J.P. Morgan Launches Alternative Investment Reporting Portal

New Portal Offers Transparency Through Innovative Technology

New York, March 27, 2012 – J.P. Morgan Worldwide Securities Services today announced the launch of Alternative Investment Reporting, a new interactive portal enabling alternative asset managers across Hedge Fund, Private Equity and Real Estate strategies to view, analyze and extract their fund administration data from dashboards, workflow tools and reports. This is the latest addition to J.P. Morgan ACCESS®, the firm’s web-based platform for multiple information, compliance and portfolio management applications.

This new technology facilitates consolidation of data and generation of reports across alternatives products via a single reporting platform irrespective of fund structure. In addition to the reporting capabilities, the portal includes a comprehensive workflow module which provides clients with the ability to monitor the progress of key operational processes.

Stephanie Miller, Global Head of Alternative Investment Services for J.P. Morgan Worldwide Securities Services, said: “Alternative Investment Reporting is an integral part of our alternatives roadmap as it provides our hedge fund, private equity and real estate clients with a single front-end interface irrespective of fund type. This solution highlights our continued commitment to providing two-way communication and transparency to our fund administration clients.”

The key features and benefits include:

Dashboard – provides access to key summary metrics such as top holdings, top capital flows and workflow status without the need to run a full report. Supports drilldown from summary level to detailed portfolio information

• Workflow – provides clients with the ability to monitor key operational processes and deliverables such as valuations and capital events. Enables clients to actively participate in the workflow process by uploading/downloading reports, providing on-line approvals, rejections and commentary
• Dynamic Reporting – provides clients with a reporting interface enabling efficient real-time access to a comprehensive list of reports in multiple formats and the ability to extract key data
• Document Repository – provides clients with a centralized storage point for critical documents

 “As a result of an increased regulatory focus coupled with expanding investor and portfolio demands, our top priority is to provide clients with easily accessible real-time secure information that is essential to their business objectives,” said Maryann Simmons, Alternatives Market Executive for the Americas for J.P. Morgan Worldwide Securities Services. “As such, J.P. Morgan continues to invest in new technologies and rapidly expand upon existing solutions in order to meet the evolving needs of our global alternatives client base.”
