The asset management industry often faces challenges such as legacy systems, manual processes, and inconsistent data standards, leading to inefficiencies and operational risks.
"By leveraging the Aladdin® platform’s propriety data interfaces and workflows, KFintech will be able to better integrate the flow of data between KFintech and asset managers on the platform. This, in turn, will enable KFintech to digitize manual processes, align reference data and research fund activity in real-time, and conduct middle office operations on behalf of clients," KFin Technologies said in a statement.
