    Investment_Hub_Blog_img_v01

    Ultra-high-net-worth families and institutional asset owners typically have portfolios that span multiple asset classes, data sources and currencies, and these investments may be spread across various legal entities such as holding companies, operating companies, trusts and foundations. This complexity makes creating a single source of truth difficult and time-consuming. Not only does this impact operational efficiency, but it can also have consequences for decision making that could ultimately lead to unexpected losses.

    How a London-based multi-family office saved days each month on reporting with Landytech

    Discover how a London-based multi-family office upgraded from an Excel-based ledger system to Sesame, saving days each month on data consolidation and reporting that could be reallocated to business growth initiatives.

    With the previous system, staff were manually updating transactions and valuations across hundreds of accounts. This left little time for high-touch client interactions and business development and the intensive workload meant reporting only covered net worth and not profit and loss. 

    Now, the family office receives an automated feed of consolidated data from all associated banks and custodians, refreshed daily. Client reports can be produced at the click of a button and tailored on the fly, meaning the team can now focus on strengthening client relationships and expanding business development.

    The 5 must-have capabilities for managing the risk function in-house

    Risk management is a complex domain of expertise. Navigating today’s fast-paced and volatile markets with confidence and clarity takes a proven infrastructure, along with specialised risk and technology skillsets to deliver the timely insights needed to make investment decisions quickly and provide the high-quality reports allocators expect. 

    Right from inception, asset managers need a robust, institutional-grade risk management capability to attract investor allocations and meet clients’ ongoing demands. Without one, you likely won’t even make it through the due diligence process. But what does an in-house risk management and reporting function need to have in practice?

    How your family office should be sourcing wealth data

    How your family office should be sourcing wealth data

    As today’s UHNW become more geographically dispersed and family offices become more sophisticated in their investment functions and allocation strategies, portfolios now consist of multiple asset classes, custodians and currencies, and investments may be spread across various legal entities such as trusts, LLCs, foundations and personal accounts.  

    In this world of increasing complexity, family offices must grapple with vast quantities of disparate datasets to build a complete and accurate picture of overall wealth, portfolio performance, risk and exposure. For family offices to make informed investment decisions on such complex portfolios, timely, accurate and comprehensive reporting is critical. But creating this kind of rich, consolidated reporting can be a challenge when data is being sourced manually. It relies on family offices being able to source high-quality data, transform and store that data in a usable format, and enrich it with information from market and reference data vendors. 

    In an era where access to timely and accurate data is paramount, the inefficiencies and risks associated with manual data sourcing hinders the ability of family offices to make informed investment decisions and ensure wealth is preserved for future generations. Here we look at the sourcing options available to family offices and how they can build scalable data processes that will serve them long into the future.

    Building a data-driven future for trust administration

    Sesame-Data-Developer-Portal_img_03

    Data-driven digital solutions have become table stakes for trustees. They are no longer a far-off, future project to which firms should aspire. Clients’ digital service expectations are evolving now, and trustees need to deliver.  

    However, the way many trustees currently manage their data today is hindering their attempts at a full digital transformation. As the data environment gets more complex by the day, manual processes are no longer up to the task. 

    The ultimate objective is the complete automation of repetitive trust administration processes. But that takes expertise and a sophisticated technology backbone that is inextricably linked to data management. It leaves trustees with a choice. Undertake the investment and implement the capabilities in-house, or partner with a specialist third party. Either way, it’s a decision that can’t be delayed. 

    As trustees start their journey to a data-driven future, there are multiple complex data challenges they must overcome. Here’s how firms can go about solving them.

    The asset manager’s how-to guide to ESG reporting
    4 Jul 2022 ESG

    The asset manager’s how-to guide to ESG reporting

    There has been an explosion in the popularity of environmental, social, and governance funds in recent years. In light of this growth, fund managers have been increasingly keen to step up their commitment to ESG and its measurement.

    The rewards for those that get it right are high. An authentic ESG strategy that is evident through a firm’s products, their investment process and data-driven reporting is easy for existing investors to understand and attractive to prospects that value ESG highly.

    Asset managers must demonstrate that their fund disclosures and reporting approach meets parameters which are strictly linked to ESG reporting criteria. But reporting is not an easy landscape to navigate when it comes to ESG.

    The EU has started to implement the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), which sets out rules for classifying and reporting on sustainability and ESG factors in investments. But whilst regulators and industry bodies across the globe play catch up, there has been a distinct lack of guidance for asset managers compared to other more established investment reports.

    Despite this ambiguity, there are three principles ESG reports should adhere to: authenticity, substance and defendable data. Asset managers need to be transparent on the methodological approach followed in their investment strategy, implementation of governance and the reporting in place.

    Today, most asset managers have several options to demonstrate the transparency and accountability of their ESG funds. But how these are implemented for reporting depends on the ESG strategy in place, and the jurisdiction in which the asset manager is operating.

    Interest in ESG has increased exponentially in recent years and there has been no sign of slowing in 2022, so far. But it is not just inflows to ESG funds that has been increasing. As policymakers turn their attention to environmental, social, and governance concerns, there has been increased pressure for asset managers to provide more data and consistent reporting around ESG investments.

    Although a tightening of regulation is presenting asset managers with new data and reporting challenges that must be addressed, it is also creating new market opportunities. In particular, the opportunity to develop new fund vehicles that legitimately address environmental, social and governance concerns, and meet the demands of today’s ESG-conscious investors.

    So, what are the trends shaping the ESG agenda for asset managers?

    Intergenerational wealth transfer: How can multi-family offices futureproof their client base

    Intergenerational wealth transfer: How can multi-family offices futureproof their client base

    A considerable proportion of global wealth is owned by individuals who are close to or older than 60 years old – it’s been estimated that more than US$30 trillion will be transferred from one generation to the next over the next few decades.

    Most family office advisors have spent the majority of their careers providing investment and financial advice to affluent baby boomers. But an aging client base poses a considerable risk to the long-term viability of multi-family offices.

    Intergenerational wealth transfer is one of the main causes of client attrition, as clients pass, and beneficiaries take their assets elsewhere. If multi-family offices don’t develop relationships with their clients’ heirs, the chances of retaining assets are low.

    So, how can technology help multi-family offices to deepen relationships with future generations now to ensure their business is futureproofed for decades to come?

    6 things you need to build investment reports that clients love

    When it comes to reporting, many firms still rely on outdated technology and legacy systems. Combining data from multiple sources and offline spreadsheets is an inefficient process that takes far too long, is highly prone to manual errors, and limits reporting flexibility.

    It is no revelation that clients are increasingly savvy investors, and at a time of increasing market volatility and industry competition, expectations are soaring. Clients want on-demand, granular reporting, and legacy processes are straining under the pressure.

    Why investment reporting needs to change

    Many members of the investment management community, hesitant to act as early adopters, have resisted pressure to fully digitalise and automate reporting – so far. Firms often want to see that new technology has been implemented successfully at competitors before making the leap. However, across the investment management spectrum, the need for a radically different approach to investment reporting has never been greater.

    Increased competition and industry consolidation makes delivering – and proving – higher returns more important than ever, requiring advanced analytics and reporting. It’s also putting the squeeze on fees, pressuring firms to reduce the total cost of ownership for their IT tech stack and legacy systems. More efficient solutions need to be found if operational alpha is to be achieved.

    In this shifting landscape, implementing a data-driven, agile approach to investment reporting can help asset and wealth managers get back ahead of the game.
