Historically within the middle office, different systems were required in different business areas - for example by asset classes, investment styles and across geographies. As a result, middle office analytic operations are typically fragmented from both analytical application and geographic perspectives. This causes inefficiencies, multiple points of potential failure and increased ownership costs. Anova enables investment management firms to conduct business functions in a very different way, realising new levels of efficiency, accuracy and seamless global operations.
Bringing control, order and coherence to investment analytics analytics
Anova is an all-encompassing solution that is designed to meet the challenge of today’s middle office analytics environment. At the heart of Anova is a global operating platform, enabling investment firms to access a company-wide analytical suite seamlessly and uninterrupted from any location in the world.
Anova enables users to select the investment analytics components of their choice. Components can be selected by choosing individual products from the Anova suite. This innovative approach to developing and promoting business applications within the investment management sector allows firms to blend applications and components. In this way it provides the most comprehensive and bespoke platform possible – the mix containing the optimum of new and existing applications – all operating within the Anova environment.
It is no longer sufficient just getting analytics. It is about getting the right analytics to the right people on time and with accurate content. Anova meets the key challenges - aggregation and consolidation of processes and information, with a scalable and efficient global operating model. This underlies the key features of Anova:
- Global Operating Platform – the ability to access the firm-wide analytical suite seamlessly from any location across the world. It provides 24x7 continuous operation, essential for the ability to run an effective and cost efficient global analytics function and to facilitate offshoring. For example, if one region is ‘closed’ to calculate NAV, other regions can continue to perform these calculations.
- Aligning needs with solutions - assembling functional components to meet the varying needs of the specific desk or activity. It recognises that different combinations of analytics are used by asset class, styles and risk/return profiles.
- Data consolidation - assembling the mass of analytical information generated across the plethora of applications and multiplicity of venues; reducing operational risk through the decrease in the unnecessary movement of data between systems and regional hubs.
- Role based dashboards – user definable dashboards that combine the analysis most suited to individual needs - from Portfolio Managers to ‘C-level’.
- Resilient scalability – proven ability to support scale operations based on the track record of our suite of investment management solutions.
Anova is designed to be a self service application, where end users are never more than a few simple clicks from the service or information they require. It embraces all the areas of middle office analytics:
- Performance Measurement
- Equity Analytics
