Asset owners, including those in pension plans, endowments, foundations, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds, should consolidate their external manager data requirements into a unified digital platform within the investment office, encompassing areas such as manager research, operational due diligence, ESG considerations, compliance, audit confirmations, and event-driven inquiries. This centralized platform is beneficial for both emerging managers and well-established funds, allowing for the management of standard due diligence questionnaires (DDQs), investment databases, and investor DDQs seamlessly. By fostering collaboration among investor relations, RFP, marketing, compliance, and product teams, organizations can significantly reduce errors and enhance service quality. Whether serving as an OCIO, investment consultant, wealth platform, or fund of funds, it's essential to construct a robust diligence framework that spans a diverse portfolio of fund products, enabling the effective delivery of unique investment options to clients on a large scale. Additionally, this approach not only streamlines operations but also ensures that all stakeholders are aligned in their strategic objectives.
