Case Study: Monitoring Mutual Fund Portfolio
|
A dedicated team of analysts helps a leading financial services company to monitor mutual fund portfolios of non-US based mutual funds. As an on-going assignment this involves:
|
|
setting up the portfolio
|
|
performing quality checks
|
|
maintaining database of funds monitored |
| |
|
It enables the fund manager to:
|
| |
|
track the margin enjoyed by the portfolio
|
| |
|
identify potential contributors to expected loss
|
| |
|
monitor percentage of NAV/AUM changes across monthly monitoring periods
|
|
|
Case Study: Building Consensus Expectation
|
The client is a global vendor of financial information. |
Consensus expectation is built on the basis of data / information provided by the client. It involves identifying changes in parameters like EPS, PE, CAGR, cash flow and updating consensus if reason seems justifiable. |
By outsourcing this process to ICRA the client has been able to take advantage of the time difference between the US & the UK and India, apart from the usual cost savings. |
|
Case Study: Outsourced Company Research
|
A highly qualified team of analysts helps a leading United States based research provider to prepare company & sector research reports. It enables their senior analysts to concentrate on more value-added work. This is made possible since the senior analysts’ work load is significantly reduced by outsourcing.
|
A proprietary process was developed to accomplish this task. A format specified by the client is used. It helps the Research Company in generating adequate volume of high quality output by significantly increasing coverage and maintaining time schedules; all obviously at a much lower cost.
