Clearwater Analytics Releases Results of 2014 Corporate Investment Peer Benchmark SurveyClearwater Analytics®, the leading provider of web-based investment accounting, reporting, and analytics for institutional investors, today announced the results and analysis of the 2014 Corporate Investment Benchmark Survey. The survey's 400+ respondents represented accounting and treasury professionals from a wide array of corporations with investment portfolios ranging from less than $100M to larger than $50B across more than 30 industries. It revealed what they thought about the current investment environment, how they perform key treasury, accounting, and investment reporting processes, and their investment allocation strategies. The report summarizes survey results, presents key findings on a wide variety of investment-related topics, provides insight into key challenges U.S. corporations face in these areas, and what they are currently doing to address them. Responses to the question "What are your biggest investment-related concerns?" were particularly illuminating, and illustrated four universal categories of challenges:
"The survey was designed to capture detailed information regarding the investment environment, key challenges corporate treasury and accounting teams face, and the operational side of investment accounting and regulatory reporting," said Tyler Haws, director of business development at Clearwater Analytics. "In seeing peers' responses, corporations can benchmark their own strategies, challenges, and processes to determine how they compare. Understanding internal challenges is the best step to take in solving them, and Clearwater is excited to provide the investment data corporate treasuries need to make better decisions, evaluate their strategies, and improve current processes."
