Under this agreement, RBC Dexia will provide trustee, custody, fund administration, financial reporting, distribution support and shareholder services for Tensor Fund, a new Ireland-domiciled UCITS fund.

EMS Capital CFO Kevin Barrett said that RBC Dexia’s demonstrated thought leadership in distribution support and global distribution trends was a significant differentiator from the other firms competing for our business.

"We want a service partner with on-the-ground capabilities and a network of key contacts to help get our UCITS fund noticed and on the shelf in key geographies."

RBC Dexia said that the prospect of increased regulation and demand for transparency is increasing the attractiveness of tax efficient, well-regulated, established offshore centers such as Dublin and Luxembourg. RBC Dexia has operating centers in both jurisdictions.
