Private Equity: Transforming Data Into Intelligence
With the equities market reaching record highs and high-frequency trading dominating the headlines, the private equity sector has been somewhat forgotten. But PE is seeing strong signs of growth, including rising fundraising and exits, reports Jonathan Broch, head of pre-sales and product strategy for SunGard's Investran. As a result, he adds, it's increasingly critical for firms to leverage technology to differentiate their investment approach and client relationships by improving communication, information sharing, and business intelligence. Broch and TABB Group founder and CEO Larry Tabb discuss the pressure on fund managers from investors and regulators looking for more transparency and the opportunity to leverage these capabilities to make better investment decisions.
