But as the amount of information continues to rapidly increase, firms require robust systems to manage and process that data in an efficient manner. In many cases, however, firms are leveraging the expertise of more than one market data vendor to provide real-time information.
Bloomberg is, not surprisingly, also the leading market analytics tool provider, according to our survey results. One essential back-end system for buy-side firms is their portfolio accounting systems, which provide functionalities including multi-currency support, real-time profit and loss reporting, and general ledger and NAV calculation.
Additionally, some firms continue to use in-house and proprietary solutions to meet their needs. In a industry hit hard by the Madoff fraud and the economic crisis, investors are demanding nothing less than complete transparency.
Firms are expected to invest in risk controls and compliance tools to ensure the safety and security of investments on a day-to-day basis.
Some firms provided multiple answers. Marketing and capital-raising are top priorities for firms, and a tool that can really benefit managers as they go through these processes is an investor relationship management tool IRM or CRM. With an IRM system, firms can manage relationships and track correspondence with investors from day one. Historically, IRM tools have also required a considerable amount of system integration, which may have contributed to their slow adoption.
We do anticipate, however, that firms will begin to adopt IRM packages as these systems shift to software-as-a-service models SaaS , which lowers costs and eliminates the need for invasive system integration. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act has brought the need for email, instant messaging and information archiving into the spotlight for registered investment firms.
