The Problem & The Solution

Alternatives Management for Pension Funds — What the Platform Must Do

Alternative Investment Challenges Unique to Pension Funds

Pension funds face a distinct combination of analytical, governance and regulatory demands that generic investment software cannot address.

  • Trustee governance requirements for alternatives are more demanding than for traditional assets — documented processes are non-negotiable
  • Managing alternative investment allocations alongside traditional assets in one consistent analytical framework is technically difficult
  • Due diligence on hedge fund and private equity managers requires specialist capabilities many in-house pension teams lack
  • Regulatory requirements (AIFMD, IORP II, Solvency II) demand sophisticated data extraction and structured reporting
  • Communicating complex alternatives performance to non-specialist trustees requires clear, accessible reporting that most analytics platforms cannot produce

How AlternativeSoft Serves Pension Funds

Systematic governance, institutional-grade analytics and automated trustee reporting — built specifically for the way pension fund investment teams operate.

  • Systematic, documented manager selection with full governance audit trail for trustee board review
  • AI-powered due diligence that enables small pension fund teams to conduct institutional-quality ODD
  • Integrated risk monitoring across traditional and alternative investments from one platform
  • Automated trustee and investment committee reporting — clear, professional, accessible for non-specialist trustees
  • Full regulatory reporting data extraction for AIFMD, IORP II and other framework requirements
