics platform for asset managers and distributors.
Founded in 2014, the GFA platform aims to enable asset managers to ‘manage their increasing compliance obligations and to gain insights into their distribution networks’. GFA founder Gert Gert Rautenberg will join Acolin, taking up the role of Group Head of Strategic Business Development.
Theo Splinter, CEO of Acolin commented: ‘GFA’s sophisticated and flexible technology platform will allow Acolin’s asset management clients to substantially strengthen their relationship with distribution partners through fully customisable oversight tools and state-of-the-art analytical tools, generating transparent and strategic insights into their distribution activities.’
