IFDS is proud to have achieved its commitment to “be the leading provider of high quality investor services and systems to the UK collective investment industry”.

Since its formation in 1995 as a joint venture between DST and State Street Bank, we have grown from 86 employees administering 2% of the UK Retail Fund markets to IFDS - a single global brand with around 1,700 employees at multiple sites providing systems and administration services and a 30% market share.

Investment has been a key feature in the growth of IFDS – over £100 million in technology, over £20 million in a new headquarters, additional property acquisitions in Chelmsford, and, since 2003, substantial investments in the distributor fund supermarket, Cofunds. However, as well as the development of our systems, it is the skills, knowledge and application of our employees that have enabled IFDS to achieve its successes to date and we are continually looking for new talent to add to this winning formula.
