Successes
Capco’s strategic insight and specialist domain expertise translates into success for our clients.

Major international wealth manager
A client was seeking to identify geographic opportunities and the most appropriate market entry strategies. Capco developed a data driven three step filter process to assess the relative attractiveness of each potential market and narrowed results to reach a short list of three target markets for geographic expansion. Capco assessed potential market entry strategies and determined the most appropriate entry strategy for the three chosen markets.

Institutional asset manager
A client wanted to improve infrastructure in the Middle and Back Office, IT, Client Reporting, Performance Measurement and Finance, to provide a suitable platform to manage the risks of their business and support future business growth. Capco conducted a risk review of Operations, IT, and specific areas of Finance that impacted Front Office performance.

Global trading services provider
A client had lower than desired margins due to significant manual activity levels. Capco proposed a 3 year program with a target 32% operational efficiency benefit. These efficiency benefits would yield a break-even for the client against the implementation cost within four years.
