For fund managers, macroeconomic pressures are no longer the sole challenge to fund raising. Inadequate data quality has emerged as a significant barrier to both capital raising and effective portfolio management.
The ability to utilise reliable, high-quality data is becoming ever more critical for building investor confidence and maintaining a competitive advantage.
These are among the findings of the ‘Data at a crossroads’ report published by Funds Global Intelligence, in association with Vistra Fund Solutions. The report highlights that unreliable data can hinder strategic initiatives, limit fundraising activities, and erode trust among stakeholders.
Nonetheless, improvements in transparency – driven by the evolution of third-party platforms – offer hope for a more resilient and efficient market.
While ‘megafunds’ continue to wield considerable influence within the sector, smaller managers are proving their resilience by streamlining operations and adopting robust data practices to stay competitive.
