The increasing complexity and volume of data coupled with the ever-expanding choice of data providers has presented new challenges for buy-side investors. They are now able to access a plethora of outsourcing options, both established and bespoke, which leads to many novel challenges.

One of the main aims of the Data Management for Buy-Side investors Report is to explore how far outsourcing data management functions can be pushed into the operational chain, what are the limits and what are reasons underpinning these limitations? Thought leaders based in the United Kingdom, Europe, and North America discuss key issues such as: To what extent can you outsource data management functions while simultaneously maintaining responsibility? Is there an ideal service model? What are the data management concerns related to unfamiliar and non-standardised ESG, climate, and sustainability data? What are the key issues related to data governance frameworks and enterprise data management?

The report brings together Chief Operating Officers, Heads of Data Management, Investment Operations Directors, and Heads of Data Governance to discuss outsourcing data management, data governance frameworks and enterprise data management.
