Optimizing Outsourcing: Strategies for taking Operations to the Next Level

Outsourcing partners have become indispensable collaborators as managers move to optimize their operations in turbulent times and position themselves for growth.

Private fund managers are facing the most dynamically challenging environment in over a decade. Exits have slowed down considerably impacting fundraising capabilities. These factors have made it pivotal for fund managers to forge trusted relationships with outsourcing partners to optimize operations, manage compliance, reduce costs, and achieve sustainable growth.

To shed light on the adoption of outsourcing, industry analysts, Mergermarket conducted a global survey of senior executives at fund-of-funds, private debt / credit, and private equity fund managers. The resulting whitepaper, sponsored by S&P Global Market Intelligence, explores the motivations behind managers' outsourcing decisions and the role that technology is playing in this industry-wide trend.

The topics covered include:

• The greatest challenges for fund operations.
• Reasons for outsourcing elements of fund operations.
• Criteria for deciding which processes to outsource and which to keep in-house.
• The greatest obstacles to effective technology maintenance.
• The role of outsourced technology management for increasing scalability.
• The use of outsourcing partners to advise on regulatory developments.
