Fund manager screening and performance tracking for Institutional Investors

Institutional Investors

Institutional investors (pension funds, endowments, foundations, family offices, etc.) have historically relied on a combination of tools (Outlook, Excel, Word documents stored on a file server, etc.) to screen fund managers and monitor the performance of their alternative investment programs. Because valuable data is trapped in these silos, locating information can be difficult. And without a unified view of their operations, making sound investment decisions can take more time and effort. Now, institutional investors that are limited partners in alternative asset funds have a powerful alternative to meet their due diligence needs.
