Investment Management Platforms
In my 25+ years of experience with a multitude of back office systems and platforms, I have learned they all perform the same exact functions, just in a slightly different way. It is impossible to have worked with every investment management accounting, trading, billing, reconciliation, and performance platform on the market. However, having the years of experience in knowing how these systems work, what to look for and what questions to ask, is ultimately the key in the successful utilization of any system.
These are some of the investment management back office service providers I have worked with directly:
