Who we are:

Vident Advisory serves as a valued partner to asset managers and sponsors, offering portfolio management, trading, operational, and capital markets expertise across indexed and active strategies.

Our platform enables clients to efficiently launch, operate, and scale investment strategies across multiple jurisdictions.

• Ongoing Operational Support
  • Assist with month-end and period-end processes, NAV support, portfolio reporting, and audit or regulatory data requests.
