Specialized Expertise

Nottingham views the handling of shareholder purchases and redemptions, service requests, tax reporting and other direct interactions with your investors as an extension of your firm. While we do not get involved with sales and marketing, once you have an investor in your investment vehicle, Nottingham’s transfer agent and shareholder servicing team treats your shareholders as though they were our own.

Given our unique combination of accounts – mutual funds, private hedge funds, government investment pools and foundation endowment accounts – Nottingham has a unique ability to react to your investor’s unique needs and reporting requirements.

Transfer Agent Services

Nottingham, registered with the SEC as a transfer agent since 1989 , is the only full-service registered transfer agent in the southeastern U.S. This status allows it to manage a wide range of fund structures — such as ETFs, closed-end, interval, hybrid, and 1940 Act mutual funds — that many competitors cannot.

Its shareholder representatives handle advanced tasks beyond basic duties, including managing distributions and dividends, distributing reports, and maintaining records for both shareholders and funds.

I looked at 15-20 admin firms, firms all over the country, but when I walked into Nottingham, I knew. I had a very favorable, personable impression from the outset.

Endowment Advisor, Wachovia Securities

Our relationship with Nottingham has improved the effectiveness and efficiency of what I’ve been able to do for the endowment. There has not been one thing we’ve asked for that they’ve not come up with a way to address our request.

It is so nice to have an organization that works so hard on our behalf. You have made me feel so comfortable about the transition from my previous provider. I’ve been in business since I was 15 years old, and I have never met a group of people that I liked as much from day one as the folks at Nottingham.
