What is it?

Conventional approaches to trading and servicing managed funds rely on facsimile instructions, manual data entry and inconsistent processes. They do the job – but there's a lot of room for improvement in terms of efficiency, operational risk and time to market. Such approaches may be standard practice, but they're no longer best practice. Not since Ausmaq developed Fundstreme with its range of streamlined processing solutions. Fundstreme provides a comprehensive business process solution for managed fund trading and administration (including custody, settlement, distribution and tax statement collation, valuation, access and corporate event processing).

And reap the benefits

Fundstreme’s electronic systems:

  • provide specialised m.fund custody and settlement
  • reduce operational risk
  • minimise manual data entry
  • deliver standardised processes
  • lower costs
  • give you instant scalability to handle fluctuations in volume
  • enable trade cycle management
  • maximise speed and efficiency
  • simplify compliance
If you deal with wholesale managed funds – whether as a platform, administrator or custodian – you can benefit from Ausmaq's streamlined processing solutions.

New markets, new opportunities

Product innovation and pricing can help you win or retain business in the short term, but it's streamlined process that will enable you to compete and protect margin in the medium and long term. This is where Fundstreme will help you. It not only delivers the accuracy and efficiency you're striving for, it also delivers scalability. In a business where volume can change dramatically overnight, imagine being able to double your volume without increasing your head count.  Now you have an idea of just how powerful Fundstreme can be.

 

Accuracy is key– and managed funds are a headache

Conventional manual processing systems are fraught with risk and put undue strain on your service levels. Fundstreme minimises manual input and facilitates order management, giving greater risk control. Just as importantly, when it comes to tenders and reviews, Ausmaq solutions may enable you to offer even more competitive services. This is where Fundstreme's streamlined electronic order management comes into its own. Using M.fund Exchange, Ausmaq's industry standard electronic order utility, Fundstreme enables you to deliver the speed, accuracy, and efficiency that investors and advisers now demand.

New markets, new opportunities

Do you have a customer base with a healthy appetite for managed funds, but choose not to offer them because the prospect of adopting a paper-based system is abhorrent or simply too costly to make it worthwhile? Do you have an established m.fund presence, but find that current processes are just too cumbersome to support growth or stay competitive? The efficiencies delivered by Fundstreme may well tip the scales in favour of offering managed fund investments – to broaden and deepen your revenue base.
