Challenge
An investment firm managing dozens of funds needed accurate, up-to-date financial data across hundreds of positions and tens of thousands of documents — while meeting strict regulatory requirements.
Manual updates created compliance risk and consumed significant staff time that should have been spent on investment decisions, not data entry.
Solution
84EM built a custom integration that automates the entire data pipeline between the firm’s market data provider and their WordPress-based website. The system continuously synchronizes pricing, performance statistics, dividend information, and fund details across all active positions — without anyone needing to touch it.
Investment teams manage ETFs, closed-end funds, SICAVs, open-end funds, and money market funds through a unified interface. Background processing handles data updates throughout the day, ensuring visitors always see current information while staff focus on work that requires their expertise.
For data not available from the market data provider, the system includes bulk import tools for processing spreadsheets and files from custodians. Regulatory filings are handled in bulk, with fund and position associations applied automatically in a single operation.
Key Capabilities
- Automated data synchronization that continuously updates pricing, performance statistics, dividends, and fund details across hundreds of positions without manual intervention.
- Bulk file imports that process spreadsheets and data files from external sources, automatically organizing holdings and regulatory documents without manual data entry.
- Multi-fund-type support covering ETFs, closed-end funds, SICAVs, open-end funds, and money market funds through a single unified interface.
- Comprehensive audit trail capturing every data update and synchronization event with timestamps, supporting regulatory reporting requirements.
Results
Staff time previously consumed by manual data entry is now spent on investment decisions. Financial data across hundreds of positions updates automatically throughout the day — no one needs to touch the system.
Document management went from a multi-day process to a single operation. Regulatory filings that previously required individual handling now process in bulk, with fund associations applied automatically.
Data accuracy improved immediately. Removing manual entry removed the transcription errors that came with it. When data changes at the source, the website reflects it within the next update window.
The compliance team gained complete visibility into every data change. Every update and synchronization is logged with timestamps, replacing manual record-keeping and directly supporting regulatory reporting requirements.
