FAQs

What is included in Automic's fund registry, administration and custody services?

Our service covers the full fund lifecycle: investor registry, fund accounting, NAV and unit price calculation, tax support, distributions, financial and regulatory reporting, trade matching and global custody. 

What does Automic's fund registry service include?

Comprehensive investor management with real-time access to more than 25 reports, personalised and automated investor communications, a centralised investor portal backed by Australian-based support, global payments in more than 27 currencies, and branded portals and communications across every investor touchpoint.

Can I use Automic for registry only, or administration only?

Yes. Registry, administration and custody are modular. Many clients start with one service and add others as their requirements change; everything runs on the same platform, so adding a module never means a new system or a new data migration.

What custody services does Automic provide?

We provide global sub-custody across more than 100 markets through our relationship with our global sub-custodian, covering asset safekeeping, transaction settlement, income collection, tax reclaims, corporate actions, proxy voting, cash and currency management. Custody is connected with registry and fund administration through Automic’s platform, creating a consistent view of holdings, transactions and reporting.

Which types of funds and asset classes can Automic support?

We support Australian unit trusts across open-ended structures, single and multi-class funds, listed investment trusts, fund of funds and closed-end funds. On the asset side, that spans domestic and global equities, private credit, real assets, private equity and other unlisted investments. If you're not sure whether your fund fits, talk to our team and we'll walk through your requirements together.

How do registry, administration and custody work together?

They all run on one platform with a single data layer underneath. Automic connects these functions through shared data, workflows and one Australian-based team, reducing handovers and providing clearer accountability across the fund lifecycle.

How often do you calculate NAV and unit prices?

As often as your fund needs. We calculate NAV and unit prices daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly, matched to your fund's pricing cycle.

What certifications and controls does Automic hold?

Our fund operations run under GS007-certified controls, which are independently assured under GS 007, the Australian auditing guidance for investment administration service providers. At group level, Automic is also certified to ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 27001 for information security and ISO 37301 for compliance management.

How does switching to Automic work?

We scope the full transition upfront, so you know what happens, when, and who owns each step. Your data is migrated and reviewed in a secure test environment before go-live, and we coordinate your current provider, investors and regulators throughout. The aim is that switching never becomes a project for your team.

What visibility will I have across my fund operations?

Automic’s client portal provides a consolidated view of investor activity, portfolio information, transactions, cash positions, valuations and unit pricing.
