The situation
Investments were run on a mix of Sophis and in-house tools, while new systems for analytics, private equity and accounting were arriving at the same time.
What I did
- Acted as subject-matter lead for integrating brokers, custodians and market data with FactSet, Cobalt and Prospero.
- Wrote the requirements for a whole-portfolio returns engine (Modified Dietz) covering equities, fixed income, FX, derivatives, cash, hedge funds and private equity.
- Built the target operating model: process maps, responsibilities and data flows into an operational data warehouse that feeds reporting.
