StatPro Group PLC
World's most scalable performance measurement system for asset managers launched
StatPro Group plc, ("StatPro", "the Group", AIM: SOG), the cloud-based portfolio
analysis and asset pricing services provider for the global asset management
industry, launches today a major expansion of its Revolution platform with a new
cloud-based performance measurement service, StatPro Revolution Performance.
StatPro Revolution Performance simplifies the critical process of performance
measurement for asset managers at a time when data management complexity grows
and demands from regulators and clients continue to increase.
Asset managers are struggling to keep pace with rapid change in the industry,
with many systems operating at peak load and failing to meet ever-shorter
calculation deadlines. StatPro Revolution Performance provides immense
scalability with data control and workflow for asset managers of any size and
enables them to utilise the enormous scalability of the cloud, which will make
entirely new levels of productivity a reality.
Justin Wheatley, Chief Executive, commented:
"We are delighted to launch this core service of our Revolution platform, today.
Over the last decade we have designed and built a unique cloud-based performance
measurement service for asset managers.
"StatPro Revolution Performance significantly reduces the turnaround time for
delivering portfolio performance results to stakeholders. It enables clients to
manage and control data more efficiently, calculate results faster than ever
before, and distribute results for analysis and reporting, all within a single
platform.
"We always look to provide our clients with significant productivity gains, but
the productivity gains promised by Revolution Performance are of a different
magnitude. We believe the business benefits of our new cloud technology will
transform the way asset managers calculate performance."

the Group's Chief Executive Officer, is leading the event with presentations

Client launch event
The Group is also hosting a launch event today for clients: 2:00pm at Banking
Hall, 14 Cornhill, London.
Asset management industry
The asset management industry has grown rapidly since the 1980's. In 1980, US
mutual funds had just $135 billion in assets; by 1990 that had risen to $5
trillion. Today, it is estimated that total assets under management in pensions,
insurance, mutual funds, hedge funds and private wealth accounts is around $100
trillion. This makes the asset management industry a significant portion of the
financial markets.
At the same time, the systems that were first implemented for the industry have
failed to keep up with the huge growth in assets, complexity and sophistication
of the asset management business. In addition a plethora of regulations have
been imposed by governments and regulatory bodies.
Systems
Very few asset managers of any size have only one system for performance
measurement and most have many. This situation evolved as different parts of any
one organisation selected different systems, including the front office for
managing money, the middle office for reporting to clients and the back office
for reporting to private clients.
StatPro believes that if asset managers rationalised these systems the savings
made would be considerable, not only in system costs and duplicated IT and data
licenses, but also in the effort to manage and reconcile differing numbers from
different systems.
The challenge for any single system is to be scalable in order to handle large
volumes of portfolios to be able to manage private client portfolios, fast
enough to provide timely data to the front office and sufficiently precise to
meet the needs of the middle office for reporting and compliance purposes.
StatPro Revolution Performance meets all these requirements.
StatPro Revolution Performance leverages the huge scale of the Amazon Web
Services (AWS) and its elastic cloud. AWS has over 5 million servers across its
many data centres. StatPro Revolution Performance can auto-scale (automatically
request additional servers) to meet required calculation times.
For example, a client can stipulate that a calculation take no more than 30
minutes and the service will request sufficient servers to meet this time frame.
This innovation liberates asset managers from lengthy and unpredictable
calculation windows using fixed IT infrastructure.
What used to take one to two days can now be done in a few hours. This in turn
will increase the productivity and service quality that asset managers and fund
administrators can offer their clients.
StatPro Revolution
StatPro Revolution Performance is an integral part of StatPro Revolution.
StatPro Revolution offers many performance analytics, multiple attribution
models, multiple risk models, stress tests, back testing and scenario analysis
as well as multiple reporting and integration solutions. The combination of all
these analytics connected to the power of the Performance platform makes StatPro
Revolution unique in range and depth of functionality as well as being hugely
scalable.
Today, StatPro has three clients paying for early versions of StatPro Revolution
Performance. Two of these clients are fund administrators who serve a large
number of clients.
StatPro will now be able to convert fully its clients who are using its SDH
(StatPro Data Hub) and SPA (StatPro Performance and Attribution) modules of
StatPro Seven to StatPro Revolution, approximately 100 clients.
