    We need to achieve a clear and consistent view of our investments and KPIs

    With private markets being known for their intransparency there is an integral need for a digital solution simplifying complex data structures and enabling transparency in exposure, single risk with a look-through and allocation.

    We need to fulfill regulatory reporting requirements and access reports in a timely manner

    Many fund managers delivering only the minimum required reporting and being unable to answer customised requests, is causing substantial amount of time being spent by LPs to put together regular reports fulfilling regulatory and stakeholder requirements. Investors need to find a way to enhance existing internal resources whilst delivering on increasing reporting demands.

    Increasing public scrutiny, for example in regard to ESG, pressures institutional investors to find solutions to simplify the collection, validation and analysis of data, ensuring minimum effort and relevant results.
