What's New in Sesame - Q3 2024

Sesame is a living ecosystem that constantly evolves to meet the changing needs of asset owners, managers and advisors. Regular updates are a core part of this evolution, to ensure that you can benefit from the latest innovations and improvements. And today we are announcing our biggest product release since we launched Sesame 3.0.

Five years ago, we brought Sesame to market with two core principles in mind. We wanted to automate the manual, tedious data tasks that hold asset owners, advisors and manager back, by providing the most comprehensive analytics and reporting platform in the market. And we wanted to provide these capabilities with a user experience that investment professionals would love. 

These principles are helping us usher in a new era of investment management technology. And are the key reason this release includes a tool that allows you to interact with and analyse your data like never before, in addition to making the platform even easier to use. All on a foundation of industry-leading data integrity and security protocols. 

Here are the new features we are very excited to be launching:

1. Analyse with precision in a cloud-native Grid

Sesame Grid is an interactive analysis and financial modelling tool, built on a foundation of integrated data powered by the Sesame platform. Use our bank of templated reports with pre-defined assumptions or build your own models with automated metrics and intuitive formulas, to give you the power to answers the toughest questions you want to answer.

Direct integration with your data and analytics in Sesame allow you to alleviate the burden of manually updating models and analyses. Sesame Grid also provides you with a 360° portfolio view, through forward-looking analyses and tailored modelling that offers unmatched flexibility and interactivity. 

Common use cases include: multi-asset cash flow forecasting, private equity target asset allocation, portfolio rebalancing and more. 

*Soon to be available to all Sesame Enterprise users
