It’s time to restrategise Sovereign Investment Funds.

The sovereign investment sector has always been unique when compared to other industries, despite partaking in and sharing the common attributes of investment management and private equity firms. But with a rise of disruptive forces bringing change to the sector - including broader trends such as political sensitivity - it is in dire need of digitalisation to stay afloat against the moving tide of sovereign wealth funds and institutional investors.

Central to this technological overhaul is not simply building on your firm’s own digital capabilities, but aligning with strategic partners that can sketch out a roadmap to keep you agile against your competitors. Given the rise of disruption in this sector, finding outlets for an investment strategy is the lifeforce of your business’ survival.

Innovate Your Services

Here at Lolly Co, we pride ourselves on being able to cope with the complex. By bringing together your current portfolio of real estate investments and data-driven insights via technology, we can negotiate new digital products and experiences for your customers.

Overhaul Your Operations

Digitalisation is no one-time-fix - your sovereign investment firm needs to constantly find outlets for technological renewal to stay competitive. This can be achieved via new operating models that reshape your management and delivery teams.

Rethink The Strategy

Accuracy might be possible via employee work, but human error and limited capacity for productivity can detract from efficiency. That’s why we focus our efforts on securing more technical and thorough investment processes for your separate legal entity.

On The Production Line

There’s two sides to every story - and this particular tale starts with the operations of your firm. The digitalisation process starts from the very heart of the firms, slowly altering the technology ecosystem fuelling their products and services, and then infiltrating their wide range of marketing and customer service capabilities at growing speed.

At the centre of this is not necessarily any specific technologies, but the introduction of a strategy tailored to your firm. By introducing the concept of a chief information officer, a roadmap for technological innovation can be produced that is specific to the firm and the businesses it serves, as well as the industry at large.

Transforming business models, locating opportunities for an efficiency boost, as well as sourcing cybersecurity is forecasted. From pension funds to SWFs, we have your future covered.

For The Customer

What your business can do for your customers is one flip of the coin. But understanding how to tailor this process of provision to your clientele’s needs and wants - including when they inevitably change with the emerging markets - is a specific outlet for digitalisation.

This centres around sourcing customer engagement via digital channels to promote a client-firm relationship throughout the entire customer journey. The shift towards solutions also needs to be addressed with firm-specific technology that can harness the true potential of your team and your business.

Sovereign investment firms might not be as customer-driven as alternative industries, such as the retail sector, but now more than ever the customer is always right.

Do You Dare Go Digital?

For those with an ear to the ground, this is also known as a Digital Transformation.

A Digital Transformation rethinks how you manage your employees, your clients’ and business’ data, and how you carry out your business operations. Or, in simple terms, a DT is the technological revamp your business needs to stay competitive.

The sovereign investment sector might anchor itself as unique when compared to other industries, but it is still set for the changes witnessed by a variety of other industries. In fact, more so than others, there is a renewed focus on securing competitivity in such a complex and bustling sector.

That, or it might not survive far into it.

Although specific technology is not pinpointed as is with other sectors, the focus here is on creating a technological culture that pivots on the need for transformation. With an operations-based alteration that is championed by a chief information officer, your entire firm can contribute to and benefit from the eventual digitalisation, whether it starts with your marketing or reinvigorates your core operations.

By kickstarting your technological future, your can pave the way for future digitalisation, and allow an evolution to occur naturally and at minimal cost to the business.

Put Personalisation At The Fore Of Your Business

Curate experiences dedicated to customer needs and preferences via a renewed marketing and sales department.

Rethink your operating models via digital capabilities that put the customer first and streamline your business, too.

Reboot your business and take on the latest challenges in the world of business, including regulations, costs and compliance. Slash your costs, boost conversions.
