About the client

 

A mid-sized Europe-based global asset manager seeking to enhance performance reporting and attribution to meet growing investor demands

 

Client challenges

 

  • Frequent investor queries required real-time access to granular performance data
  • Data was spread across multiple systems, requiring manual collation and validation
  • Query responses were time-consuming and error-prone, especially when handling multiple requests simultaneously
  • No centralized system to manage query handling, slowing down turnaround times and increasing operational strain on analysts

Our solution

 

Crisil team enabled an automated, end-to-end performance attribution framework that included:

 

  • A centralized ‘Query Master’ file housing all key performance data, updated frequently, and validated automatically
  • Developed a query-driven interface allowing analysts to input investor questions and received structured outputs with minimal effort
  • Automated logic to organize, format, and validate data from the master file based on the nature of each query
  • Single-click document generation for client-ready responses instantly
  • A scalable system designed to handle multiple queries in parallel, significantly improving workflow efficiency 

 

Impact and results

 

  • ~40%
    Reduction in manual effort

  • Real-time attribution 
    By risk driver triggered at the command level

  • 50-60%
