The digital challenge of ManCos in 2020s
According to PwC Luxembourg Observatory for Management Companies – 2021 Barometer, there are two major growth drivers for ManCo business:
- Digital and technological revolution

Pre-and post-trade compliance at every step

Silcube's compliance engine checks every action and decision against hard and soft limits, and warns about potential violations.
Pre-trade compliance starts from the investment advice and is checked at investment decision and trade execution.
After the trade, Silcube verifies post-trade compliance. These checks can be extended to settlements, valuation and investor reporting.
Silcube produces a compliance report across all portfolios to simple day-to-day monitoring. Approvals and acceptances can be routed to the right person for approval, and everything is recorded in the audit trail.
Broad instrument coverage, with exposure and cash flow analysis
Silcube supports most asset classes, including equities, fixed income, forex, and alternative, and includes a generic asset type.
Silcube's exposure and cash flow engine understands the instruments. This means firstly that the cash flow projection is accurate, and future liquidity is always known.
Derivative instruments will inherit all the characteristics of the underlying. Silcube calculates the total exposure per any risk factor, issuer, and counterparty across the portfolio for all instruments.
