ASSET MANAGERS

Asset Managers

Today, asset managers, whether traditional long-only or alternative asset managers, face numerous data-related challenges and ever increasing reporting requirements from internal constituents such as the investment team, middle and back office as well as external constituents such as the regulators and investors.

Fundamentally, most asset managers suffer from inadequate infrastructure, a lack of proper processes, piecemeal software systems and over reliance on manual and spreadsheet-driven reporting.
