Regulators

CEO’s, CFO’s, Compliance Committees

Pension Fund Trustees
Supports execution of their fiduciary responsibilities and provides assurance that every investment transaction executed, be it a share, bond, future or option, was in the best interests of their Fund and that the expenses related thereto are justifiable.
The system records and analyses every transaction and all related costs including the impact of execution and timing. The results of the analyses are made available by way of exception reports and focus on issues influencing efficiency including any hidden costs. Over time the analysis provides Trustees with a clear indication of the strengths, weaknesses and overall efficiency of service providers thereby providing trustees with a scientific tool with which to manage investment mandates.
