About Belasko

Belasko is a proudly independent fiduciary and fund administration provider with offices in Guernsey, Jersey, Luxembourg and the UK. Founded in 2011, Belasko was established to deliver bespoke, high-quality solutions to institutional and private clients, with an unwavering focus on service excellence across three core service lines: Funds, Corporate Services, and Private Wealth.

Today, Belasko employs 185+ professionals and administers approximately $29 billion in assets under administration. Our growth to date has been driven primarily through organic expansion, complemented by targeted M&A where it aligns with our long-term strategic vision.

We are deliberately focused on redefining the fund administration experience for alternative asset managers who value clarity, consistency, and accountability. In a market where client service standards can fall away as providers scale, we have invested in both technology and specialist onboarding capabilities to ensure fund managers can transition administrators or launch new structures with confidence. By planning governance, operations, and service delivery upfront, we aim to remove friction, reduce risk, and deliver a more dependable client experience over the life of the fund.

Belasko’s culture is built around being clear, agile, confident, and human. We work closely with our clients as long-term partners, and we give our people the opportunity to work alongside experienced leaders, contribute ideas, and grow with a business that continues to invest in its people, platforms, and service offering.

Our vision

To lead the future of fund and fiduciary administration by leveraging technology, exceptional people, and personalised service – enabling our clients to focus on what matters most: performance and growth.
