By Daniel J. Genoud, Client Relationship Management, State Street Switzerland
With increased complexity in all aspects of your operations, there is more pressure than ever before to work faster and smarter. State Street AlphaSM brings together the tools, resources, insights and partners you need at your fingertips on a single platform.
Shifting investor preferences, growing regulations and rapid industry consolidation are creating more complexity than ever. To manage the trade lifecycle, institutional investment and wealth managers need access to infrastructure that provides them with speed, efficiency and choice across their front, middle and back-office. From risk analytics and portfolio management to trading and settlement, AlphaSM can help you streamline and simplify your investment processes – all on one platform.
Alpha redefines the precept of «alpha» to mean powering better performance and outcomes at every point in the investment lifecycle. The platform supports your business across the entire investment process, automating workflows and streamlining operations, and giving institutional investment and wealth managers quick and deeper insights into portfolio construction. With data identified as lifeblood and a central component to the buy-side operating model, we made sure to incorporate system interoperability.
Having an effective data management strategy helps you uncover new insights, operate more efficiently and better serve your clients.
