The Power of Automation in Private Markets

Private markets and alternative investing involve managing large volumes of unstructured data from documents with varying formats, including capital notices, capital account statements, schedules of investments, quarterly reports, loan agent notices, financial statements, and Confidential Information Memorandums (CIMs). Each of these contains critical data that must be processed quickly. If your operations team is manually handling these documents, they could be spending thousands of hours each year on data entry, validation, reconciliation, and tracking. These manual workflows not only consume valuable time but also introduce additional risks to your firm. The faster incoming documents are processed, the sooner they can trigger downstream workflows and keep your portfolio updated. AI-powered software automates this process, expediting data handling. Implementing software that automates your private markets workflows on a single platform will transform your firm’s data operations.

How automation can impact workflows across your firm

Automating document ingestion and data processing for your private markets workflows will save your team valuable time spent on manual data entry. What other impacts will it have on your firm?

• Increased Capacity: Your team can take on more tasks and manage more investments, better positioning your firm to scale.
• Better Data Delivered to Your Team: Capture more detailed and richer data that is automatically verified and reformatted to match your downstream systems, in less time than your current workflow. Data integrations with your investment platforms, such as Addepar, SimCorp or , mean your data is immediately available where you need it.
• Faster Response to Changing Markets with Real-Time Data: Without a manual processing backlog and with data automatically populated in your systems, your front office teams will have faster access to timely portfolio data, allowing them to stay on top of changes and react quickly.
• Increased Accuracy and Reduced Risk: Automated platforms with built-in validation checks throughout your data workflows ensure your data adds up, both mathematically and logically, reducing human error. Any missing data points can be flagged for review so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Greater Transparency: With an automated platform managing your process instead of manually inputted spreadsheets or disconnected systems, you can ensure your data is 100% traceable and auditable. Each data point can be traced back to its source in full detail, with a complete account of how it was processed.
