Maples Fund Services has expanded its middle office capabilities with the launch of consolidated reporting for institutional investors. This expansion will enhance the ability of investment teams to actively monitor and manage the sophisticated investment strategies needed to achieve superior risk-return ratios.
The consolidated reporting offering builds on Maples Fund Services' leading middle office solutions, and is tailored by teams of industry experts and information technology professionals to meet each institutional investor's specific requirements. Proprietary technology developed by Maples Fund Services aggregates data across all assets, renders consolidated information on an online dashboard, and produces customized analytical reports.
“There is a gap in the way solution providers typically address the information requirements of the increasingly sophisticated strategies employed by institutional investors today," Scott Somerville, chief executive officer of MaplesFS, said. “A one-size-fits-all approach of retrofitting needs into a pre-defined solution often results in unnecessary complexity. A collaborative approach to understanding the nuances of each investor’s strategy is the key to providing truly useful reporting.”
By focusing on the most important and relevant information, Maples Fund Services’ bespoke dashboards and reporting packages can help portfolio decision makers to quickly identify trends and anomalies. By making data easy to interpret at multiple levels of abstraction, these tools enable investment teams to drill-down into underlying data to investigate causal factors and better explain portfolio performance.
"Enriching the insight that institutional investors have across all of their assets is a logical extension of the heightened portfolio transparency and other value-added analysis that we have been providing in the area of managed accounts,” Tyler Kim, chief information officer of Maples Fund Services, said. “We continue to be excited about opportunities like this that allow us to apply our industry expertise and technology solutions to directly enhance the ability of pension funds, endowments, foundations and family-offices to better serve their beneficiaries.”
