Brightpoint Group: A Tech-First Approach to Fund Administration

Meet Brightpoint Group

Brightpoint Group stands at the forefront of modern fund administration in Europe. 

With €7 billion in assets under management and administration across 100 fund vehicles, the Hamburg-headquartered firm delivers a full spectrum of services—from fund structuring and AFIM support to accounting, tax, and regulatory compliance.

With offices in Berlin, Luxembourg, and Hamburg, Brightpoint takes a clear stance: in a space as regulated and high-stakes as private markets, digital transformation is essential—but only when paired with deep operational expertise.

A Strategic Approach: Use the Best Tools, Focus on Core Strengths

Brightpoint has chosen a clear path: don’t build software—select best-in-class solutions that solve critical needs and integrate them into a cohesive operational stack.

We’re administrators, not developers,

says Benjamin Bellmann, Head of Business Development and Client Relationship Management.

Our value lies in expert execution. Building software would dilute that focus. Instead, we identify tools that work and make them part of our process.

This approach enables Brightpoint to remain flexible, responsive, and client-centric—without compromising on compliance or scalability.

Digitizing the LP Experience—Without Losing the Human Touch

One of Brightpoint’s most tangible transformations has been in investor onboarding.

Working with Vestlane, the firm has moved from error-prone, manual subscription processes to a fully digital and audit-ready flow—where LPs benefit from pre-filled data, guided steps, and a single secure hub.

Manual onboarding isn’t cheaper, faster, or easier,

Bellmann notes.

Many LPs already expect to use platforms like Vestlane. It cuts down on follow-ups, errors, and internal tracking—and gives our clients a smoother experience.

Crucially, this efficiency doesn’t replace Brightpoint’s high-touch service model. Fund managers still get a dedicated partner who understands every nuance of private market workflows—from capital calls to recycled capital tracking.

Preparing for What’s Next

Brightpoint isn’t standing still. 

The team is actively developing Deutsche Digitale Wertpapiere (DDW), a project focused on tokenization and the evolving role of digital securities. Whether through new asset classes, alternative fund structures, or regulatory change, the firm is positioning itself to support clients through the next phase of private market innovation.

For Brightpoint, success in fund administration means combining trusted service, forward-thinking strategy, and fit-for-purpose technology—while knowing where to focus and where to partner.
