About the Research
Asset Managers by Country (%)
On behalf of State Street, Longitude conducted a global survey of senior executives at investment organizations during October and November 2014. We asked them to self-assess their confidence and progress across six data capabilities, including infrastructure, insight, adaptability, compliance, talent and governance. The 400 respondents were drawn from 11 countries and included insurance companies, private and public pension funds, fund-of-funds, foundations, central banks, endowments, sovereign wealth funds and supranationals. Two hundred asset managers participated in the survey.

Why Data Innovators Are Pulling Ahead of the Competition
5
The Innovator’s Advantage
1. Robust, tightly integrated data infrastructure
2. Ability to join dots on data yields new insights
3. Adaptive architectures meet new business needs faster
4. Global solutions that are ready for regulatory change
5. World-class data and analytical talent
6. A sophisticated approach to data governance
Key Characteristics Marking Innovators Apart
• Innovators see data and analytics as the single most important strategic priority
• They invest more in technology — and translate this into a competitive advantage
• They can take regulatory compliance in their stride, so technology investments focus on value-adding activity
• They are exploring cutting-edge tools including big data and advanced analytics, and hiring data scientists to drive innovation
Why Starters Get Stuck, and Movers Have Further to Go
• Legacy systems prevent organizations from gaining an integrated view of investment data
• Weak data governance leaves these organizations vulnerable to problems with data integrity and security
• More than half these organizations fear their systems will not keep pace with new regulatory requirements
