Merlin’s latest white paper shows how hedge fund managers can chart their current levels of automation and buy, build or outsource to achieve automated solutions.
The Importance of Business Process Maturity and Automation in Running a Hedge Fund - Know Your Score and Get to the “Sweet Spot”
Over the past two years, Merlin has published several white papers that are designed to highlight and help managers implement industry best practices – from shoring up their business model to identifying their target investors based on the development stage of their fund.
In continuing with this theme, our latest white paper discusses the importance of business process automation within an asset management firm at all stages of development and how these organizations can measure their current processes versus investor expectations.
It is critical that business process maturity and automation evolve over the life of a fund in a disciplined and forward-looking manner as they are key components to maintaining a scalable business. As a firm grows, processes that are maintained manually or with home-grown spreadsheets will stress and may break, adding business risk and overhead to a firm’s operations. This concept is especially important for fund managers because they cannot afford distractions and errors caused by broken or manual processes that affect the viability of the fund.
