At TSAM London 2026, Rhys Thatcher Jones from FE fundinfo offers a perspective on the operational challenges currently shaping the asset management sector and highlights that asset managers are primarily concerned with maximising the efficiency of their operating models while navigating challenging market conditions. This involves a critical focus on ensuring the integration and performance of their service providers are functioning correctly and delivering maximum value.
Furthermore, Thatcher Jones addresses the pressure from ongoing regulatory changes in the marketplace, specifically pointing to the UKCCI initiative as a major focus for asset managers over the next 12 to 18 months.
Thatcher Jones explains how FE fundinfo is positioned to help asset managers successfully manage these internal and external pressures and addresses these complex demands through the deployment of its Nexus platform, which is a central tool that unifies various aspects of an asset manager’s operating model to ensure seamless efficiency.
The Nexus platform’s positive impact starts at the foundation, focusing on data which extends to creating vital efficiencies and integrations within the middle-office for functions like regulatory reporting, calculations, and marketing outputs. By connecting the middle-office all the way through to front-office, the platform enables asset managers to make their entire operation as efficient and impactful as possible.
