BNY, a global financial services company, has announced that it has been appointed by Japan's Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), to provide alternative investment data.
The firm says this supports GPIF’s strategic goal to enhance its alternative investment performance.
BNY’s data and analytics platform was selected to provide GPIF granular data of alternative assets, which the firm says, empowers informed investment decisions.
The platform accesses the extensive dataset of CEPRES, a private market data company with over 20 years of experience and has a private assets database globally.
By consistently collecting investment look-through data directly from General Partners (GPs), combined with strong data validation capabilities, BNY will provide vital support for GPIF to achieve its objective, the firm notes.
Kunio Watanabe, BNY Japan country executive, says: “Clients need access to cloud-based data-driven decision-making tools that improve agility and adaptability in the fast-evolving capital markets landscape.
“The appointment sets a new standard for quality data for investment decision-making among global asset owners as alternatives continue to grow in their portfolios.”
