Pie Funds expands use of Bloomberg suite through adoption of PORT Enterprise

Bloomberg announced that Pie Funds, a specialist New Zealand investment firm, has adopted Bloomberg’s PORT Enterprise portfolio and risk analytics solution, complementing its existing suite of other Bloomberg buy-side workflow solutions.

The addition of PORT Enterprise to Pie Funds’ existing workflows – including Bloomberg AIM – enables Pie Funds to utilize an integrated end-to-end solution that covers the complete investment lifecycle, empowering them to gain deeper analytical insights on their portfolios and drive future growth.

As part of the implementation process, Bloomberg and Pie Funds collaborated with ICS to enable connectivity between PORT and ATHENA, ICS’ cloud native investment data platform.

Commenting on the expanded use of Bloomberg products, Mike Taylor, Pie Fund’s CIO and Founder, said, “We are pleased to build upon our existing suite of Bloomberg solutions as it is critical to us that our data and workflows operate efficiently and in complete harmony. By broadening our use of Bloomberg solutions, we can continue to respond to changing market dynamics and reporting requirements with confidence. We are also thrilled to be able to integrate third-party platforms without creating duplicative workflows and processes.”

Manju Sakhrani, APAC Head of Buy-Side Enterprise Sales at Bloomberg said, “We are privileged to work with a firm of Pie Funds’ quality to deliver this holistic solution. Pie Funds has a real appetite to move quickly and innovate, and their trust in Bloomberg’s products to manage workflows, risk management and the investment process is a tremendous vote of confidence.”

With 47,000 active users across 15,000 firms globally, PORT empowers clients to gain deeper portfolio insights through streamlined workflows that include intraday performance monitoring, historical performance attribution, risk forecasting and optimization.
