For capital markets firms, managing risk and compliance is as essential as managing investments and operations. And reactively managing risk isn't enough. Firms need to take a proactive approach that requires both updated processes and technology plus access to data.
The explicit and implicit costs of failing to build a solid compliance program can be dire. According to Coalition Greenwich, unethical behavior can put $225 billion in fees at risk for investment managers. Recent focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics has only accelerated efforts to ensure financial firms operate not only profitably, but also in a manner that conveys commitment to remaining compliant both in practice and spirit.
