7 BENEFITS OF A MOBILE FUND MANAGER

The digital revolution is quietly transforming what today’s fund manager looks like. The days of being tied down to your desk to track investments and research and handle investor inquiries are disappearing. They are being replaced by a mobile, connected, empowered fund manager that can carry the most important aspects of their business in the palm of their hands.  Through mobile devices, you can be more connected — to your investment team, counterparties, and potential and existing investors. Dynamic hedge funds are leveraging this connectivity to create a more nimble, pro-active and ultra-effective business.  But, how are these fund managers benefitting from a true mobile experience?

Here’s how a mobile-manager can be smarter than their deskbound competition:

1. Raise more assets

Let’s start with the most important advantage of a mobile hedge fund manager: the ability to dedicate more time to raising assets and less time on admin functions. 

Winning allocations from institutional investors comes down to having access to the information that matters most to your potential investors. That’s where a Hedge Fund Operating System comes into play—having the fund’s historical and real-time information readily available demonstrates you have the controls in place to manage larger, more complex allocations.

This efficiency frees you to spend more time proactively discussing the information that matters—methodology, performance, and track record.

2. Stay connected… Everywhere

A mobile fund manager is able to access all the important and relevant information you may need for a meeting, right in the moment. If you are looking for yearly returns or a refresher on your most recent transactions, a hedge fund operating system will give you access– whether on-site or at a golf course.

And if questions posed by your investor(s) change in route to your destination, you’re covered– you never have to worry about having the right print out in advance again. It’s like having your investment team always with you, ready to brief you on all the information you need to know.

In a recent study, over 87 of 100 hedge fund managers indicated they were using the cloud in some shape or form today. With the right cloud-capabilities, fund managers would have a competitive edge over their peers due to the speed at which they could actively track investments while responding to investor needs, all from any mobile device.  

By placing the fund’s profile at your fingertips, including performance, Shadow NAV and risk statistics, an operating system can help you quickly respond to investor inquiries, provide these same clients with an investor-portal for immediate access to more detailed information about their investments, and allow you to present an actionable pitch book from an iPad, backed by profound datal
