Phoenix American has combined the most advanced systems and efficient back-office processes in alternative investments since its origins as a fund sponsor in 1972. Phoenix American's industry leading STAR-XMS investor management / transfer agent system and its integrated fund accounting capabilities are the result of the company's direct experience as a fund sponsor as well as decades of experience as an administrator for alternative investment funds.

"For their first US-based fund, Clear Sky could not have chosen a partner more committed to connecting them to the alternatives industry and giving their investors unparalleled service."
