Investment managers often undertake unnecessary operational risks and overhead costs throughout the reconciliation process due to outdated or inefficient workflows, erroneous or incomplete data, manual and redundant effort, and delayed exception resolution. The problem further intensifies as complexity and trading volumes increase, leaving firms burdened with overwhelmed staff and an inability to scale the business while managing investor and front-office demands.
Control for investment management helps buy-side firms and service providers reduce risk and gain operational efficiencies across reconciliation, exception management, and the entire post-trade process.
Designed specifically for the buy-side asset management industry, Control provides an extensive data catalogue, intelligent fuzzy matching, and patented, intelligent workflow and integration to give investment managers exceptional power to identify potential fails, resolve exceptions, and alleviate your team’s workload so you can focus more time and resources on value-added activities.
Control addresses the problem of siloed investigations by intelligently integrating relevant data across departments; from the core reconciliation team to accounting, finance, corporate actions, collateral, settlements, securities lending and treasury/cash management. It provides the transparency, speed and collaboration the middle and back-offices need to quickly prepare for and adapt to expansions or shifts in front-office trading and investment strategies, asset classes, counterparties, trading volumes, and the ever-changing regulatory landscape.
Eliminate settlement risk and errors by connecting investment managers, custodians, prime brokers, clients and other participants, and consolidating all post-trade processing on a single platform.
