The Proven Solution for Streamlining Operations

The Challenge

An investment firm with an institutional and HNW distribution focus offered one retail SMA product that required a separate accounting and trading system. Each new account required entries to multiple systems to accommodate billing, asset reporting, performance composites, and other firm-level integrations. Through acquisition, the firm gained additional products that were run from various locations on other operating systems. The resulting operational complexity to support multiple processes, systems, and locations taxed resources and distracted from the business of investment management.
