FactSet and Arcesium announced a strategic partnership to deliver a unified investment management offering designed to seamlessly integrate front, middle, and back office asset management workflows across public, private, and alternative markets. This partnership addresses the growing demand for solutions that unify workflows, connect fragmented data, and enable firms to navigate the increasing complexity of modern investing. Integrating analytics engines, data pipelines, and AI-powered workflows, this end-to-end solution enables deeper due diligence, and streamlined portfolio monitoring and reporting across asset classes.
Buy-side teams can efficiently ingest, model, and analyze diverse asset types?including illiquid and bespoke investments?yielding a "single source of truth" for investment and compliance teams. Rather than focusing primarily on public markets or requiring disparate systems for private and alternative assets, the FactSet-Arcesium solution is purpose-built to provide seamless integration of workflows across public, private, and alternative asset classes, ensuring unified operations and reporting. By leveraging FactSet?s global data infrastructure and Arcesium?s cloud-native technology, the partnership delivers superior data consistency and advanced analytics within a flexible, interoperable platform, uniquely addressing the challenge of integrating critical middle and back-office functions, such as accounting and compliance, that have historically been underserved or siloed. This empowers asset managers to streamline operations, automate processes, and adapt rapidly to evolving regulatory demands without vendor lock-in.
This platform combines FactSet?s advanced front and middle-office analytics and portfolio management tools with Arcesium?s proven back-office technology, including IBOR (Investment Book of Record), ABOR (Accounting Book of Record), and Reference Data solutions. By bridging the gap between public and private assets, the platform delivers a single source of truth that simplifies processes, enhances transparency, and accelerates decision-making. By combining Arcesium's deep operational and data management capabilities, including UBOR and Aquata platforms, with FactSet's comprehensive front-office suite, the partnership is delivering a truly holistic and future-proof solution.
