Certify and Monitor Subadvisory Relationships

Subadvisor Management ™

Fund advisors have significant fiduciary responsibilities for certifying, selecting and monitoring all active subadvisory relationships. Also, it is becoming an industry “best practice” to develop a strong bench of approved subadvisors who can step into new mandates, take over a sleeve, or serve as replacements.

Until now, subadvisor oversight has been largely a labor-intensive, paper-based “traditional” or a manual process. The costs of this process are not only measured in time and money – but also in terms of details that often fall through the cracks, opportunities delayed or lost, and identification of potential compliance risks created.

Introducing: A Comprehensive Certification Solution

The traditional ways are over. Coates Analytics Subadvisor Certification offers a comprehensive solution to help fund management companies certify and monitor subadvisory relationships. Through a secure web-based application and customizable interface, Subadvisor Certification will help you reduce operational expenses, improve documentation and increase control over every aspect of your relationships. As subadvisors provide responses to critical compliance questions, you will be advised through e-mail and dashboard alerts, so you can increase oversight or take timely actions. You can even set thresholds for e-mail or dashboard alerts, based onBoard-approved criteria.

Coates Analytics has engineered this solution to meet demands of industry-leading managers who impose rigorous requirements for subadvisor approval. We have created a streamlined workflow that eliminates repetitious request for information, duplicate documentation, reporting delays, and data inconsistencies. All of the subadvisor risk data your Board needs to meet fiduciary and regulatory standards is securely organized and archived. All activities are recorded in an audit log, at each reporting level. This new compliance solution allows your compliance team to create sophisticated board oversight reporting packages in a turn-key fashion, significantly reducing the time spent pulling data from disparate sources to produce reports and allowing your complienace group to focus risk evaluation.

“Traditional” Is No Longer Good Enough for Your Funds

Subadvisor Certification reduces the number of people and the hours of time required by “traditional methods” of certification and oversight. The process can be virtually paperless, and the advantages of speed and labor cost savings can be shared by both your fund management company and each subadvisor. Eventually, you may wish to pass through some of these cost savings to investors, to increase your funds’ position in a competitive industry.

By making the process less time-consuming and cumbersome, Subadvisor Certification also will enable you to scan the broad universe for attractive emerging managers, invite their certification, and then follow their results with more clarity.
