FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: A volatile market environment with increased risk is forcing the investment community to adopt data management practices that enable aggregate position keeping across their organizations, finds a new white paper from GoldenSource and Investment Solutions Consultants (ISC). GoldenSource Corporation, a leading provider of Enterprise Data Management (EDM) solutions and ISC, a limited liability partnership exclusively serving the investment management community, collaborated on the white paper which identifies 11 key drivers that are influencing the need for aggregated position keeping across the investment community. Geoff Fensome, Partner, ISC, commented, "Gaining a consolidated picture of all positions and the related risk exposure has to be ultimate goal of any buy-side data management strategy. This is not as simple as it sounds given the need to capture and validate all factors that contribute to exposure. These include holdings, underlying instruments, customer and counterparty credit information, risk data, prices, descriptive data and other derived indicators. It's clear that a sophisticated EDM strategy is essential in enabling the dynamic integration of data from across the enterprise to deliver a holistic view of the firm's holdings and overall risk exposure. This whitepaper identifies these drivers and explains how an EDM strategy can help achieve this goal." Neil Edelstein, Vice President, GoldenSource and co-author of the white paper, added, "If buy-side firms want to gain a true picture of their overall holdings and exposure they have to realize that there are no shortcuts. But the pay off for doing it right through a well structured EDM program that addresses all eleven critical buy-side functions will transform a firm’s ability to compete effectively in today's volatile markets." * * *
