Same-day settlement? Not so fast, says Broadridge's Danny Green. * INTERVIEW | Join Danny Green, head of international post trade at Broadridge at the upcoming PostTrade 360° conference, where he will discuss the practicalities of same-day settlement in a session provocatively titled Do DACSI really need same-day settlement? on 2 September. * Shortening the settlement cycle can bring clear benefits around risk reduction, capital efficiency and operational discipline - but it also creates new pressures.

The benefits of the SatuitSIP investor portal: what it does for your LPs and your team. August 18, 2026. The investor portal has become one of the most visible components of the investor experience in institutional asset management. LPs who have relationships with multiple fund managers now have a clear reference point for what a professional portal experience looks like, and the gap between the best and worst implementations in their portfolio is apparent to them even if they do not express it directly to managers. SatuitSIP is Satuit's secure investor portal, built as a native component of the SatuitCRM platform rather than a separately licensed product bolted alongside it. The distinction matters more than it might appear. Most of the operational benefits that make a portal genuinely valuable to both LPs and IR teams depend on the portal and the CRM sharing the same data layer, which standalone portal products cannot replicate regardless of their feature set. This post covers what SatuitSIP delivers for each audience it serves: the LP, the IR team, and firm leadership. What SatuitSIP Delivers for LPs. The investor experience delivered through SatuitSIP is designed around what institutional LPs, family offices, and sophisticated investors actually need from a portal relationship, rather than what a generic document repository can provide. 24/7 branded self-service access. LPs can access their fund documents, capital account statements, performance reports, investor letters, and communications at any time without contacting the IR team. SatuitSIP provides branded 24/7 access to account data, documents, and forms. For institutional investors managing portfolios of fund relationships, the ability to retrieve documents outside of business hours and without a dependency on a relationship manager's availability is a baseline expectation. Meeting it consistently is table stakes for institutional LP relationships. Failing to meet it creates friction that accumulates over the life of the relationship. Satuit Technologies Personalized investor views. Each LP sees only the information relevant to their specific fund participation. A pension fund invested in two of the firm's strategies sees the documents, capital account data, and communications for those two strategies specifically, not a generic firm content library. Document-level permissions enforce this personalization automatically based on the investor's CRM record, including any side letter provisions that affect what the investor is entitled to access. Current capital account data. Through SatuitCRM's integrations with portfolio accounting systems including Eagle PACE, Addepar, Advent, Charles River Analytics, and Broadridge, capital account data including committed capital, called capital, uncalled capital, distributions, and current NAV is available in the portal without manual upload. LPs see data that reflects the accounting system's current state rather than the last time someone ran an export. Secure document delivery with confirmation. Capital call notices, distribution notices, K-1s, and other time-sensitive documents are distributed through the portal with delivery confirmation. For documents where the firm needs to demonstrate that an investor received and accessed information, the portal's delivery tracking creates that record automatically. Professional firm branding. SatuitSIP is white-labeled to present the firm's identity. LPs log into a portal that looks like the manager's platform, not a third-party vendor's interface. For firms where brand professionalism is part of the investor experience proposition, the branding consistency across every investor touchpoint, including the portal, matters. Mobile-accessible experience. The portal is accessible from mobile devices with an experience comparable to the desktop version. For investors who need to access documents while traveling or in meetings, mobile accessibility is a practical requirement rather than a nice-to-have. What SatuitSIP Delivers for the IR Team. The benefits that SatuitSIP delivers to the IR team are largely invisible to LPs but operationally significant for the firm. Most of them flow from the portal's native integration with SatuitCRM. LP engagement data in the relationship record. Every portal login, document access, and communication engagement generates an activity record that flows directly into the investor's CRM relationship file. A relationship manager who opens an investor record can see not only the meeting and call history but also when the investor last logged in, which documents they accessed in the most recent quarter, and whether their portal engagement has changed over time. This behavioral data layer provides investor intelligence that no other source captures. This data is the foundation of proactive retention monitoring. An investor whose portal login frequency has declined significantly over the past two quarters, while their email open rates have also dropped, is exhibiting a pattern that the integrated CRM surfaces as a relationship health signal before it becomes a formal redemption conversation. Eliminated document distribution overhead. Before a portal, quarterly report distribution meant attaching PDFs to emails, managing distribution lists, tracking who had received what, and handling individual investor requests for documents that had been sent previously. With SatuitSIP, the IR team publishes documents to the portal once and they are immediately accessible to all investors with appropriate permissions. Follow-up requests for previously distributed documents are handled by the investor self-serving from the portal rather than the IR team responding individually. Compliance audit trail for document delivery. The portal creates an automatic record of every document published, every document accessed, and every investor who has been given access. For firms that need to demonstrate document delivery for regulatory purposes, the portal's audit trail supports that requirement without requiring manual record-keeping. Bulk data updates through the API. SatuitSIP includes built-in integration tools and a bulk API to update investor account data on scheduled cadences. For firms managing large numbers of investor records, the ability to update capital account data across the full investor base on a scheduled basis without manual record-by-record updates reduces the operational overhead of keeping portal data current. Satuit Technologies Reduced routine IR team workload. The hours that IR teams spend responding to routine investor information requests, sending documents that are already in the system, and fielding questions about capital account balances are hours that a well-implemented investor portal recovers for higher-value relationship management activity. The portal does not replace the relationship. It handles the transactional layer so the relationship manager can focus on the relational layer. What SatuitSIP delivers for firm leadership. At the firm level, SatuitSIP contributes to several outcomes that leadership cares about directly. Investor experience quality as a competitive signal. The portal is the most visible component of the investor experience that LPs encounter outside of direct relationship conversations. A professional, branded, functional portal signals operational maturity to institutional investors and their operational due diligence teams. Firms that cannot offer this experience are visibly behind the standard that LPs with multiple manager relationships have come to expect. Retention through consistent engagement. The portal engagement data flowing into SatuitCRM gives leadership visibility into investor engagement patterns across the full book rather than depending on relationship manager reports of how individual relationships feel. Systematic engagement monitoring supports the investor retention programs that protect AUM by identifying and addressing disengaging relationships before they become formal redemption conversations. Scalable IR capacity. The portal allows the IR team to serve a growing investor base without proportionally growing headcount. As AUM increases and the LP count grows, the portal handles the increasing volume of document requests, statement access, and routine communication that would otherwise require additional IR staff. Pricing clarity. Unlike standalone portal products that are licensed separately from the CRM and add to the total cost of the technology stack, SatuitSIP is included in the SatuitCRM Premium and Enterprise tiers. There is no separate portal license, no separate implementation project, and no ongoing integration maintenance cost between two independent systems.
