Arcesium Unveils Latest Iteration of Lifecycle Management Platform
Arcesium, a provider of investment lifecycle and data management technology, announced the latest iteration of its platform, Opterra, designed to help managers optimize operations and expedite data strategies.
Opterra plans to optimize all middle- and back-office functions across asset classes, as well as enhance operational infrastructure with new capabilities such as expanded self-service reporting, increased operational support for assets such as private credit and cryptocurrency, and more comprehensive regulatory reporting.
“This new platform is the culmination of our mission to match the sophistication of today’s — and tomorrow’s — investment industry and demonstrates our commitment to servicing the entire investment lifecycle for any asset class our clients want to trade,” said Arcesium CEO Gaurav Suri.
Arcesium was formed in 2014 as a joint venture involving D.E. Shaw, Blackstone Alternative Asset Management, J.P. Morgan, and other clients. The company provides cloud-based IT infrastructure services to hedge funds, private equity firms, and other asset managers.
Arcesium now services over $4.3 trillion in gross AUM and over $550 billion in sell-side capital balances and has modeled over 125 million investments to date.
Firms will have the opportunity to deploy Opterra by itself or synchronized with Arcesium’s enterprise data management platform, Aquata. Other features provided with the launch of Opterra include improved amortization calculators for the private credit market, expanded operational support for whole loans, and improved transaction management capabilities for crypto assets.
