Data in asset management
investment and client data: market and portfolio data, performance attribution, client analytics, and the compliance around it.
This block builds data fluency for asset and wealth management, where portfolio decisions, client reporting and regulatory filings all depend on trustworthy data. You will map the sector data landscape spanning security master files, pricing and reference data, benchmark constituents, holdings, transactions and client KYC records. You will learn the quality and governance metrics that matter, from pricing completeness and reconciliation breaks to lineage and vendor coverage. You will also address privacy rules governing client information, data regulation shaping cross-border flows, and the practical audits that keep NAV, performance and risk analytics defensible. The emphasis stays on data itself rather than valuation ratios, giving you sector-specific rigor applicable to front, middle and back office.
