About this event
AIFMD has been in force for more than a decade, yet the role of the depositary is still often misunderstood or undervalued. Their job is to protect investors’ interests, and most people still see them only as a safeguard against fraud. Few see them as a partner that can help managers run their funds better, for example by reducing cash drag or speeding up operations.
Fund requirements are evolving rapidly; operations keep accelerating, and banking data is needed to underpin their AI capabilities, and depositaries can add significant value to fund operations.
During this lunchtime webinar, we will discuss the value depositaries can bring, and how technology can connect them with GPs and fund administrators. We will focus on private markets and semi-liquid funds, where products keep getting more complex, and timelines keep getting shorter.
This market discussion will be followed by Q&A session and a short demo of Finologee's Banking Orchestrator (BKO).
