Alternative investments represent one of the fastest-growing asset classes. While progress supporting alternative investments continues, this asset class is significantly more challenging to support than public equity/fixed income investments. Challenges include the prevalence of unstructured data, a scarcity of industry standards, the fragmentation of applications, and a lack of transparency into underlying investments.

In this CutterCast, we share key findings and takeaways from our Benchmarking 2024 Alternative Investments survey. We discuss how firms manage the processes along with the front, middle, and back offices. We also discuss data management, reporting, and the technology firms use to support alternative investments.
