The Problem & The Solution

Investment Analytics Designed for CIO-Level Oversight

Analytics Challenges for CIOs Overseeing Alternative Investments

CIOs need the right information at the right time — not manual reports compiled by analysts the day before every investment committee.

  • Investment committees require comprehensive, consistent analysis that takes days to compile manually from multiple analytical systems
  • CIOs need real-time awareness of risk, drawdown and peer benchmarking status — not monthly point-in-time snapshots
  • Performance attribution across multiple hedge fund managers requires systematic methodology that ad hoc analysis cannot provide consistently
  • Governance documentation for trustees and regulators demands systematic, auditable processes that relying on individual analysts cannot guarantee
  • Monitoring whether individual managers are performing within expected parameters requires automated alerting most platforms lack
