The move will add a further $28bn to the firm’s AuA (Assets under Administration), and is primarily designed to support part of the Swiss investment bank’s US-based alternative investments business.
The system will accommodate the full remit of 500 funds which are currently under Tisco’s management. These include a diverse range of investment funds such as private, provident and mutual funds.

I enjoyed much meeting experts from different companies. TSAM creates huge possibility to share ideas and discuss real problems with asset management practitioners around all Europe. Presence of many vendors gives opportunity to look also for tools used in investment management. We have seen a couple of theorists to give speech on new models and formulas. I am looking forward to next edition of that unique event!
