Accurate, up-to-date daily investment data is the foundation of any investment manager or asset owner’s operations. However, reconciling that data across multiple sources, such as custodians, administrators, and internal trading systems, can be a difficult and time-consuming task. Investment managers may often find discrepancies between what their internal systems are showing versus the custodial view of their data, creating uncertainty and potential risks heading into the trading day.
This lack of a consolidated, reconciled view of investment data can have serious implications. Making trading decisions or meeting client obligations based on incomplete or outdated information can lead to costly errors and reputational damage. Investment managers are left asking themselves: “Do I truly have the most accurate picture of my current holdings and cash positions? What if something has been missed or there are timing issues that I’m not aware of?”
A well-designed reconciliation solution addresses these challenges head-on, providing investment managers with a complete, auditable view of their current investment positions and cash balances.
