Improve accuracy, efficiency, and reduce risk in the NAV oversight process
It’s critical for asset managers, management companies, and service providers to have accurate NAV data to protect investors and to fulfill their oversight obligations.
But demonstrating oversight and ensuring accuracy across multiple outsourced administrators can be time consuming and inefficient, with continued reliance on manual processes that introduce risk and additional cost into the process.
Based on technology used by BBH to review the thousands of NAVs we strike every day for our clients, NAVqc helps you meet your own oversight obligations across all your providers.
Our NAV Oversight Solution - NAVqc
- Anomaly Detection
- Analytics
NAVqc is a multi-provider tool for effective NAV oversight. It uses machine learning to review NAV movements and recognize exceptions. Deployed at the time the NAV is calculated, NAVqc eliminates noise and allows you to focus on only the true exceptions.
Using your fund’s historical data and real market conditions, it predicts NAV movements and flags suspect values; delivering exception-based alerts on only the NAVs that require review.
With NAVqc anomaly detection you can:
- Leverage your own historic NAV data to train a model customized to your unique fund behaviors
- Surface inconsistent NAV movements without significant effort
- Implement a cost-effective oversight mechanism to drive scale and ensure accuracy
Once NAV anomalies are identified, NAVqc’s analytics functionality provides the visibility into the details of your NAV data needed to facilitate efficient research and resolution across administrators. It is highly configurable with flexibility to provide alerting across NAV components and holdings. NAVqc analytics helps reduce time spent on unnecessary noise, driving your teams towards meaningful and efficient reviews.
With NAVqc analytics you can:
- Configure alerts to match your tolerances and risk profile
- Reduce risk through detailed validation of day over day movements in NAV components, securities, and ledger details
- Accelerate your ability to identify and remediate errors across administrators
Case Study – NAVqc streamlines oversight
The Challenge – our client, a large bank with extensive fund administration responsibilities, was relying heavily on manual, spreadsheet-based processes to review daily NAV calculations. They were spending significant time reviewing an overwhelming volume of false positive exceptions that consumed operational resources and delayed true exception resolution.
The Solution: Oversight with NAVqc – NAVqc built a client-specific behavioral model, enabling the system to intelligently filter out expected variances and flag only truly unusual activity. In a 2-month pilot, the client experienced a reduction in flagged daily NAV volumes - from 15% down to 3.5%. This 75%+ decrease translated directly to fewer false positives, faster exception management, and increased operational efficiency.
