Every fund manager strives towards growing their funds and performance.
However, a fund can reach the stage where the size and complexity of their business is beyond spreadsheets and basic software. Some funds have grown to the point where they must now adhere to stricter audit and quality controls and whose decision making places greater demand on the accuracy and timeliness of their data.
FMO combines over 20 years experience in global funds management, to improve the management and reporting of global investment activities. FMO enables clients to place tighter controls on how their data is recorded and maintained, thereby ensuring higher data integrity and audit ability.
FMO also provides clients with a powerful reporting engine that can get information to decision makers in a timely manner and with certainty that the information is correct.
