Overcome Data Challenges with IVP Middle Office Services

It is imperative for investment managers to work with large amounts of data, including high trade volumes, security and reference data mappings, and tagging, and to utilize this data for internal and external consumption. 

It is essential that this data is managed efficiently, and timely and is available to the stakeholders when requested without much manual intervention. 

IVP Middle Office Services helps investment managers to streamline these critical processes, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.

Key challenges in the middle office

Investment advisors face several critical issues when it comes to the middle office:

•     Trade reconciliation: Reconciliation of the extensive data brokers provide can be cumbersome and prone to errors.

•     Data retrieval: Extracting and integrating data from multiple third-party providers across various asset classes can lead to inconsistencies and delays.
