13 Executing alpha FusionInvest generates a step-change improvement in business efficiency and profitability. Burdened by its own success, an investment company with over $40bn in assets under management had difficulty handling the expanding range of complex instruments that were part of its alpha fund strategy. To succeed, the company needed to find a solution that would meet its immediate needs and strategic ambition. As use of the system increased, its power and simplicity became clear to other potential users managing fixed income and equity funds outside the Misys platform. Now FusionInvest is being rolled out across the rest of the firm to support all asset classes. The firm chose Misys FusionInvest for its pricing engine, cross-asset coverage and integrated risk management capabilities. Since its implementation, the new platform has driven operational efficiency, improved risk management and simplified compliance and reporting. It became clear quite soon that FusionInvest was the right solution for us. It showed particular flexibility when it came to accommodating new instruments. Misys FusionInvest Solution overview 13
