Insights
Buy Side
Credit. Covered.
The credit market is seeing huge activity, in part due to large price drops driven by the COVID-19 crisis. Private equity and debt managers are responding by launching new credit funds or opening SMAs. But private credit is an opaque asset class, making it difficult to navigate. So, if you want to succeed, you need the best operating models and solutions, coupled with expertise and services that reduce operational workload and use robust risk management techniques. Virtus from FIS brings it all together so that you can take advantage of the alpha-generating opportunities today’s volatile markets present.
Refining Reconciliation
Every journey to total data integrity starts with technology. But for the highest levels of accuracy and automation, you need to support your reconciliation solution with the strongest operational processes. In a global crisis, you must be sure that nothing will stop your solution in its tracks. That's why FIS' IntelliMatch team regularly monitors the maturity of our clients' product and service use. With our Data Integrity Index, you can explore our findings, see how your own organization compares – and learn how to drive data integrity in any event with a simple, smart and reliable approach to reconciliation.
