I recently returned from GAIM Ops Cayman 2025 with valuable insights on the operational challenges and opportunities facing alternative investment managers: The demand for dedicated managed accounts continues to grow as institutional allocators seek customized solutions that optimize treasury and collateral management, areas where specialized technology and expertise deliver significant value. Other key observations: 🔹 AI adoption varies widely across the industry, with firms focusing on upskilling existing staff due to the scarcity of specialized talent. Full automation remains distant, but progressive implementation is accelerating. 🔹 Cybersecurity approaches are evolving beyond designated roles (CTO/CISO) to foster organization-wide security cultures. Cloud migrations require careful configuration to avoid creating new vulnerabilities. 🔹 Regulatory uncertainty persists, but compliance priorities remain centered on conflict management, tailored programs, and information security. What stood out most was how the institutional landscape is driving technological innovation while simultaneously demanding greater transparency and control—precisely the value proposition that dedicated managed account structures deliver. Great conversations with fellow professionals navigating these complex challenges.
