Fermat Capital Management is a specialty investment management firm recognized as a leader in managing portfolios of insurance-linked securities for institutional investors around the world. So when they wanted to improve operational efficiencies while preserving overhead through growth, FCM turned to a partner who could customize Salesforce to their unique business.

Fermat Capital Management’s team is empowered tools to collaborate with everyone on the same page and automation of previously manual tasks. Maintaining trade checklists for SEC compliance, tracking bond prices and a report object which can be updated by stakeholders are all helping FCM maintain a high-touch relationship with an increasing client roster.

Fermat had all of the data needed to make reports effective but lacked the automation to streamline generating financial, analytical, and compliance reporting. And now with a customized implementation, Fermat Capital Management stands poised to increase their performance.
