Guernsey-based, family-owned independent fiduciary and fund administration business.
About us
We are a Guernsey-based, family-owned independent fiduciary and fund administration business with a reputation for meeting the needs of sophisticated fund clients, their investors and private clients. As a family business, continuity of relationships and a dedication to client service are at the core of everything we do. Our global client base includes founders, investors, individuals and families who share our dynamic approach to business and our desire to constantly evolve and embrace change. Private client: We set up, manage and administer a wide range of fiduciary structures, from trusts to complex family office arrangements. As a family-run, privately held company, we understand inter-generational dynamics and the role that good governance plays in keeping a steady ship. ‘Client first’ is a mantra we live by. A voice you know on the phone, an adviser, aide and administrator all rolled into one. You get personal service backed up with the professional expertise of our whole team. We’re the type of people who always want to know what’s around the next corner. We build relationships so we can anticipate and plan ahead for our clients, responding quickly when opportunities arise. Fund services: We help our clients compete in a highly competitive environment and never miss a deal. We use our collective experience of working with venture capitalists to advise, set up and administer Guernsey funds structures. The team at HFL constantly evolves and adapts to keep pace with fund managers; we combine flexibility and innovation with substance and compliance.

Choosing a workplace can be as much about the firm's culture as it is about the financial benefits. Two years ago, HFL made a commitment to focus heavily on its people & culture policies, and became the only Guernsey company to achieve BCorp - a certification to show that a company is meeting high standards of social and environmental performance. As part of our National Careers Week series, we delve into the importance of local businesses becoming more aware of their impact on the community. Our commitment to BCorp has seen HFL achieve net zero carbon emissions, as well as supporting our employees in carrying out local community initiatives.

Abbie Hewlett sat down with Bound to address the myths that VCs often make around outsourced fund administration. Abbie highlighted common assumptions VCs make and shared insights on overcoming these misconceptions. Take a read of the interview here https://lnkd.in/dC8ak839
Think outsourcing means losing control? Think again. Too many VCs hesitate to outsource fund administration because of outdated assumptions. But modern outsourcing isn’t about handing over the keys, it’s about freeing yourself from operational distractions and noise. At a recent Bound x HFL VC Breakfast event, Abbie Hewlett tackled the biggest myths head-on: ❌ Myth 1: Outsourcing means losing control. ❌ Myth 2: Outsourcing is all or nothing. ❌ Myth 3: It’s too expensive. ❌ Myth 4: AI will replace human expertise. ❌ Myth 5: Keeping everything in-house is safer. Check out the carousel to see the reality of outsourcing fund administration today (it’s pretty different from those myths)! And read our in-depth interview with Abbie here: https://lnkd.in/dC8ak839
