For one global Tier I asset manager, the challenge wasn’t just managing index data – it was unlocking the potential of index analytics across a complex, multi-country operation. With trillions in AUM and teams spread across 50+ markets, the firm was struggling with outdated infrastructure, siloed systems, and manual workflows that slowed down performance and increased risk.
Investment teams lacked the tools to build and test index blends independently. Data inconsistencies created friction across departments. And rising regulatory pressure made governance and audit readiness a growing concern.
To address these issues, the firm implemented Rimes’ Enterprise Benchmark Solution and Index Analytics Service. The impact was immediate. Benchmark and index data was centralized in a modern cloud-based lakehouse, giving teams access to over 800 providers and 4 million indices. Manual processes were replaced with automated validation and remediation. And investment teams gained the ability to create and test index blends on their own – without relying on centralized support.
The self-service capabilities of Rimes’ Index Analytics Service allowed the firm to accelerate decision-making, reduce operational risk, and improve data quality across the board. Governance tools ensured full data lineage and compliance, while standardized delivery formats simplified integration with internal systems.
This transformation positioned the firm not just to solve today’s challenges, but to scale index innovation for the future. By modernizing its approach, the asset manager turned a fragmented, high-risk environment into a streamlined, strategic advantage.
