Today’s Top Alternative Investment Data Challenges

Collecting quarterly data from every fund is time-consuming, expensive, difficult, and often leads to long delays in quarterly reporting.

Aggregating and consolidating data is challenging when every GP uses a different template format.

Quarterly reports do not contain the necessary level of data granularity and consistency.

There is insufficient time for high value-added tasks because so much time is required for data collection and aggregation.

Low-quality alternative investment data drastically limit the reliability and level of analysis that can be performed.

eFront Data Intelligence employs technology to reduce the risk of errors coming from manual data correction and updates. Leverage EDI’s proven processes to handle your alternative investment data collection, transformation, and validation.

With data and KPIs drilling down to the manager, fund, and underlying asset level across all alternative asset classes, EDI provides access to a uniquely comprehensive set of data, making it easy to perform complex analyses such as customized exposure analysis to currency, country, industry, etc.

Because eFront Data Intelligence takes on the burden of the entire data collection and validation processes, limited partners are left with significantly more time and resources to dedicate to high value-added tasks.
