Factbook, a specialist provider of fund reporting, marketing and data management solutions to the investment community will be sponsoring, and exhibiting at TSAM Europe 2011. Regarding what is certainly a very current topic, Abbey Shasore, Factbook CEO, will be speaking on the main panel discussions on preparing for UCITS IV, with a specific emphasis on the challenges investment managers are facing in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) delivery process.
“With the implementation deadline of 1st July rapidly approaching and Investment Managers looking to implement a potential KIID solution, it really is a timely opportunity to discuss UCITS IV and KIIDs at TSAM Europe and to not only explore how we can help investment managers with the Factbook KIID™ solution, but also to listen to industry feedback and consider the very real pain points they may be experiencing.” said Abbey Shasore.
“Factbook will be at Stand 56 at the conference, we invite interested parties to come and speak to our representatives to gain insight into our Factbook Solutions Suite™ and our Factbook KIID™ solution.”
Bradley Fincken, Factbook’s Business Development Manager commented, “We are already receiving considerable interest for our Factbook KIID™ solution. Investment Managers are increasingly realising that the CESR guidelines on UCITS IV, in relation to the KIIDs, are going to place a considerable burden on Operations and Marketing department resources. Research has shown that a majority of UK and European fund managers feel that the KIID will help investors in their fund evaluation by providing a real way in which funds can be compared against each other in quite a strict framework. So it is welcomed, but the feeling is that it will present a significant logistical challenge for efficient, sustainably scalable delivery. That’s where we can help.”
