How a top 10 global investment manager cuts fund time to market by 90% with Nexus

Discover how a top 10 global investment manager transformed fund data dissemination across public and private market funds using Nexus, freeing its fund data team to focus on growing assets under management.

How a leading investment manager is using Nexus to remove platform-by-platform complexity from fund data dissemination

Background

The investment manager distributes both public and private market funds across European, Asian and US markets. At this scale, every distributor platform, data aggregator and end client has its own requirements for how it receives data, from bespoke file formats to platform-specific authorisation rules.

Managing these requirements platform by platform absorbed significant resource and slowed new fund launches. Before centralising through FE fundinfo, the team faced months-long processes to establish data delivery arrangements with individual platforms, along with non-responsive support channels and inconsistent file naming conventions.

Objectives

The investment manager wanted to remove this friction by centralising fund data dissemination through a single specialist partner, while maintaining accuracy and compliance with minimal manual effort.

Faster speed to market for new fund launches across European and APAC jurisdictions
Removal of manual, platform-by-platform data delivery processes
Resource optimisation, freeing the team for value-added activity
Accurate, consistent data management from a single source
Bespoke and standardised delivery matched to each distributor's requirements
Private market fund distribution managed alongside public funds
Dedicated expert support with proactive relationship management

The investment manager's results

With Nexus as its single connection point for global fund data, the investment manager achieved the following outcomes:

Up to 90% faster time to market – compressing the process of getting new funds live, including cutting delays for ETFs entering the German market by weeks, and reducing turnaround on key German distributor platforms from 20 days to two
67% operational efficiency gain – freeing the fund data team, including colleagues in London and India, to focus on new fund launches, market entry and growing assets under management (AUM) rather than manual dissemination
Automated onboarding on major platforms – leading European distribution platforms now ingest static data from Nexus and onboard new funds automatically, eliminating manual completion of 100+ data point templates
Eliminated platform-by-platform complexity – the fund data team no longer needs to understand or manage the bespoke delivery specifications of every distributor, data aggregator and end client
Strengthened operational confidence – a dedicated relationship manager runs weekly check-ins and proactive case management, replacing a "black box" vendor model with full transparency

"FE fundinfo was a big part of how we reduced 20 days of scrambling to get funds available on key platforms to two days post-launch, one if we're lucky."

"We don't have to worry about how data platforms and distributor platforms want to receive data. We only have to worry about the data and getting it to FE fundinfo."
