FIS has introduced the FIS Investor Services Suite, an end-to-end solution aimed at improving investor servicing for financial institutions, as well as alternative and traditional fund managers.
The system is designed to optimise processing for faster client onboarding and enhanced investor screening, with the potential to automate the investor lifecycle to increase operational efficiency and support regulatory compliance.
The launch comes as the capital markets industry faces growing regulatory requirements and operational challenges.
Joint research by FIS and Chartis indicates that the alternative assets market could surpass US$20 trillion by 2025, creating demand for more streamlined, technology-driven solutions.
The Investor Services Suite is intended for hedge funds, private equity, hybrid funds and retail fund structures.
It offers digital onboarding tools, including integration with identity verification systems, and allows customisation of anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes to meet requirements in multiple jurisdictions.
Other features include cash management functions, fee calculation tools and options for customised reporting.
Matt Stauffer, SVP and Group Executive at FIS, said:
“Managing investor servicing processes has long been a pain point for fund managers and administrators, especially given increasing regulatory demands, cost pressures and client expectations for personalised services. By enabling greater levels of automation, financial institutions can streamline their investor servicing lifecycle and position themselves for long-term success in a highly variable environment.”
According to FIS, the suite aims to help fund managers, administrators and private banks modernise operations, with potential benefits for end investors through improved transparency, engagement and decision-making across the investor lifecycle.
