BOSTON, January 24, 2023–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Alternative Investments FinTech Dynamo Software, in partnership with Business reporter and Bloomberg, announced the release of a four-part Alternative Investments vodcast series. The video interviews, conducted by both Georgie Frost, award-winning freelance broadcaster and journalist, and Rachel Hicks, BBC-trained journalist, filmmaker and media trainer, are eight-minute segments spanning business issues facing limited partners (LPs) and general partners (GPs). . Each segment tackles specific challenges facing each audience and discusses how FinTech is transforming how alternative investors manage investment workflows.
A summary of each video follows.
Episode 1 | With Hank Boughner, CEO, Dynamo Software
Alternative investment technology must keep pace with the dynamic and ever-evolving world of work. Given the unique complexity of the industry, systems for data capture and collaboration are critical. With FinTech automation, new and seasoned investment professionals alike can leave tedious manual tasks aside to engage in more strategic endeavors.
“The best FinTech today combines the best of human capabilities with the best of technology, empowering teams to harness the power of automation,” said Boughner. “Investing in alternatives often means working through volumes of unstructured data, and it’s important to be able to collect, organize and extract the right insights at the right time.”

Episode 2 | With Matt Keller, VP, Product (Limited Partners), Dynamo Software
Many investment firms are drowning in an ever-growing flood of data. Embracing alternative investment FinTech solutions can empower LPs to save time, money—and team member morale—by introducing new levels of efficiency.
“Dynamo can help in a number of ways, one of which is our Dynamo Data Automation offering,” explained Keller. “We automatically collect cash flow statements for unstructured alternative investments, investor statements, etc. and then extract their key data points, eliminating the manual effort traditionally associated with doing this. Using FinTech, we synthesize information for our clients much faster to actionable formats.”

Episode 3 | With Danielle Pepin, Head of Product PMV, Dynamo Software
As ESG continues its mainstream evolution, regulators, investors and shareholders are demanding greater accountability. Organizations are becoming more concerned with complying with ESG standards, but the different data across the many fronts is a challenge that needs to be solved.
The investor’s priority is no small feat: understanding how to choose the right ESG framework that will support what the business needs to measure, while maintaining real-time access to audit-ready data. For firms in the alternative investment industry, the intensity of data volume and flow can be overwhelming.
“Many GPs, not just on the impact side anymore, but across all responsible investing, want to make a difference,” Pepin explained. “So, when they’re evaluating companies, they also want to see changes over time. Dynamo helps clients set and record intentions. We help clients choose a framework that helps them get started with data collection. And so, at LP -side, we understand that firehose of information.”

Episode 4 | With Steve Tobio, VP, Product (General Partners), Dynamo Software
Fund managers use phone calls, e-mails, web conferencing, text messages and in-person communications to maintain a tightly integrated relationship with their investors. Therefore, streamlining the communication process that makes it easy for their investors to consume critical information has become a key driver for all fund managers.
“Dynamo differentiates itself by offering a truly end-to-end solution,” said Tobio. “We start at the front of the fundraising process, where the initial communication happens, and then we take it all the way through the investor correspondence process to back-end accounting and financial reporting. Having all that wealth information in a single database makes the entire investment process extremely efficient for both fund managers and their investors.”
