The processes they create to respond to these ongoing challenges are as varied as the allocators and the managers themselves. Our survey shows that as allocators continue to aggressively expand into the complex world of alternative investments, they generally agree investment in technology could reduce operating costs, improve efficiencies, and increase accessibility. ---   **\*56% of Allocators are planning to invest in automated data gathering and processing applications in the next 12 months**   **\*38% of Allocators admit they need to improve their ability to garner insights in real-time**   **\*Allocators expect a 36% decrease in operating costs and an increase in efficiency after investing in a technology and data solution** ## Download White Paper ![Register](https://www.allocator.com/hubfs/Newsletter%20Banners%20and%20Images/down-arrow-small.svg) ## Our Customers ![NOTZ-STUCK-01-2](https://www.allocator.com/hubfs/HedgePo_August2020/images/NOTZ-STUCK-01-2.png?noresize) ![ANTARTICA-01-2](https://www.allocator.com/hubfs/HedgePo_August2020/images/ANTARTICA-01-2.png?noresize) ![Kruger](https://www.allocator.com/hubfs/HedgePo_August2020/images/Kruger.png?noresize) ![lombard-odier-01-2](https://www.allocator.com/hubfs/lombard-odier-01-2.png?noresize) ![Nikko-01](https://www.allocator.com/hubfs/HedgePo_August2020/images/Nikko-01.png?noresize) ## Who are Allocator Allocator is a software and data-as-a-service company, providing integrated data management, analytics and workflow solutions to the alternative investments industry.
