About Custom House

The Custom House Group of Companies ("Custom House") was originally established in Ireland in 1989. In September 2008, the fund services business of Equity Trust was merged into Custom House and reorganised under Custom House Global Fund Services Ltd. ("CHGFS"), the Maltese based parent holding company for the Custom House Group of companies, which is also authorised as a Custodian for Fund of Hedge Funds and recognised as a hedge fund administrator by the Malta Financial Services Authority ("MFSA"). Equity Trust have since merged with TMF, thus making Custom House a member of the TMF Group.

"We have always felt we have been given great support blended with resourcefulness, attention to detail and a dedication amongst the Custom House staff to offer a first class service."
