1. About the Pronexus Fund Document System

This system supports the preparation of regulatory documents, including memorandums for investors and documents required by the Kanto Local Finance Bureau for the establishment and operations of investment trusts, such as securities reports. Launched in 2011, the system was developed for the purpose of reducing the workload needed to prepare such documents, particularly by asset management companies. Because it provides a single source of documentation and can be used for multiple purposes, the system offers convenience and security for users. As a result, many companies have chosen to use it.

Through the Pronexus Fund Document System, PRONEXUS will provide Toranotec the outsourcing services as an integral part of our system, specifically the processes involved in updating the securities reports it submits to the Kanto Finance Bureau. Details of this service are as follows.

2. Benefits of using the service: More efficient, accurate, and secure document production

1. Reduces time and labor involved in documentation, such as information sharing and collaboration

・Clients can reduce their workloads by having PRONEXUS handle the work involved in updating fund accounting data and qualitative information.

2. Increases verification efficiency and reduces mistakes during document production

・Documents are always managed using their latest versions, preventing mistakes resulting from file mix-ups and data entry from other funds.

・New and previous versions are displayed, allowing users to visually compare changed and unchanged content.

3. Centrally manages data in a highly secure environment

・Documents are managed under strict security conditions.

・Saved documents are stored in a central digital archive.

In the future, PRONEXUS plans to make improvements to its system processes through automated document updates and other features, with a view to bringing innovation to the market with even better services for stakeholders involved in investment trust management and marketing.
