Language and localisation in fund factsheet production

The ability to communicate effectively across different languages and cultures is s a growing necessity for asset managers but producing factsheets in multiple languages and localising content to meet regional requirements presents a significant challenge.

This complexity can lead to delays and inconsistencies, impacting the effectiveness of communication with international investors. How can asset mangers efficiently tackle the language and localisation needs inherent in today’s globe-spanning market?

The language barrier

Producing documents in multiple languages involves not just translation but the nuanced task of localisation, which includes adapting content to fit cultural contexts, regulatory environments and specific investor expectations in various regions. Each version of a factsheet must not only be linguistically accurate but also culturally and legally appropriate for its intended audience.

The manual process of coordinating translations and ensuring accuracy across different versions can be laborious and prone to errors. Misinterpretations or miscommunications in translation can lead to investor confusion and could potentially harm a fund’s reputation if the information provided is seen as unreliable or misleading.

The localisation complexity

Localisation extends beyond language translation to include the adaptation of data presentation to local standards, such as currency formats, date notations and regulatory disclosures. With our flexible template, you can also generate bespoke layouts more appropriate to local best practice.  

Streamlining multilingual factsheet production

To manage the demands of multilingual factsheet production, fund management groups need a robust system that can handle complex translation and localisation tasks efficiently.
