Fund Servicing Capabilities

Middle office, custody statements, and financial reporting: three capabilities, one data foundation. Position management, reconciliation, statement production, and financial reporting all read from the same event store. What the front office captures is what the middle office reconciles, what the custody statement shows, and what the financial report contains.

The Industry Challenge

Asset servicers run middle office, custody, and reporting functions on separate systems, each assembling its own version of the data. The result: reconciliation overhead at every boundary, manual statement production, and reporting cycles that take longer than the data stays current.

Middle office

Reconciliation that runs itself. Positions, trades, and lifecycle events flow through one data layer from front office to fund accounting. When a reconciliation break appears, the control checks agent identifies the source, classifies it, and routes it to the right team.

Position management

Consolidated view of positions across all asset classes and client books. The movements engine decomposes every change for full transparency.

Reconciliation

Reconciliation across custodians, prime brokers, and fund administrators runs on schedule. Exception dashboards surface breaks within minutes, with AI-powered triage.

Corporate actions

Lifecycle booking across the instrument universe with every corporate action event recorded. No manual booking, no missed events.

Lifecycle management

End-to-end instrument lifecycle support including trade confirmations, settlements, and corporate events.

Custody statements

Show clients exactly what happened, and why. Custody statements draw from the IBOR, not a separate extract. The movements engine decomposes every change into trades, corporate actions, income, revaluations, and fees. The position data your operations team trusts, formatted for the client.

Statement generation

Produce custody statements from the position data your operations trust. Templates you build adapt to each client's reporting requirements without custom development.

Template management

Create, manage, and version statement templates across fund types and client segments.

Production and delivery

Configure schedules and delivery channels for statement distribution. End-to-end production from data validation through formatting to client delivery.

Historical replay

Replay any position on any past date with the information available at that time. Respond to client queries in seconds, with full auditability.

Financial reporting

Reports you can trace back to the data that produced them. The numbers in the report are the numbers in the ledger. Every report traceable to the exact data state at the time of generation.

Investor reporting

Generate and distribute investor reports. Templates built to your specification meet the requirements of individual investors, fund boards, and distribution partners.

Regulatory reporting

Produce regulatory-compliant reports including SFTR, AIFMD, UCITS, and jurisdiction-specific requirements.

Management reporting

Internal reporting for fund boards, risk committees, and senior management. Dashboards and scheduled reports.

Ad-hoc analysis

Ask 'which funds missed their NAV deadline this month?' and get the answer from live data. SQL-based access via data virtualisation for deeper analysis.

Features

01

Compliance monitoring

Pre-trade and post-trade evaluation on live positions. Compliance dashboards and external reporting. AI agents for diagnostics and rule-based exception handling.

02

Compliance rules

Rule libraries and individually customised rules, with access to all data attributes stored in FINBOURNE. Rules against models and benchmarks: test exposure against a model portfolio or a benchmark weight, so limits defined as deviations from a benchmark are tested against the benchmark, not as absolute values.

03

Breach management

Breaches are raised, assigned, investigated, escalated and signed off in a workflow you configure. Drill from a breach into the calculation that produced it. Override rules require four-eyes approval, configurable rule by rule, with a documented reason on the permanent audit record.

04

External integrations

Externally performed checks display and are managed alongside native rules, in one view, so oversight does not fragment while you transition. Move rules across when it suits you.

AI

Each capability has its own agent. For middle office, the control checks agent triages reconciliation breaks and routes them to the right team. For custody statements, the data quality agent validates every position before a statement is produced. For financial reporting, the client portal agent assembles investor reports on schedule and the NAV production agent monitors SLAs across the reporting cycle.

Client stories

Middle office

Asset servicer, outsourced MO for a large hedge fund

An asset servicer competing to win outsourced middle and back office operations for a large multi-strategy hedge fund needed a modern, modular architecture. FINBOURNE was deployed as the central middle office data layer. Reconciliation, previously manual and Excel-based, now runs on schedule, enabling the servicer to scale without adding headcount.

Custody statements

Global custodian, modernising client data delivery

A global custodian bank needed to modernise how it produced and delivered data to clients. Workflows defined by operations replaced hard-coded transformation processes, and the entire transition was delivered without disruption to end clients.

Financial reporting

Asset servicer, 24x faster NAV reporting

A global asset servicer was producing batch-processed NAVs with manual reconciliations. FINBOURNE integrated data across internal systems, clients, and third parties. Manual processing cut by 90%, NAV production accelerated 24x.

Financial reporting

Charitable AM, quarterly reports to thousands of clients

A multi-billion pound charitable asset manager produced quarterly reports through black-box processing and manual spreadsheets. FINBOURNE consolidated data into a single governed dataset. Data virtualisation now powers reporting through Power BI.

Questions we hear from asset servicing teams

How do I get reconciliation breaks routed to the right team with the data they need to resolve them, instead of someone assembling that context manually each morning?

The control checks agent classifies each break, attaches the relevant position, transaction, and counterparty data, and routes it to the appropriate team. Exception dashboards show what needs attention, not what needs assembling.

How do I reduce the manual validation step between producing a custody statement and trusting the data in it?

Statements are produced from the same position data that operations uses for reconciliation and NAV production. There is no separate extract to validate because the source data is the same.

How do I respond to a client querying a historical position on their statement without reconstructing the data from archives?

Bitemporal history means any past position can be replayed on any date with the information available at that time. The answer takes seconds, not a reconstruction from archived files.

How are asset servicers shortening the reporting cycle without adding headcount?

AI agents assemble investor, regulatory, and management reports on schedule from governed accounting data, flagging data quality issues before distribution. The reporting team reviews exceptions rather than assembling reports.

How do I reduce the number of reconciliation points between trade capture and fund accounting?

By running middle office, custody, and fund accounting on a single data foundation. Data captured at trade entry flows through to reconciliation, statements, and accounting without re-extraction or re-validation at each stage.
