Confluence announces partnership with Manaos to provide SFDR reporting solution
Pittsburgh, PA, December 12, 2023 –Confluence Technologies, Inc. (“Confluence”), a global technology solutions provider helping the investment management industry solve complex investment data challenges, today announced a partnership with Manaos, a modular platform built to simplify how institutional investors centralise portfolio data, connect ESG information, and report on the sustainability of their investment.
Under the partnership, Confluence will provide an end-to-end SFDR solution to asset managers on the Manaos platform, including the production of European ESG Templates, and the provision of precontractual and periodic disclosures to end investors.
As global scrutiny of ESG performance intensifies, asset managers are being faced with mounting regulatory obligations and reporting requirements. We’re delighted to make our SFDR reporting solution available to clients on the Manaos platform, providing asset managers with a streamlined service designed to reduce the time and money needed to comply with this regulation, while increasing transparency to end investors.
Damian Handzy, Senior Product Manager, Confluence
We’re excited to be partnering with Confluence to expand Manaos’ regulatory reporting capabilities. With accurate and timely ESG reporting a growing concern for asset managers, this capability marks a critical step in achieving our vision of bringing the sustainability ecosystem together on a single interface, for more effective investment decision-making, analytics and reporting.
