Private fund managers face growing demands for more detailed investor reporting, faster access to data, and efficient operations. AI and automation can help meet those demands, but effective adoption depends on how data, processes, and people work together.
In his interview with Private Funds CFO, Chris Patton discusses where automation is making a difference and what managers should prioritize as their operating models evolve.
Why the operating model matters
Investor requests for more frequent, detailed reporting are adding complexity to fund operations. Meeting those expectations means coordinating information from administrators, banks, portfolio companies, and other providers.
Automation can help managers handle that work more efficiently. But its effectiveness depends on consistent data, aligned processes, and clear responsibility for reviewing outputs. Chris explores how these foundations support sustainable adoption and how fund administration roles are evolving alongside the technology.
