What is FE fundinfo's Loopback?

Maintaining and controlling the accuracy of fund information displayed in the market is an ongoing challenge for data and distribution teams. To put this in perspective, FE fundinfo queries and validates over 35,000 erroneous data arriving from external sources points each month.

Fund data distribution: The challenge of keeping data error-free within the fund data distribution network

Huge volumes of fund data points and documents are exchanged each year between fund managers and their distribution partners which include data vendors, private banks and media companies. But recently, the amount exchange occuring is constantly changing due to the ever-changing regulatory landscape.

For over 25 years, FE fundinfo has been a valuable partner in helping fund managers with the distribution of fund data and documents, enabling them to distribute their information efficiently to a broad distribution network.

The one challenge fund managers face is making sure your distribution partner has access to your up-to-date fund data and documents. The other ongoing administrative burden of maintaining and controlling the accuracy of your data that is published and circulated in the market.

While FE fundinfo plays a crucial role in fund data distribution, the ultimate decision on publishing lies with the distributors.

Delays and errors in data can stem from various sources, manual processes, and a growing disconnect within the asset management ecosystem where there is an increasing number of market participants. But the main problem however, is if your data is consistently inaccurate and incomplete, it exposes your firm to unwanted regulatory, reputational, and financial risks, leading to lost business.

To minimise these inaccuracies, FE fundinfo queries and validates over 35,000 erroneous data points arriving from external sources each month. This saves you from enduring countless hours being wasted on error tracking, which further complicated by the ever-growing reliance on distribution networks and media channels for fund distribution.
