The investment funds industry has undergone a paradigm shift in this decade from being a manufacturer-driven industry to one where a few large global integrators or asset gatherers distribute refined and quality fund products to a variety of investors through channels such as Internet/retail banking/affinity groups/IFA networks, amongst others. The current scenario is clearly a complex one wherein complex fund structures are distributed by distributors or intermediaries.

There are several challenges that transfer agents and fund distributors face in finding a flexible and comprehensive processing platform that would fit their complex business processing needs.

The solution is in a function-rich, cost-effective and sophisticated technology platform.
