J.P. Morgan Launches Cfo Tools In Australia

Gold Coast - In response to local demand for intelligent reporting services that offer transparency to underlying portfolio data and fair value pricing, J.P. Morgan announced today the launch of CFO Tools, a sophisticated analytics program that offers forensic portfolio analytics and investigation capabilities for Australian and New Zealand clients.

CFO Tools will enable Funds investing in private equity to deepen their understanding of their underlying portfolios. The program will enable Funds to ensure completeness, validity and accuracy of management fees and increased transparency to better understand performance fees, while also assisting with individual audit requirements.
“Australian Funds represent some of the most sophisticated institutional investors in the world,” said Jane Perry, CEO of Worldwide Securities Services. “They are working with increasingly complex financial instruments within a difficult economic climate and naturally require a range of intelligent data reporting services that can validate and reconcile alternative assets in real time.”

CFO Tools will complement J.P. Morgan clients’ existing risk management processes; reduce operational risk and overhead costs while increasing administration efficiencies. The program’s capabilities will also arm Funds with tools to comply with annual audit requirements.
