RAISE and Linnovate Partners Hosts Luncheon with HKVCA

Don’t you think it’s a cause for caution when a limited partner (LP) asks you: Why do they receive their performance updates weeks after a major market move? Why doesn’t their dashboard include a metric relevant to them? Why do their reports look identical to everyone else’s? This mismatch can cause LPs to pause and wonder if you truly understand their portfolio and if their risk preferences and capital strategies are being taken into account. Research confirms it.

Data connectivity in fund management is mission-critical. Still, 48% of asset managers cite the speed of inbound data as a central challenge to effective decision-making.

The regulatory landscape for international tax compliance has become significantly more demanding, particularly with the introduction and global adoption of frameworks like the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and OECD’s Common Reporting Standards (CRS). While FATCA requires non-US financial institutions to report information on US account holders to the IRS, CRS mandates the automatic exchange of financial account information between participating countries to combat tax evasion. Together, these frameworks have created a comprehensive global reporting network that leaves…...

Fund accounting is a unique beast. Traditionally, it was driven by manual workflows, siloed systems, and spreadsheets—tools that once got the job done. While routine tasks, such as transaction reconciliations have been partially automated, critical workflows remain largely manual. Approving fund reclassifications, managing compliance reviews, and ensuring accurate reporting still require human oversight. What’s worse? The tools you may rely on haven’t kept pace. Many stopgap solutions (as simple as spreadsheets) create blind spots, forcing you to operate reactively rather…...
