The Challenge

Investment firms rely on multiple systems across portfolio management, risk analytics, compliance, and trading. However, fragmented data and siloed operations create inefficiencies, compliance risks, and hinder decision-making.

Key challenges include:

• Data Fragmentation – Investment data is scattered across PMS, OMS, risk platforms, and third-party sources, leading to inconsistencies and reconciliation delays.
• Integration Complexities – Combining data from multiple sources requires manual effort, increasing operational risk and slowing reporting.
• Inefficient Workflows – Manual data handling and reconciliation limit scalability and increase error rates.
• Data Quality Issues – Poor governance and lack of standardization reduce reporting accuracy and decision confidence.
• Scalability Challenges – Legacy systems struggle to handle growing data volumes and complex investment strategies, limiting agility.

Recent Industry Insights

• Operational Resilience – EY’s 2025 Global Wealth and Asset Management Outlook highlights that firms are prioritizing integrated, scalable data systems to improve risk management and operational agility.
• Technology Integration – McKinsey’s 2025 report emphasizes the need for financial institutions to modernize fragmented data systems to enhance decision-making and efficiency.
• Data Governance Challenges – Deloitte’s 2024 Investment Management Outlook highlights that 67% of asset managers struggle with fragmented data and reporting inconsistencies, increasing compliance and operational risks.

These findings reinforce the urgency for investment firms to establish a unified, scalable data infrastructure to drive better investment outcomes and regulatory compliance.
