FactSet and Arcesium Launch Unified Tech Platform Targeting the Data Fragmentation Challenge in Asset Management
Industry Unification: Addressing Fragmented Workflows and Escalating Data Demands
FactSet and Arcesium have unveiled a new technology platform designed to bridge front, middle, and back office operations for asset managers. This partnership comes at a crucial time as firms navigate mounting data fragmentation and rapidly increasing regulatory compliance costs. According to FactSet, compliance costs for global asset managers have doubled over the past decade—a reflection of rising industry pressures and market complexity.
By leveraging both companies’ technological strengths, this unified platform aims to combat the long-standing challenges of integrating workflows and systems across all asset classes—public, private, and alternatives. For pension funds, family offices, and hedge funds, this move offers a single operational hub at a time when the need for integrated reporting and data consistency is more acute than ever.
Private Capital Growth Highlights Industry Transformation
FactSet’s recent data shows private credit continuing its sharp rise: record fundraising reached $198 billion in 2023, grew to $210 billion in 2024, and hit $124 billion in the first half of 2025 alone. Notably, a small number of mega-managers now account for 46% of capital raised, though they comprise less than 3% of total managers—intensifying the fight for top-tier assets.
| Year | Private Credit Raised (USD Billion) |
|---|---|
| 2023 | 198 |
| 2024 | 210 |
| 2025 (H1) | 124 |
Comprehensive Coverage: Single Source of Truth for Diverse Asset Types
This end-to-end solution stands out for its ability to handle a wide variety of asset types—from highly liquid public equities to bespoke private investments. By creating a "single source of truth" for investment and compliance teams, it promises enhanced transparency, easier compliance, and smarter portfolio monitoring across all classes. Asset owners and managers now face not just portfolio complexity, but also greater demands for data accuracy and faster reporting—issues this platform directly tackles.
Operational Efficiency: Platform Delivers Advanced Analytics and Data Consistency
FactSet’s robust data infrastructure pairs with Arcesium’s cloud-native technology to deliver a platform that’s flexible and interoperable—able to automate workflows and rapidly adapt to regulatory changes. This eliminates the silos historically found in middle and back office operations. EJF Capital’s co-CEO and CIO, Neal J. Wilson, emphasized how this integration improves performance analytics and portfolio management by providing consistent, high-integrity data flows across investment teams.
| Feature | Benefit |

Takeaway: A Step Forward in Investment Operations Amid Private Capital Boom
As private capital grows and portfolios become more diverse, unified data and workflow solutions like the FactSet-Arcesium partnership may define the future competitive landscape. The demand for seamless data integration is no longer just about operational efficiency—it’s becoming central to capturing new growth and staying ahead of regulatory and market changes. Asset managers looking to scale, reduce errors, and gain a competitive edge in reporting and compliance might find this partnership a glimpse of what’s next in financial technology.
