Waystone’s UK ACD surpasses £100bn in AUM
- Waystone Management UK overseeing £100bn AUM across more than 80 investment managers and sponsors comprising over 225 funds
- Growth driven by increasing demand for independent ACD specialists that enable managers to focus on their core investment strategies
Waystone’s ACD Service Achieves a Major Milestone
Waystone, a leading provider of specialist services to the global asset management industry, today announced that its UK Authorised Corporate Director (ACD) has surpassed £100bn in Assets Under Management (AUM), bringing the total AUM of Waystone’s global ACD and ManCo business to over $409bn.
This landmark achievement highlights Waystone’s continued growth in the UK and further underscores the growing demand for independent ACDs/Management Companies (ManCos). The UK’s investment landscape continues to evolve with growing complexity, meaning asset managers and sponsors are increasingly turning to third-party specialists like Waystone to provide a scalable, cost-efficient, risk managed and compliant solution.
This is reflected in Waystone’s expanding client base. The UK ACD team now supports more than 80 investment managers and sponsors overseeing a diverse portfolio of over 225 funds, highlighting the breadth of Waystone’s multidisciplinary expertise and its ability to deliver at scale.
Continued Success for Waystone
This recent success builds on Waystone’s recognition as the largest independent UK ACD in the 7th annual UK Fund Report by Monterey Insights1 along with the opening of Waystone’s new London office in the heart of the City, now serving as the central hub for the company’s UK operations.
