The 2008 financial crisis placed the entire financial industry under enhanced scrutiny from politicians, regulators and investors, which resulted in the creation and enactment of new regulations by the authorities in various jurisdictions e.g. Dodd-Frank, FATCA, UCITS V, and AIFMD. Such initiatives have been considered by some market participants as a barrier to doing business and nothing more than an additional cost to be borne by investors, instead of achieving the aims they were created for.
Complying with these rules is an on-going challenge for Fund service providers including administrators, depositaries and transfer agents, who have seen asset managers demanding cost reductions for fund services in order to improve Fund performance, squeezing the profits of the service providers.
Join us as we discuss how Big Data is being captured, stored, analysed, deployed and reported by Luxembourg service providers to support evolving business needs in relation to product development and distribution and to help meet regulatory requirements.
Panellists;
The evening will be moderated by Antonio Thomas, Partner, ManagementPlus (Luxembourg) S.A.
The evolving regulatory agenda and the huge amount of data required to comply and enforce such demands has potential to be used in a variety of ways; not simply to enhance transparency but also to reduce investor risk through identifying and reporting investment profiles vs risk patterns in a clear and concise manner which investors can understand.
Following on from this, Fund Managers, in particular in the AIFMD space, are exploring the use of Big Data applications to identify distribution trends, support distribution strategies and help to target specific distribution channels to raise new AuM’s. Service Providers have for some time been increasing the Distribution Support tools they provide their customers and leveraging Big Data and Smart Data is another evolution in this space.
