Up Close
For fund administrators, the integrity of the capital lifecycle decides how confidently leadership can make the next allocation. The way fund administrators run their own numbers says a lot about how steadily they can scale assets under management. Most teams in Fund Administrators know the feeling: plenty of activity, but no single reference line for where the capital actually sits. Expectations in Fund Administrators have shifted, and the systems teams rely on to track capital have to keep up.
The Gap
For a Head of Investment Strategy, custodian feeds reconciled in spreadsheets is more than an annoyance — it is a daily drain on time that should go into the portfolio. When custodian feeds reconciled in spreadsheets sets in, decisions get made on stale data and the quarter-end close drags. Left unaddressed, custodian feeds reconciled in spreadsheets compounds: figures drift, breaks pile up, and confidence in the numbers erodes.
