Alternative investment firms are shifting toward bundled fund administration solutions

Friday, February 21, 2025
Opalesque Industry Update - Alter Domus, a provider of tech-enabled fund administration, private debt, and corporate services for alternative investment managers, has released its latest whitepaper, "Altered States: Bundled Solutions Drive Operational Alpha for Alternative Investment Firms."

The report explores how alternative investment managers are evolving their operational models to enhance efficiency, scalability, and compliance.

The findings shed light on the key factors GPs consider when outsourcing operational functions and how firms can position themselves for long-term success.

"Alternative investment managers are rethinking how they run their operations as investors demand more transparency, faster access to information, and better reporting," said Michael Janiszewski, Chief Operating Officer at Alter Domus. "With growing regulatory pressures and rising costs, it's no surprise that more GPs are turning to bundled solutions. We've invested heavily to meet this need because great partnerships make all the difference. By offering integrated services, we help managers streamline their operations so they can focus on what they do best-delivering value to their investors."

As alternative investment firms navigate an increasingly complex operational landscape - characterized by regulatory pressures, rapid technological advancements, and rising investor expectations - the whitepaper reveals a clear industry preference for comprehensive, outsourced solutions over fragmented, in-house approaches.

Key Takeaways from the Whitepaper:

Challenges in Scaling Operations: Fund managers face mounting difficulties in maintaining in-house operations, including talent acquisition, technological integration, and jurisdictional compliance.

Investor-Driven Demand for Transparency: As institutional investors demand more rigorous reporting and risk management capabilities, fund managers are re-evaluating their operational strategies to meet these needs.

The Role of Fund Administrators: The report underscores the increasing importance of selecting the right fund administration partner-one that can offer expertise across asset classes, regulatory jurisdictions, and evolving investment vehicles.

Alter Domus commissioned McKinsey & Co. to survey 192 professionals utilizing Financial Advisor (FA) and/or Debt Capital Management (DCM) services across North America, Europe, and APAC, ensuring a comprehensive, data-driven analysis of emerging trends.
