The Challenge of Fragmented Reporting Systems

Fund administrators are responsible for delivering a wide range of reports—from financial statements and regulatory disclosures to investor communications. While the format and purpose of each may differ, they are all driven by a common underlying dataset. However, the continued reliance on disconnected systems results in:

• Data Redundancy: Multiple versions of the same data exist across systems, increasing the risk of inconsistencies.
• Manual Reconciliation: Significant time and resources are expended in aligning data from different sources.
• Compliance Risks: Inconsistent data can result in reporting errors, potentially leading to regulatory penalties.

These challenges highlight the operational inefficiencies and compliance risks caused by fragmented reporting environments.

Establishing The Common Data Foundation

Despite the diversity of reporting outputs, most depend on a consistent core dataset—net asset values, portfolio holdings,transaction records, and investor information. Without a centralised framework,firms duplicate effort and introduce unnecessary complexity.

A single, trusted source of data not only reduces duplication but also underpins the accuracy, timeliness, and consistency required for regulatory and investor reporting.

Core Data Types in Fund Reporting

Fund reporting relies on multiple categories of data, which are frequently reused across different reporting framework: 

• Static Data: Information that does not change frequently,such as fund identifiers, legal entities, custodian and administrator details,investment objectives, and reference currencies.
• Dynamic Financial Data: This includes daily or periodic data such as net asset values (NAVs), portfolio valuations,transaction records, income distributions, and performance metrics.
• Regulatory Data: Data required to comply with local or international regulations, such as UCITS, AIFMD, SFDR, and MiFID II, often includes risk metrics, liquidity profiles, cost structures, and ESG characteristics.
• Investor Data: Information on share classes, investor types, distribution channels, and subscription/redemption activity, crucial for transparency and tailored communication.
• Narrative Content: Qualitative inputs, such as investment commentary, market overviews, or risk disclosures, often required in financial statements and factsheet

While these data types support different reporting outputs—regulatory filings, financial statements, prospectuses, factsheets—they are inherently interlinked. Fragmented systems handling these elements separately increase the operational burden and risk of inconsistencies.

The Nadi Platform: A Unified Approach

Nadi Solutions provides a SaaS-based platform designed to address these challenges by centralising data management and automating reporting processes.

Core capabilities include:

• Automated Data Integration: Nadi seamlessly imports static and dynamic data from various sources, mapping them to a standardised data model.
• Template Standardisation: The platform supports the setup of regulatory and financial reporting templates, linked with predefined rules to ensure consistency and compliance
• Customisable Workflows and Dashboards: Users can tailor controls and dashboards to manage daily operations efficiently, enhancing oversight and decision-making.
• Comprehensive Reporting Capabilities: Nadi facilitates the production of a wide array of reports, including financial statements, regulatory filings (e.g., AMF, CSSF, FSMA), and investor communications such as prospectuses and factsheets.

By consolidating data management and reporting functions into a single platform, Nadi eliminates redundancies, reduces manual intervention, and enhances data accuracy. This unified approach not only improves operational efficiency but also strengthens compliance and fosters greater transparency with stakeholders.

Conclusion

In an industry where precision and efficiency are paramount, the fragmentation of reporting systems poses significant challenges. Nadi Solutions offers a robust solution by centralising data management and automating reporting processes.
