South African financial services group selects AQMetrics for automated regulatory compliance

A South-African headquartered asset manager managing in excess of $8bn for clients world-wide. Clients include various large institutions and retail clients from South Africa, United Kingdom and other jurisdictions. They offer institutional and third-party fund solutions and fund hosting capabilities, along with a wide range of funds for both institutional and retail investors in a range of international markets.

Before using AQMetrics

Due to the volume of in-scope funds and cross-regulatory requirements, this firm required an automated reporting solution for current and emerging regulations. The solution had to meet regulatory reporting requirements without requiring manual intervention or significant operational overhead. The firm was embarking on a journey of digital transformation and was seeking a partnership with a third party technology provider. Prior to partnering with AQMetrics, the firm was fulfilling regulatory reporting requirements internally through a human-intensive manual process.

Key Requirements

• Fully automated regulatory reporting, across multiple reporting regimes.
• Avail of a market leading platform that could support existing, and importantly, emerging regulations.
• Maximise the value of existing data sources, to serve multiple compliance requirements.

After using AQMetrics

AQMetrics provided the Customer with a cloud based,  on-demand, automated service for AIFMD regulatory reporting. AQMetrics automated the data loading, directly from the fund administrator. AQMetrics replaced all manual processes with a platform approach, underpinned by workflow, controls and auditable oversight.  

We rely on accurate and timely information on which to gain insights and base complex decisions that affect our company. AQMetrics provided effective, innovative ways for us to improve our regulatory reporting.
