An Asia-headqaurtered asset manager ($750bn+ AUM) relied on fragmented spreadsheet-based carried interest calculations. This created inconsistency, operational risk and limited transparency. A more controlled and reliable approach was required.

alpha approach

Alpha worked with stakeholders across regions and functions to design a consistent and scalable solution aligned with operational and growth requirements. We iterated on calculations, reporting structures and user interactions based on operational input, ensuring the model reflected real-world processes and user needs. The solution was refined collaboratively throughout delivery, with alignment across teams helping to balance consistency, flexibility and control. This enabled a controlled transition to a scalable and reliable calculation model that supports ongoing growth.
