Multiple regulations, including the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) and the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), impose strict requirements on documentation and transparency within the investment process. However, many investment firms struggle to meet these standards effectively.
Typically, only specific aspects—such as the minutes of investment committee meetings—are formalized. Other critical elements remain undocumented or are scattered across individual email inboxes, folders, and various storage systems. This leads to rudimentary permissions and version control, complicating compliance efforts.
When documentation of the investment process is needed, it is often assembled retroactively by gathering information from multiple individuals. This approach can be cumbersome, time-consuming, and unreliable, potentially resulting in significant compliance issues.
ResearchPool offers a centralized digital repository where calendar events, emails, notes, documents, and Excel sheets can be easily tagged, stored, and linked to issuer investment cases. This integration works seamlessly with Microsoft Office products—Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote—while providing robust permissions and version control. This efficient workflow is complemented with customizable case attributes, tasks, and notifications, allowing you to streamline your investment documentation process.
