Fidostra

Fidostra is an independent provider of trust, agency and transaction administration services for institutional financing and capital markets transactions. With operational centres in Frankfurt and London, Fidostra supports banks, debt funds, asset managers, sponsors, corporates and other institutional market participants in the execution and ongoing administration of complex financing structures.

Fidostra acts as an independent layer of administration, coordination and control between the parties to a transaction. Its work focuses on the precise implementation of contractually defined processes, clear and reliable communication, and structured administration throughout the entire transaction lifecycle – from closing and ongoing administration to amendments, refinancings or maturity.

Its services include Loan Agency, Security Trustee Services, Transaction Administration and selected agency and trustee roles in structured finance and capital markets transactions. Fidostra accepts appointments in new transactions as well as successor and transition mandates, including the coordinated operational transfer of existing structures.

As an independent service provider, Fidostra does not provide financing and does not act as an arranger. It can therefore act as a neutral, execution-focused party alongside existing banks, financing partners, advisers and transaction platforms without adding complexity.
