Innovative technology is all around us, and hedge funds might well question its value as a differentiator in today’s highly competitive market. But that does not mean there is nothing to be gained from keeping pace with change – to the contrary, rather than relying on new developments to make themselves stand out from the crowd, funds could instead use them to develop and refine their infrastructure, thereby adding real value to the investment process.
In this white paper, Gordon Russell, Global Head of Risk at Broadridge Investment Management Solutions argues that the chances of survival in this new environment will be greater for funds that implement solutions to efficiently and cost-effectively manage data and risk. Aggregating and centralizing disparate sets of data, for example, can result in greater transparency, giving users more control. And firms that integrate their technology systems can minimize operational risk and reduce costs.
Successful participants in this evolving market will not be those that invest in technology for technology's sake, they will be those that are able to keep pace with change, and to identify ways to make that change work for them.
