1 GOVERNMENT AND INSTITUTIONAL INVESTMENT SURVEY REPORT 2017
2 INTRODUCTION Treasury and investment accounting professionals face numerous challenges: transparency to their constituents; shifting regulatory requirements; investment policy compliance monitoring; pressure to provide accurate and timely information to stakeholders; and more. Clearwater Analytics recently conducted the 2017 Government and Institutional Investment Survey to explore these challenges and the solutions governments and institutions have found to solve them. Survey respondents, including accountants, managers, directors, treasury and investment professionals, controllers, portfolio managers, and more, provided information about team structure and strategy, key accounting and reporting processes, and investment allocations. The following report provides an overview of the investment accounting and reporting environment for governments and institutions and key benchmarking data so organizations can compare their processes, strategies, and common challenges against those of their peers. ABOUT CLEARWATER ANALYTICS Clearwater Analytics provides industry-leading webbased investment portfolio reporting and accounting services for government entities, institutional investors, corporate treasuries, insurance companies, and investment managers. For more than a decade, Clearwater s daily-aggregated and reconciled solutions have delivered quality portfolio transparency for clients such as City of Newport Beach, Orange County Transportation Authority, Knights of Columbus, Sagicor, Guarantee Trust Life, Cisco, Facebook, Oracle, and Starbucks. Clearwater reports on more than $2 trillion in assets across thousands of accounts daily.
3 Table of Contents SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS 4 DEMOGRAPHICS 6 TIME AND PROCESSES 12 CHALLENGES 20
4 SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS Growth vs. Scalability As shown in the graph on the right, team size was primarily divided between small and large, with most respondents working on teams of one to two, or eight or more. Both groups included those at organizations with large portfolios of more than $5 billion. For team size, governments and institutions are choosing between two distinct strategies: growing or scaling. Growing team size simply means adding personnel to overcome new challenges. Scaling, on the other hand, is achieved by leveraging tools and technology to do more work without adding staff. With respondents managing such large and seemingly complex portfolios with teams the fraction of the size as others, it is clear that many organizations are implementing the right tools to achieve true scalability >8 > $5B $1 - $5B $500M - $1B $250 - $500M $100 - $250M < $100M SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS 4
5 Automated Processes vs. Manual Processes 39% of those surveyed no longer rely on spreadsheets and manual data entry for investment reporting, with the majority using some type of technology for automation. The other 61% still rely on manual spreadsheets and data entry. Of that group, an overwhelming 90% rely on custodian and asset manager data to aggregate and reconcile data, and then calculate accounting entries, which slows reporting and period-end close times considerably. This information is telling: governments and institutions have room for improvement when it comes to updating their data management infrastructures. Automating investment accounting and reporting processes is a key way to do this. Gaining Efficiency Through Automation More than 50% of respondents take longer than a week to close their books at period-end, and 17% require more than a month to close. Long and cumbersome close processes are a hallmark of manual investment data aggregation and reporting for institutions and government entities. Leveraging an automated investment accounting and reporting platform can be a key tool many institutional investors do not take advantage of to help them gain efficiencies. Infrequent Interperiod Reporting Having daily access to investment policy compliance status, portfolio risk exposure, and overall performance metrics provides transparency for constituents and stakeholders, especially during times of market volatility. However, 73% of those surveyed do not provide interperiod reporting. SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS 5

24 Best Practices Through Benchmarking Industry benchmarking is an important practice for institutions dedicated to evaluating and improving their investment strategies and investment accounting and reporting processes. At a time when technology is revolutionizing how organizations are managing, analyzing, and effectively leveraging their data, treasury professionals benefit from participating in the conversation around operational best practices and solutions. Clearwater is dedicated to providing benchmarking data that will help treasury and investment accounting professionals do their jobs more effectively. This data will be updated in subsequent annual editions of this report.
