Definition: Back office alignment refers to asset managers ensuring that essential back office functions like accounting, IT, settlement, and compliance are performed in a way that supports the asset manager’s broader strategic goals.
Example: If an asset manager pursues a strategy that depends on fast decision-making, the firm may employ shadow accounting services to ensure front office teams have earlier access to accurate data about portfolios.
