Frequently Asked Questions

What is cash management in a buy-side firm?

+

Cash management for buy-side firms refers to the process of monitoring and optimizing cash balances, executing payments and settlements, and ensuring sufficient liquidity for operational and investment needs.

Why is cash management critical for hedge funds and asset managers?

+

For hedge funds and asset managers, cash management is vital for liquidity, margin calls, settlements, counterparty and currency risk, idle cash, and overall operational efficiency and resilience. It is critical for preventing disruptions and maintaining investor trust.

What challenges do firms face with manual or spreadsheet-based cash processes?

+

Asset managers generate payments manually by working with banking portals or tedious paper-based processes. Both approaches are time-consuming and error-prone, involving manual entry of banking details across multiple accounts with no audit trail.

What types of payments are typically handled by buy-side cash management teams?

+

Buy-side cash management teams typically handle payments for acquiring investments, settling trades, managing operations, funding capital expenditures, making interest/dividend payments, managing collateral, and optimizing cash for further investment opportunities.

How are wire payments managed in buy-side firms?

+

Traditionally, buy-side firms manage wire payments by manually entering many sets of banking details (account numbers, BIC, IBAN, NCC and more) across beneficiary, custodian, and intermediary accounts. This process must be repeated every time, with no audit trail.

What are the key benefits of a modern buy-side cash management solution?

+

Benefits of a modern cash management solution include automation of repetitive workflows, higher overall efficiency, the ability to handle large transaction volumes more easily, seamless integration with SWIFT as well as internal systems, and stronger security with audit trails.

How does better cash management reduce operational and settlement risk?

+

Modernizing cash management significantly reduces the risk of manual errors that can result in settlement failure or accidently wiring an incorrect (and potentially irreversible) payment. It improves liquidity management for smooth operations. And it centralizes oversight for better overall control.

What is straight-through processing (STP) in cash management?

+

Straight-through processing refers to end-to-end automation of payment workflows. In other words, payments are completed without the need for manual intervention.

How does a cash management solution reduce failed or misdirected payments?

+

By automating workflows, cash management software helps reduce the risk of manual data entry errors that can result in settlement failure or payments made to the wrong entity. It also provides overdraft validation and counterparty validation to help avoid settlement failures.

How is the IVP Cash Management Solution different from traditional cash management solutions?

+

Unlike other cash management software, the IVP Cash Management Solution enables intelligent automation designed for the buy side, providing a comprehensive, fully customizable solution for processing payments, balance monitoring, and straight-through processing.

What role do SWIFT, APIs, and file-based integrations play in cash management?

+

SWIFT ensures secure international messaging and is vital for cross-border payments. APIs enable real-time, direct data exchange for visibility and control and they provide instant, granular data for forecasting. File transfers offer scheduled, batch-based data movement.

How are audit trails maintained for cash transactions?

+

The IVP Cash Management Solution creates full audit trails for all wires and other activities, all of which can be reviewed in a report with a time stamp filter.

Can firms support both domestic and cross-border payments from one platform?

+

Yes, the IVP Cash Management Solution provides a single platform for managing domestic and cross-border payments. It unifies all cash and security movements and FX payments.
