South African investment administrator, Curo Fund Services has altered the pricing of its investments layers within its multi-managed portfolio for its client Old Mutual Multi-Managers.

Using pControl Curo has delivered flexible administration services across processes including ner-asset-value unit pricing, cash allocation and rebalancing, unitilised order management and distribution.

Paul Roberts, managing director EMEA of Milestone Group, said: “Competitive market conditions across South Africa have driven an increased focus on integrity and transparency, which has triggered firms and their service providers to look for automated solutions.”

pControl is a first in the South African market, according to Hank Pienaar, managing director of Curo.

“pControl removes manual processes, which enables Curo to support the likes of Old Mutual Multi-Managers in offering complex investment structures while at the same time providing greater visibility across the business”.

“This deployment is a significant step in dealing with one of the key challenges typically faced by multi-managers,” he added.

Old Mutual Multi-Managers clients include large retirement funds, which have direct access to its product portfolio.

Russel Julie, chief operating officer of Old Mutual Multi-Managers said: “ [pControl] further speeds up the overall process in producing an output with the required level of integrity at first pass. ”
