FE is a leading international producer of fund factsheets and more recently of KIIDs
(Key Investor Information Documents). With the ever-growing demand for immediacy
of information, the production of fund documentation has become an increasingly
critical, but increasingly onerous, task.
Any fund provider looking to inject substantial efficiencies into their document
creation is likely to find our automated production process of real value. As a
highly experienced provider of factsheet production solutions we have developed
a sophisticated service that incorporates many valuable features.
- State-of-the-art secure web based management system
- Experienced ISO certified support team
- Workflow features to streamline management of the process
- Options for multiple use sign off to include compliance approval before publication
- Multiple output options – pdf, html, high/low resolution
- Automated error checking
- Performance, benchmark and SRRI data included as standard
- Graphic design expertise to ensure fully on-brand output
- Distribution options for documents once produced
- Real time editing and re-publishing of documents as required
- Full audit trail of production process
- Full archive of all published documents
Some of the benefits from the platform we provide include:
- Reduced time scales for monthly production, typically documents go live 10 working
days after month end, but it can be much quicker
- Increased data accuracy – by re-using existing client data files, using existing
FE data sources and including client specific data checking the accuracy of content
rises to a very high level
- Less manual intervention every month – the high degree of automation frees up valuable
resource to focus on other areas of the business
- Compliance – the archive, audit trail and compliance features work in harmony with
regulatory and compliance needs
To set up a new factsheet platform our clients benefit from our large and experienced
team of business analysts, project managers, data specialists and developers. We
engage with our clients to fully understand the scope of their requirements before
documenting it all and producing designs for all required templates. We work hand
in hand with our clients to reach the point where all documents are fully live as
soon as possible.
Once the system is established, documents are produced with a minimum of effort,
typically on a monthly basis. Changes or support issues are managed promptly by
our experienced support desk, and clients see their documents go live much earlier
each month than before. All our document platforms are scalable so any additional
fund ranges can be incorporated with a minimum of fuss.
Kii Hub
A specific version of our document production platform has been created to address
the needs of UCITS IV and the creation and management of KIIDs. This platform enjoys
all the features and benefits of the document production platform with some additional
KIID specific elements.
Kii Hub is an end-to-end solution for the production, maintenance and distribution
of KIIDs, which replace Simplified Prospectuses. Kii Hub designs the document, populates
the fund data and translates all the information into the appropriate local language
as required by UCITS guidelines to ensure industry clarity and consistency. The
KIIDs are updated automatically whenever a significant change occurs within the
fund using FE’s extensive collection of data and monitoring of performance, which
eliminates the huge responsibility placed on asset management companies to monitor
and update these documents themselves.
