Assessment and Strategy

The Problem:

An institutional investment manager’s assets under management increased from $4 billion to over $20 billion in a short time period. This rapid growth strained the firm’s key business operations, systems, client management and other areas, causing them to fail to meet expectations. Senior management was seeking to build a scalable and efficient business process to allow it to effectively handle continued growth and to provide flexibility to manage risk while meeting expanded client expectations.

What We Did:

To meet the goals of the client’s senior management, Adeptyx consultants assessed key business processes including:

• Internal and external reporting
• Finance
• Contact and client management
• Separate account restriction management
• Portfolio management
• Trading
• Document management
• AIMR composite maintenance
• Compliance and legal

Following the assessments, our consultants helped redesign business processes. We worked with the client to develop an operational and system strategy to support long-term growth and efficiency. The effort included the development of a data management strategy to improve quality of data and timeliness and comprehensiveness of client and management reporting.

The Results:

As a result of this assessment, the client was better positioned to handle future growth and was able to provide information to their clients in a more efficient manner.
