Novus’ platform provides powerful insights into drivers of performance and helps us to have a deeper dialogue with our portfolio managers. The task of monitoring our portfolios has been made much easier through the flexibility of the system. Additionally, the support we have received, which is crucial to the adoption and success of any platform, has been exceptional.

Novus is instrumental in identifying and understanding the skill-sets and fundamentals within manager portfolios. In today's landscape, you can't get far without premier data and analytics. When you invest with a manager, you are trusting they perform incredible company-level research in order to develop a divergent view that captures excess returns. For us at Atom, we do that same level of research on our managers before we invest, and Novus is the foundation of this process.
