A frequently asked question Meradia encounters is our opinion on various vendors. To assist our audience, we have launched a Vendor Spotlight Series, engaging in open dialogues with vendors to discuss industry trends, product positioning, and their collaborations with clients and partners. In this first installment, Jeremy Welch, Manager for Meradia’s Trading and Investment Operations practice, interviews Diane McLoughlin, Program Management Director at FundGuard.

This landscape piece seeks to explore the multifaceted world of asset owners, from the fundamental business drivers to the intricate operational challenges they encounter. Beginning with an overview of their unique objectives and governance structures, we dive into the specific challenges faced, with particular emphasis on navigating private markets and external manager processes. Through a blend of insights and practical experience, we aim to present nuanced solutions, industry use cases, and best practices tailored to the dynamic landscape of asset ownership.
