1741 Group is an independent Swiss fund servicing platform specialising in fund administration and management company (ManCo) services for asset managers holding both traditional listed UCITS and alternative assets

Company Background

  • 1741 Group was founded in 2016 and has since established itself as one of the most significant independent fund services providers in the Swiss market, offering fund administration and management company (ManCo) services to a broadly diversified client base of asset managers, pension funds and family offices
  • The Group operates a highly scalable platform designed to service clients across multiple jurisdictions, underpinning an efficient operating model and strong unit economics
  • Originally established as a specialist in listed UCITS, the Group has since expanded its platform into alternative asset classes including private equity and real estate, broadening its client offering beyond its traditional stronghold
  • Headquartered in St. Gallen, the Group operates predominantly across Switzerland, with further presence in Liechtenstein and Luxembourg

Vision & Outlook

  • 1741 Group aims to grow into a leading independent European fund services platform, winning on the back of continued automation and technology enablement to deliver a scalable, high-quality service proposition
  • The Group will look to expand further into alternative asset classes, deepening its capabilities in private equity, real estate and other illiquid strategies 
  • Nordic Capital will support 1741 Group's next phase of growth — both organically and through targeted bolt-on acquisitions — leveraging its deep experience in building scaled, regulated financial services platforms and its network across the European asset management ecosystem
