FRED's core service consists of the comprehensive operation of a portfolio management system, as well as CRM solutions
Accordingly, services such as custodian bank interfaces and complete document and receipt archiving are also part of the service portfolio. Furthermore, FRED ensures data quality and data integrity within the portfolio management system.
The choice of system solution remains with the asset manager. Accordingly, FRED consciously does not see itself as a software manufacturer or distributor of such software, but rather leaves this system decision to the asset manager. FRED sees itself specifically as a specialist for data management and the seamless operation of such applications. Furthermore, FRED deliberately distances itself from ancillary activities to avoid any conflicts of interest. Therefore, FRED will not distribute any financial products or enter the data analysis business. True to the company motto: "Experts in data integrity".
Today, information from 94 different custodian banks is processed. Due to the current transaction volume, there are now over 60 custodian bank interfaces. In addition, a professional team of experienced securities specialists in Switzerland supplements, records, and refines the data. Leading providers of technological solutions for asset managers now collaborate with FRED and promote its services as part of their portfolios.
FRED is convinced that not only digitalization, but also the simultaneous process standardization in leading application solutions offers significant advantages. This includes identical data management to ensure high quality standards. Such an approach will also pay off for asset managers in terms of cost savings.
Especially with regard to the Financial Services Act (FIDLEG) and the Financial Institutions Act (FINIG), FRED enables the efficient and effective design and implementation of required compliance and regulatory monitoring. In addition, FRED also offers a stable and reliable solution for the European MiFID II directives.
