STP Investment Services has released STP LaunchAdvisor, a bundled service aimed at helping emerging hedge fund and private equity managers navigate operational and regulatory complexities. The solution integrates fund administration and compliance into a single offering, reducing the need for multiple service providers and streamlining essential processes.

STP LaunchAdvisor is designed to create efficiencies by leveraging client and portfolio data across fund administration and compliance functions. For example, regulatory filings prepared by STP’s ComplianceAdvisor team utilize the same data used in fund administration, reducing duplication and improving accuracy. The service also includes access to STP’s BluePrint platform, which centralizes investment operations, reporting, and analytics.

In addition to operational support, STP LaunchAdvisor provides hands-on guidance for new managers, helping them understand service requirements, provider coordination, and long-term business setup. The offering connects managers with a network of preferred providers, including audit, tax, prime brokerage, and legal firms, to facilitate essential services at competitive rates.

“With market conditions in 2025 expected to drive increased fund launch activity, new managers need cost-effective, comprehensive solutions to support their operational and regulatory needs,” said David Goldstein, Director of Fund Administration Product at STP Investment Services. “STP LaunchAdvisor is designed to remove complexity, reduce costs and time to market, ensure compliance, and streamline regulatory filings. We provide hands-on expertise, ensuring that managers have the tools and guidance they need from day one.”

STP emphasizes the importance of early-stage support, particularly for managers entering the market for the first time. “STP LaunchAdvisor is more than just a service – STP’s service team builds true partnerships with new managers who need more support in the early stages,” said Emmy Bernard, Chief Revenue Officer at STP Investment Services. “Our solution not only supports new managers but ensures they can adapt and thrive in an ever-changing market, with technology, compliance, and operational efficiency built in to keep them ahead of the curve.”

By integrating fund administration and compliance functions, STP aims to provide emerging managers with the infrastructure needed to scale efficiently while maintaining regulatory oversight. The approach aligns with broader industry trends favoring streamlined operations and cost efficiency in fund management.
