Hank Boughner, CEO, Dynamo Software


Firms focused on alternative investments have had to rely on cumbersome, manual reporting and decentralised communication that eat up man hours. The old way of work has kept these firms overwhelmed with data sources and inputs. In this environment, is it truly possible to have confidence in the accuracy of investment reporting and the ability to deliver smart, successful investment management?

 

US-based Dynamo Software, headquartered in Watertown, MA with offices throughout North America, EMEA, APAC and UAE, has developed a better way for the industry. Integrated workflows now take over where outdated, manual processes once ruled.

 

Dynamo provides industry-leading end-to-end solutions for the alternative investments space. The company has spent more than 20 years working alongside general partner (GP) and limited partner (LP) clients to develop features and functionalities that can adapt and scale in lockstep with changing industry standards. Dynamo has built its end-to-end capabilities for the alternatives ecosystem, which although large, is also a very specific, nuanced sector.

 

Dynamo’s array of modules work together to build one centralised, automated and comprehensive platform. By automating repetitive manual processes with configurable dashboards, workflows and reports, Dynamo quickly and accurately does the heavy lifting. This way, investment teams can focus on the human touch and insights that make their firms succeed.

 

“Given the unique complexities of alternative investments, it’s especially critical to have systems for data capture and collaboration,” Dynamo’s CEO, Hank Boughner, explains. “They marry the best of human capabilities with the best of technology, empowering teams to harness the power of automation. New and tenured investment professionals alike can set aside tedious manual tasks and dial into more strategic endeavours.”

 

Recently, Dynamo released the findings from its new survey, Trends, Challenges, & Insights from Leading LPs & Asset Allocators, which includes insights from more than 100 limited partner and asset allocators. When asked to rank the challenges they currently face within their investment processes, participants placed “document collection and/or data extraction” first,  followed by “comprehensive views of portfolio exposures”, then “managing risk”. It’s no surprise, then, that 94 per cent intend to spend the same (43 per cent) or more (51 per cent) on technology to solve these challenges.

 

Investment firms must be able to track a wide range of data sources to analyse when things are going well or poorly. As Boughner says, “The alternative space has a multitude of data elements coming at investors that differ from public markets. And you need to collect information across different cycles so you can have an informed perspective. However, this creates a data deluge where, actually, too much information is available. Therefore, Dynamo thinks about how to best help the investor not only collect information and aggregate it, but how to enable sharing within their organisation to gain collective opinions.”

 

Ultimately, this results in more informed discussions about making data actionable to understand where to make the best investments. That’s at the heart of Dynamo – helping clients control and transform the data deluge so investment firms can make the best, smartest decisions with their capital.
