Investment Management Division Operations supports the delivery of quality products, services, account information and analytics to our clients. These professionals process trades and reconcile daily client activity. They also manage client risk exposure, problem resolution, and the production of standard and customized client statements and portfolio analytics for the Investment Management Division.

The IMD Operations team is organized into three groups:

Private Investment Management

The Private Investment Management team handles client needs on a branch level. They support the Institutional Client group, Fixed Income offices throughout the Americas, the Firm's Trust product platform and external portfolio managers investing on behalf of our IMD clients.

One of the primary responsibilities of the group is the management of risk exposure and the monitoring of regulatory and compliance rules. This is achieved through daily successful maintenance of client investment needs.

Asset Management

The Asset Management group ensures the efficient and accurate bookkeeping and recording of transactions and asset information. Portfolio and money managers handle trade processing, portfolio reconciliation, performance measurement and portfolio accounting.

The Trade Processing teams are responsible for the bookkeeping of fixed income and equity trades and for coordinating settlement with clients' custodian banks.

	“The team supports the delivery of quality products, services, account information and analytics to our clients.”

The Portfolio Services and Accounting groups are responsible for reconciling all portfolios to the custodian banks' records, and for identifying daily cash available for portfolio managers to invest.

The Performance Measurement team reviews portfolio returns calculated by the accounting system, and generates composite returns. In addition, a separate team is responsible for reviewing and analyzing securities pricing and client portfolios.

Private Equity

Private Equity Operations is responsible for opening new Private Equity accounts and processing capital calls and distributions to investors for Private Equity Fund investments.

Client Reporting Operations identifies and creates strategic client reporting metrics which ensures accurate transactional and valuation date. Clients receive monthly reports detailing information analyzing their portfolios against key market benchmarks, including information on assets that our clients hold at third-party custodians.

Data validation and reconciliation functions of internal bookkeeping as well as assets held at other custodians is performed, so that clients have the ability to view portfolio returns. By tracking the initial cost basis of security purchases, clients can receive analytics that include realized and unrealized short-term and long-term gain/loss information. These functions grow more challenging as our clients invest in alternative asset classes and international securities. The group also prepares and distributes customized reporting, which assists the Sales team in developing new client relationships and maintaining existing relationships.
