There is an opportunity to introduce advanced fund administration platforms, performance and risk reporting tools, and ESG data management solutions that integrate with existing systems.

This breadth signals potential for upselling full-suite governance, risk, and reporting services to clients seeking one-stop solutions, including ESG services and regulatory advisory.
