The Evolution of Outsourcing: What’s Driving Trends in the Middle-Office
Today’s institutional investment management firms are up against more challenges than ever before. Regulators continue to up the regulatory ante, operating costs are under increased scrutiny and the talent war rages on. At the same time, rapidly shifting macroeconomic expectations are influencing changes in investor demands that require nimble responses from investment managers. It’s against these constraints that firms find themselves increasingly looking for new ways to free up valuable time and resources in order to respond and optimize their business strategy.
The middle office is one of the most logical starting points we see when firms are starting to assess where efficiencies are to be made. For example, the investment book of record (IBOR) is a common target for firms to outsource and includes everything from post trade execution to performance analytics and end client reporting. Many argue the middle office is not a core competency and represents an opportunity to reduce costs and move to a variable cost model to drive efficiency and operating leverage.
