The former management team of the Direct Equity Division of Wafra Partners formed Granite Bridge Partners in July, 2018. The new firm lacked the resources to undertake fund administration internally and needed a partner that would allow them to focus on what they do best: source investments and generate value at their portfolio companies. Granite Bridge conducted a substantive vendor review process and ultimately chose PEF Services.

"PEF understands our business, provides us the technology to operate more efficiently, and helps us maintain our compliance regime as an RIA," said Jeff Gerson, Partner and Chief Compliance Officer at Granite Bridge. "They do so seamlessly and appear to our clients as an extension of ourselves. From day one when they facilitated our launch and disseminated our first capital call, PEF has delivered on all its promises."

PEF Services is nationally recognized as one of the top Private Capital fund administrators supporting multiple fund types and investments including a buyout, venture, debt, real estate, co-investment, SPVs, and fund of funds.

"PEF supports our clients with a complete range of fund administration services, best-in-class technologies and industry expertise," said Beth Manzi, Chief Operating Officer of PEF Services. "We are delighted to service Granite Bridge Partners as a fund administration client. We look forward continuing to help their team remain focused on value creation."

This case study is one in a series of published case studies highlighting client growth and success supported by PEF's fund administration services.
