Our History
 

With 10 offices in nine countries on four continents, LaCrosse Global Fund Services has 20 years of experience servicing alternative investment portfolios in developed and emerging markets. We offer customized services that enable fund managers to save time, cut costs, improve reporting and enhance investor confidence, which allows them to focus on the markets and on financial performance. Our services cover everything “after the trade,” including facilitation of prime broker communications, trade confirmation and confirm review, settlement of non-prime broker transactions, reconciliations, cash and collateral management, distressed debt operations, derivatives operations, valuation, profit & loss/net asset value estimation, and fund administration.

LaCrosse Global Fund Services was formerly the operations, administration and technology arm of Cargill Global Capital Markets, which had 20 years of trading and investment experience in global financial markets. In 2003, Cargill Global Capital Markets became Black River Asset Management, a global asset management company and independently managed subsidiary of Cargill.

In January 2007, LaCrosse Global Fund Services launched as a spinout of the middle- and back-office operations that had supported Black River Asset Management and, prior to that, Cargill’s proprietary capital markets trading activities.

Today, LaCrosse Global Fund Services is an independently managed subsidiary of Cargill, an international provider of food, agricultural and risk management products and services. We support funds managed by Black River Asset Management and by third-party institutions that require proficiency in global equities, fixed income, commodities, currencies, emerging markets and related derivatives.

LaCrosse Global Fund Services has more than 300 employees worldwide. Our 10 global offices are located in Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Caracas, Istanbul, London, Minneapolis, Moscow, New York, São Paulo and Singapore.

Current assets under administration and supported operationally are in excess of USD$15 billion, encompassing strategies traded by global portfolio managers who cover fixed income securities, interest rates, credit, foreign exchange, equities, commodities and related derivatives.
