Brown Brothers Harriman has launched a new solution to help asset managers ensure they are compliant with the SEC Names Rule (Rule 35d-1), which requires registered investment funds to ensure their names accurately reflect their investments and risks.
If a fund’s name suggests a focus on a particular asset type, industry, or strategy, at least 80 per cent of its assets must align with that focus.
BBH’s solution analyses fund holdings against the Names Rule threshold criteria, allowing managers to have a clear view of the fund’s compliance status.
The solution uses Infomediary to collect fund holdings, cross references the fund’s holdings against key reference data, and analyses the holdings at a granular level to determine compliance with threshold rules.
Tim Bosco, managing director, Infomediary Data Solutions at BBH, remarks: “Bringing together large, disparate datasets, normalising them, and applying rules-based analysis is fundamental to the work we’re doing across multiple data domains like accounting, custody, investor reporting, and performance.
“As our teams started having conversations with clients about Names Rule, the operational challenges of combining fund holdings and reference data became clear. And we knew that we could help.”
