Alternative Investments
Alternative investments represent one of the fastest-growing asset classes, and investment managers are increasingly looking to real estate, private equity, funds of funds, and limited partnerships to boost their returns. But supporting these diverse and complex asset classes is significantly more challenging than with traditional investments – compounded by the limitations of outdated technology and operational inefficiencies.
Risk Management
Alternative investments can create increasingly complex administration and investment portfolio risks. We help you identify and develop a solution to facilitate better investment decisions, mitigate operational risks, and support investment risk management.
Data Management
Alternatives need intricate data management due to unstructured data, lack of standardization and transparency, and significant latencies. We assess your data requirements, and determine the processes and technology that will best meet your needs.
Systems and Processes Assessment
Cumbersome and inefficient investment systems and processes create roadblocks. We assess your current workflows and present operating models and solutions to help you process alternative investments – from deal capture to financial reporting.
Vendor Evaluation and Implementation
We create RFPs and review, evaluate, and identify the best vendor solutions to meet your needs. We then design your implementation road map, including process workflows and requirements, estimated costs, and anticipated time and resources.
