Scaling investment operations comes with its challenges, but with the support of Quantium, we’ve taken big steps forward. Read more about our journey in this case. 👇
Smartfin is a leading private equity fund headquartered in Europe and the United Kingdom, with over $650 million in Assets Under Management across 5 funds. With ambitious growth plans, the Smartfin team knew that their investment management system, which was quite manual and labour-intensive, would not be able to scale well with their expanding business. To enhance their operational efficiency, Smartfin turned to Quantium to help streamline their fund and portfolio management processes to set them up for success as the business grew. We spoke with Sebastien Thiel, Smartfin’s CFO, to understand how Quantium’s software helped them automate critical financial processes, reduce manual work and increase the efficiency of their investor reporting.
