OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE IN MIDDLE & BACK OFFICE

Efficient portfolio administration—from trade to accounting
 

 

Mastering Middle & Back Office complexity is a strategic imperative for asset managers and asset owners. 

Your Middle & Back Office teams form the operational backbone of your organization, ensuring each portfolio is administratively sound, every transaction is accurately processed, every cash movement is validated, and every corporate action is properly handled. 

Traditional Portfolio Management Systems (PMS) often perform well with standard workflows but struggle with complexity and exceptions. 
Manual workarounds for non-standard corporate actions (e.g., tender offers, stock splits, bonus issues) or margin calls can lead to operational inefficiencies and errors. 


That's where AMINDIS comes in.
