The Future of Fund Management: Why Top Firms Are Switching to Co-Sourcing

Driven by market conditions, co-sourcing solves the problems associated with outsourcing

Private capital firms are under increasing pressure today to outsource fund administration. But outsourcing has its downsides. Specifically, when GPs outsource, third-party fund administrators collect their data, generate reports, and cover other functions within the fund administrator’s software platform. This arrangement leaves GPs vulnerable to a host of risks.

Market Conditions for Co-Sourcing: Navigating the New Era of Fund Management

Increasingly demanding investors, the accountant shortage, and cloud-based solutions that foster transparency and collaboration have made co-sourcing into the powerful next-generation solution for the many challenges facing private capital today. As the 4Pines Fund Services Definitive Guide to Co-Sourcing explains, co-sourcing offers faster, more efficient fund administration and seamless LP experiences while also mitigating the risks associated with traditional outsourcing and in-house back-office functions.
