Boston Hedge Fund · $9B AUM · AI integration for reporting and oversight → 70% reduction in manual reporting effort, 60% faster delivery of allocator-ready insights
Client Profile
A Boston-based hedge fund managing $9 billion AUM, investing across equities, credit, and alternatives. The firm relied on manual, Excel-driven workflows for reporting and portfolio oversight, which created recurring bottlenecks and slowed allocator communications.
The Challenge
The firm’s investment and operations teams faced three recurring issues:
- Reporting was fragmented and required heavy manual work in Excel, delaying allocator packets.
