Bespoke RFP Support for Asset Management

With over a decade of experience in supporting asset managers with their RFPs, request for information (RFI) and due diligence questionnaire (DDQ) requirements, Acuity Knowledge Partners is well placed to respond to asset management RFPs, including institutional, retail, and retirement plan RFPs, RFIs, and quarterly and annual DDQs.

We also review and analyse content databases in their as-is states and provide recommendations for fully capturing their potential. In addition, we support with content restructuring to ensure better tagging, archiving and overall usability. These include Qvidian RFP support, Qvidian alternatives, asset management DDQ automation and knowledge management RFPs.

Customer Testimonials

The standard of responses and efficiency from the team was second to none. Having read the DDQ prior to sending, it is worth noting that the quality was really impressive and this wasn’t just noticed by me.

Business Development Manager, Institutional Sales Support

US private global asset manager

The team is excellent at questioning data and asking questions when something is uncertain. The team takes a proactive approach to identifying issues and challenges, and is very talented when it comes to understanding the intricacies of the various databases. During quarter end, we especially appreciate the progress updates.
