Fund Administrators

The team at Northpoint printing have enjoyed working with a number of fund administrators over the past few years, both within England and offshore. Although many of the documents required are similar to those needed by both Public Limited Companies and Investment Banks we do appreciate there are also subtle differences in the documents' production, information requirements and distribution.

Personalised printing (variable data print) merges your fund's shareholder database information with our digital print technology, thus allowing you to streamline printed products to target particular individuals. Printing unique content on each page of a document is proven to deliver both greater impact and better response rates. This allows our clients to make best use of our personalised print facilities and we have invested in the software to produce personalised print products for both black only and colour documents.

Your documents can be now also be customised and personalised in ways not previously possible. We will personalise anywhere in your document with, say, shareholders' personal allotments, total share value and address details – and this has proven particularly useful when printing an application form or provisional allotment letter (PAL). Northpoint also has the capability to print barcode data where requested.

If your fund is located offshore, either within the British Isles or further afield, we will provide you with one of our typesetters if requested to work from your offices at time-critical moments, bringing their iBook Macs and software with them. This can be done at the initial set-up stage or later during the drafting process so that instant changes can be made for Board approval without the need of to-and-fro proofing.

The iBooks connect directly to our server so you not only have the assurance of constantly keeping high security but we also maintain a full audit trail for your records. This remote service can save you both valuable time and money as it greatly reduces production time. Your documents are signed off sooner and therefore printed or uploaded to your web site sooner.
