Northern Trust launches enhanced hedge funds reporting platform

Northern Trust has launched a new reporting platform, Hedge Fund Monitor, which provides Fund of Hedge Funds (FoHF) clients with enhanced access to key data elements.

The platform is the latest in a series of enhancements and is available to Northern Trust's FoHF clients worldwide.

The new Hedge Fund Monitor reporting enables clients to extract the specific elements they need and schedule queries for key data, create customised, user defined reports to assist in meeting regulations e.g. AIFMD, Form PF.

Northern Trust's asset servicing product manager for alternative investments Ian Headon said that their clients are faced with new and evolving investor reporting and transparency requirements and as a result they need to be in a position to access reports and data requests on demand.

"The enhancements to our Hedge Fund Monitor reporting tool give our clients this capability without them needing to invest management time and effort in formally defining and specifying requirements," stated Headon.

The company said the new offering facilitates demands for transparency through an on demand flexible reporting tool and produces data to better execute on performance return analysis, portfolio management, liquidity or compliance.

Northern Trust said its Hedge Fund Monitor offering is integrated onto its core fund administration, custody and treasury services platform.
