Case Study: Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management achieves streamlined alternative-investment operations and enhanced data processing with eFront Invest (eFront)

Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management - Customer Case Study

Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management (SMAM), a Tokyo-based fund-of-funds firm with $86 billion in AUM and an Asia‑Pacific presence, needed a best-in-class compliance and data consolidation system to support future growth and to manage alternative investments that traditional-asset systems could not handle. The firm selected eFront and its eFront Invest solution to centralize alternative investments across asset classes and complex structures.

eFront implemented eFront Invest to streamline SMAM’s workflows, auditing and reporting, enabling consolidated data processing and smoother exchanges with stakeholders. As a result, eFront helped SMAM enhance data processing capabilities, improve operational monitoring and reporting efficiency, and scale its handling of alternative investments over time.
