A connectedapproach in investment management is critical

Bringing your business closer together

More agility, better risk control How do you meet tactical needs and strategic objectives?

Misys FusionInvest aligns technology with business goals

Investment managers are squeezed between the dual pressures of regulatory deadlines and investor demands – they need to meet tactical needs and strategic objectives.

Technology is a key driver of commercial success but many departmental solutions cannot be expanded easily to meet evolving business needs or market practices.

Investment managers who align their technology and business strategies will be able to mitigate risk and become more competitive.

Success storiesSuccess stories

“Our front-office personnel has more time to better analyse the market and make better decisions – this has an impact on revenue.”


Burdened by its own success, an investment company with over $40bn in assets under management had difficulty handling the expanding range of complex instruments that were part of its alpha fund strategy. To succeed, the company needed to find a solution that would meet its immediate needs and strategic ambition.

The firm chose Misys FusionInvest for its pricing engine, cross-asset coverage and integrated risk management capabilities. Since its implementation, the new platform has driven operational efficiency, improved risk management and simplified compliance and reporting.

As use of the system increased, its power and simplicity became clear to other potential users managing fixed income and equity funds outside the Misys platform. Now FusionInvest is being rolled out across the rest of the firm to support all asset classes.

Executing alpha

FusionInvest generates a step-change improvement in business efficiency and profitability.

“It became clear quite soon that FusionInvest was the right solution for us. It showed particular flexibility when it came to accommodating new instruments.”
