2015 represents a foundational year for the data programme. Whilst the technology challenge is significant, key focus is placed on the data governance process and the establishment of a Data Office. This function is driving a unified view of data based upon current needs, existing platforms and future requirements.
The governance approach divides the data universe into key data domains, those targeted in 2015 are listed below:
- Product - this is the holistic view of all offerings in the AM space, this includes funds, funds of funds, REITs and extends to advisory arrangements and consulting fees.
- Client - client (party) data is necessary to enable accurate reporting and administration, as well as enable cross-selling for the firm
- Securities - both listed and OTC security data across the traditional, hedge fund and alternative universes. This will be done, where possible, in partnership with the group wide GDS group.
- Benchmark - indexes, custom benchmarks and associated constituents (linked to Securities). This seeks a unified demand from the business and the drive to create a hybrid mastering solution leveraging best of breed providers and in-house value add
- AuM - as a tactical solution, leading to greater understanding of the domain, and enable key sales data to be gathered, this is preceded by a short term, pragmatic data gathering and distribution exercise which in turn leads to more formal governance of the data in domains such as Accounts, and Transactions & Holdings.
