Fund platforms can expose investors, fund managers, depositary banks, and fund distributors to high levels of risk. The traditional role of fund platforms is changing, and this evolution is reshaping the dynamics of distribution in the fund industry. More information than ever before is needed to gain a true understanding of the risks associated with a particular platform.
Thomas Murray has therefore developed a new, market-leading product to assess the risk of fund platforms. Unlike existing credit rating tools, our Fund Platform Assessments are a holistic view of an entity’s entire risk profile.
