Finding AI Alpha in Fund Administration
Outperforming competitors via structured fund data, intelligent orchestration, and purpose-built AI agents
By Team DwellFi
Fund administration pioneers are achieving AI Alpha by leveraging purpose-built solutions specifically designed for private markets, orchestrating multiple best-in-class models beyond a single ecosystem, and deploying autonomous agents and workflows that transform manual processes — freeing their human talent to focus on strategic, high-value work.
Horizontal AI vs. Vertical Solutions
The Five Pillars to Generate AI Alpha
Pillar #1 - Technical Team with AI Expertise
Specialized engineers who understand both AI capabilities and fund administration requirements.
Pillar #2 - AI-Ready Structured Fund Data
Transforming complex financial data into structured, queryable formats that AI can analyze effectively.
Pillar #3 - Multi-Model LLM Integration
Leveraging diverse AI models from various vendors to optimize performance for specific tasks.
Pillar #4 - AI Workflow Engines
Automating complex, multi-step operations with conditional logic across disparate systems.
Pillar #5 - Agentic AI Orchestration Layer
Autonomous agents that complete complex, non deterministic tasks without constant human oversight.
The "Do Everything" AI Myth
Many organizations fall into the trap of treating AI as a universal solution – assuming that subscribing to a general-purpose AI platform will solve all their challenges. This fundamental misunderstanding undermines the potential for true competitive advantage.
"AI is not one thing. It's a set of tools that can be applied in many domains. The most value will come from those who deeply understand a particular industry and can apply AI to solve its unique problems."
- Andrew Ng
Renowned AI Pioneer and Founder of Google Brain
Here's why horizontal AI falls short when it comes to industry-specific needs, especially in one such as fund administration and private markets:
Missing Industry Context
Generic models lack critical fund administration knowledge
Last-Mile Quality Issues
Outputs require significant human correction
Hallucination Risk
Higher likelihood of plausible but incorrect financial answers
Prompt Engineering Burden
Requires expertise to craft effective requests
Feature Limitations
Query-focused, not built for automation of fund workflow
Single-Model Constraints
Limited to one vendor instead of best-in-class for each task
