Repair Data Chaos. End the Reconciliation Cycle

Are you sourcing conflicting data from several places, or spending hours each month reconciling disparate data to arrive at the truth?

Are you relying on technology to process data to support critical thinking, or considering AI but concerned your input data is too inconsistent to rely upon?

Get it Right at the Outset

Quality, accurate data underpins every critical function from investment decisions, and performance measurement, to client reporting, risk and compliance management, and regulatory filings.  When data diverges across systems, multiple versions of the truth emerge. A single transaction recorded separately in investment, custody, performance, and accounting books can create four interpretations – and a recurring reconciliation process to determine what is actually correct. 

The adage: Garbage in, Garbage out (GIGO) has never been so relevant.  In investment management, your competitive edge lives in your data but only if it is trusted, accessible and governed. As investment strategies grow more complex and data sources multiply, many firms find themselves trapped in a cycle of reconciliation, delayed reporting, and missed opportunities. Others make wild assumptions the data is complete, correct and verified and input it into their systems and process. Artificial Intelligence can only compound the issue.   If your assumptions prove to be wrong, the results are unusable (you just may not know that) or worse, non-compliant. 

The impact is significant:

  • Critical reports delayed because data “doesn’t match” across systems
  • Portfolio managers, risk teams, and compliance working from different versions of the truth
  • Teams spend more time firefighting data quality issues than analysing alpha opportunities
  • Undertaking what has become a routine month-end reconciliation process to clean inconsistent data
  • Manual processes that break as AUM and complexity scale
  • Decisions made on stale data while markets move in real-time
  • Failed AI roll-out as input data is flawed

Every hour spent reconciling data is an hour not spent on taken away from what really matters: generating returns, serving clients, or addressing a myriad of other operational matters. Every delayed report/process is a missed market window, a frustrated client, or an invitation to regulatory scrutiny. Every data error erodes stakeholder confidence. Why not take a beat to clean, order, augment and optimise the data before it is erroneously processed and relied upon? 

Getting it right at the outset is not optional. It is foundational.
