Institutional investment teams rely on information from dozens or even hundreds of sources.
The challenge is ensuring that everyone is working from the same numbers.
The solution is a single source of truth for institutional investment data.
A single source of truth is a centralized, standardized and reconciled dataset that provides a consistent view of the entire investment portfolio.
For institutions looking to build one, Institutions by MYFO provides the technology layer to make it possible.
What is a single source of truth?
A single source of truth means that investment teams can rely on one authoritative dataset rather than comparing information across multiple spreadsheets, systems and reports.
It should answer:
- What do we own?
- What is each investment worth?
- How is it performing?
- What is our allocation?
- What are our commitments?
- What is unfunded?
- What is our exposure?
How do you build one?
Step 1: Connect every investment data source
Bring together custodians, managers, fund administrators, GPs and other sources.
Step 2: Normalize the information
Create consistent definitions for investments, entities, currencies, valuations and performance.
Step 3: Reconcile the data
Compare information across sources and identify discrepancies.
Step 4: Consolidate the portfolio
Create one dataset spanning every asset class.
Step 5: Establish governance
Define which sources are authoritative and how investment data is maintained.
Step 6: Make the data accessible
Give investment teams, operations teams and leadership access to the same underlying portfolio information.
Why asset-class-specific systems aren't enough
An institution might have excellent alternative investment data and still lack a complete portfolio view.
A true institutional source of truth needs to cover:
Public Markets | Private Markets | Funds | Direct Investments | Real Assets | Credit
Otherwise, the institution still has multiple versions of the portfolio.
Institutions by MYFO: the single source of truth for the portfolio
Institutions by MYFO is designed to provide a unified investment data layer across the institutional portfolio.
It aggregates, normalizes and reconciles investment data from multiple sources and brings it together into one portfolio view.
Instead of asking:
“Which system has that data?”
investment teams can ask:
“What does our portfolio look like?”
That's the difference between fragmented investment data and a true institutional source of truth.
Your entire institutional portfolio. One view.
