Gathering and cleaning data for hundreds of portfolios, while calculating meaningful analytics, presents significant technological challenges. Moreover, staying focused on what truly matters adds even more complexity. That's why we believe the solution lies in an exception-based platform that automates repetitive tasks, enabling you to streamline processes and concentrate on high-impact insights.

After months of development and valuable iterations driven by customer feedback, we’re thrilled to announce Workflow, our solution to streamline daily operations and simplify complex tasks.

The latest update integrates powerful AI capabilities to enhance oversight, alongside a suite of intuitive interface improvements that streamline navigation and deliver data-driven insights.

 

 

Next Gate Tech Workflow Solution

On a single page, we have centralised all the relevant information you need to manage your daily tasks. You’ll find a concise summary of: 1. What our system has processed, and 2. What our system has detected. This page is designed to help you quickly understand what’s new and requires your attention, minimising the effort needed to stay informed.

 

A Proprietary Library of Signals

To create the optimal workflow that meets your needs, you have access to a suite of unique and independent analytics that provide additional insights into the data our system has collected and harmonised. Our proprietary catalogue of analytics covers a wide range of purposes: gain portfolio insights through components such as Contribution, Independent Price Valuation, and Sub-Fund Evolution; obtain share class insights with Fees Analytics and Share Class FX & Hedging; and explore ESG insights with ESG Scoring and ESG SFDR, among others.

 

 

A System That Provides Context

We have designed our workflow solution to serve as the central hub for all your daily processes. Our system is built to ingest, harmonise, and comprehend your data, seamlessly integrating the workflow. It is developed to trigger the appropriate actions with the right level of information for you. You have access to a system that detects and identifies underlying patterns, making connections between different scenarios—such as highlighting stressed market conditions or flagging repetitive and error-prone activities like manual entries in your accounting system.

 

 

Intuitive Navigation at Every Step

Great automation tools provide an intuitive and frictionless user experience. That’s why we’ve built our workflow solution as a single point of access for all your daily processes, offering a consolidated set of information to guide you and your team through various findings. The solution features a range of functionalities, including KPIs to visualise and track essential metrics, flexible views to structure your workflow cases according to your needs, and task-related capabilities to manage different investigations effectively.

 

 

Discrete, Embedded Intelligence

In addition to providing a platform that detects specific patterns and offers the right functionalities, we believe it’s essential to deliver subtle support through AI capabilities. This assistance provides dynamic, context-based suggestions that evolve over time, continuously improving and enhancing your processes.

That’s why we have integrated AI approaches such as advanced language models and vector search to collect and analyse key information associated with each scenario detected by the system. This enables comparisons to identify groups of highly similar scenarios

Additionally, our AI agent interprets all findings and provides you with a summary of what has been validated or not validated by our system.

 

 

Build Your Own Workflow

With our new update, you can select and customise workflows to align with your operational needs. Whether you’re validating the NAV of share classes and underlying portfolio P&L, reconciling portfolio representations from different systems, or overseeing and validating the pricing of instruments registered in your data, you have complete control over how your tasks are structured, visualised and automated. Whether you prefer to build your workflow from scratch or fine-tune a pre-built template to perfection, the choice is yours.

 

 

Here’s a selection of templates available on our platform:

• Smart NAV Oversight: This template provides a complete set of controls to validate or invalidate the NAV at both the share class and portfolio levels, using our proprietary models to predict their corresponding P&Ls. Additionally, it includes analytics that assess all underlying factors, giving you the context you need. See here for more information: NAV Oversight: How data and AI can drive operational excellence

• Fees & Performance Fees: This template provides a focused view of all registered fees, helping you identify whether they are calculated correctly and within budget. It utilises two components, Fees Analytics and Performance Fees Analytics, which independently estimate what the fees should be and include all relevant factors for better understanding.

• Share Class Hedging: This template provides a clear view of the hedging process for all share classes, helping you determine if they are within expected limits based on their intended effects (such as currency hedging or capital hedging). It also includes analytics to identify whether any breaches are passive or active, offering insights into all FX transactions, market conditions, and other patterns that help pinpoint the root cause.

• Investment Compliance: This template provides a comprehensive framework for setting and monitoring regulatory and prospectus investment restrictions across all portfolios, ensuring adherence to established regulations and requirements. It includes analytical tools to identify and categorize any breaches, offering insights into transaction activities, market conditions, and other patterns to determine whether those are active or passive.
