Data Management for Buy-Side Investors

Buy-side asset managers are exposed to and have copious amounts of data on every conceivable aspect of their investment operations.

With incredible volumes of data, investors must address key issues:

• The necessity of aggregated data with a single source of truth
• Cloud-implementation and the desire for agile, adjustable, and scalable data platforms
• Ever-changing regulatory landscapes and concerns around futureproofing and lowered TCO
• The shift from a traditional build model to a model where firms buy and build on top

Over the past decade, there have been many developments in the practices and debates around data platforms and managed service solutions. Given the sheer volume of data and the effort required to cull and curate it – as well as how central data is to supporting core business operations – more companies are turning to modern financial data platforms and managed services providers to optimize how they manage their data and operations.
