Fund Administration

Challenges within the PE ecosystem are prompting more GPs to explore outsourced and co-sourced solutions for fund administration, argue William Andreoni, Louis Crasto and Michael Carrillo of RSM US.

A clearinghouse approach to investment data can reduce data friction and lead to new and more insightful reporting, writes Chris Sparenberg, head of iLEVEL, S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Managers will need to take a serious look at how they integrate digital solutions into their operations to attract LPs in an increasingly complex fund environment, says Ferhat Ansari at FIS.

Technology is critical to the creation of sustainable and scalable operating models, says Alter Domus chief operating officer Michael Janiszewski.

GPs may appreciate the value of outsourcing, but they want service options that are as integrated with their own operations as possible.

Private equity firms are increasingly turning to tech solutions to support everything from investor onboarding to portfolio management, says Tim Toska, global head of private equity at Alter Domus.

Having a sophisticated data transformation strategy in place can help GPs execute timely data-driven decisions to better support the generation of alpha and enhance the client experience, says Jared Hoffman at Citco Fund Services.
