Asset & Fund Mgmt

Recent legal and regulatory changes in Europe have made it possible to offer derivative products in funds to a broader investment sphere. Within the industry, a focus in liability driven investment and a focus to split beta and alpha investments have dramatically increased the focus on and demand for derivatives. Today the major obstacles for many investment managers are the technical solutions and the general knowledge in many areas and departments.

Crescore has extensive knowledge about most systems used in the market today from vendors such as SimCorp, Trema, and Wall Street Systems. We have implemented complete new systems for back office, front office, shareholder services, and performance. We also implemented new modules and releases and focused on implementation of new processes within an existing system.

Since derivatives normally require a great deal of manual handling and high operational risk, it is necessary to be extra careful when setting routines and to be diligent about the general knowledge in all departments. Crescore has experience identifying the gaps in different departments and in setting up simple and necessary procedures for this often very manual process.

Together this gives us a unique standpoint to assist asset managers with an ambition to expand their derivative focus and invest in structured products. We can analyse the capabilities in the existing systems and processes and help set up new modules within or linked to existing systems.
