Overview

Building the operational foundation for growth in ASEAN equities

As ASEAN gains prominence as a standalone investment opportunity, investment managers are under increasing pressure to combine differentiated market insight with the operational capabilities needed to execute at scale. Supporting sophisticated strategies across a dynamic regional landscape requires more than strong investment expertise alone—it demands flexible technology, streamlined workflows, robust risk oversight, and the ability to adapt as the business grows. For emerging firms in particular, building the right operational framework from the outset is critical to supporting fund launches, delivering tailored client solutions, and establishing a platform for long-term success.

By working with Broadridge, Valverde Investment Partners was able to: 

  • Move from manual, spreadsheet-based processes to a more modern and integrated operating environment
  • Strengthen order management, portfolio management, risk analytics, and reporting capabilities to support future growth

Challenge

Building for growth? Manual processes made it difficult to scale with confidence

As a newly established investment management firm focused on ASEAN equities, Valverde brought deep market expertise and a differentiated investment approach to a fast-growing region. But as the firm prepared to launch and scale its operations, relying on manual, spreadsheet-based processes created challenges for efficiency, control, and long-term scalability. To support sophisticated investment strategies and meet the demands of a competitive market, Valverde needed a more robust operational framework. The firm faced a number of critical questions:

  • How do we move beyond spreadsheet-based trading and portfolio processes to a more institutional-grade operating model?
  • How do we support sophisticated, multi-asset investment strategies without adding operational complexity?
  • How do we strengthen risk oversight and data insight while maintaining the flexibility to deliver tailored client solutions?
  • How do we build an operational foundation that can scale with future fund launches and business growth?

They needed help replacing manual workflows with a modern investment management platform that could support both their immediate needs and long-term ambitions.

Solution

Partnering to create a scalable operating model

Valverde knew they needed more than a software solution to replace manual processes and support the launch of a growing investment business. They needed a trusted and transformative partner with the ability to understand the demands of a modern investment management operation, the flexibility to support sophisticated strategies across ASEAN markets, and the technology capabilities to deliver a scalable platform built for both current needs and future growth. Together, Broadridge and Valverde:

  • Evaluated the firm’s requirements across order management, portfolio management, risk analytics, and reporting to define a more efficient and scalable operating framework
  • Implemented Broadridge’s SaaS-based investment management platform to modernize key workflows and replace spreadsheet-driven processes with an integrated solution
  • Established a flexible operating environment that supports customized reporting, stronger operational control, and the scalability needed to support future fund launches and expansion

Benefits

A scalable foundation for modern investment management

Working together with our client, we were able to replace manual, spreadsheet-based processes with an integrated investment management platform that brings greater efficiency, control, and flexibility to Valverde’s operating model. By establishing a more robust framework for order management, portfolio management, risk analytics, and reporting, we helped create the operational discipline needed to support sophisticated investment strategies across ASEAN markets. Importantly, the solution provides the flexibility to adapt to evolving business needs while delivering the scalability required for future fund launches and growth. Together, we were able to transform a manual and fragmented process into a modern, institutional-grade operating environment that positions Valverde for long-term success.

“Demand is rising as ASEAN is increasingly recognized as a standalone investment asset class, and having proven operational technology in place is key to our ability to deliver our innovative investment strategies for years to come. Broadridge’s investment management solution provides the operational efficiency, flexibility and scalability we need to deliver bespoke client solutions at the scale the ASEAN market now demands.”
