Run Distribution on data you trust without waiting for Finance to produce it
Room Zero gives Distribution teams direct access to the same trusted AUM, Revenue, and client-level data that Finance uses for board reporting. So every client conversation, RFP response, and commercial decision starts from a number you can stand behind.
Trusted by Distribution and Finance teams at leading UK investment managers
This is what running a distribution function looks like without the right data
A mandate comes in. You need accurate AUM by client, by product, by share class, for the last three years. Finance is in month-end. You're waiting.
A client calls, you pull their data. Finance has different figures, but no one knows which set is right.
You agreed a commercial arrangement months ago. You still don't know what it's doing to your margin. You'll find out at year-end, if at all.
All of this is what happens when the data infrastructure underneath your commercial operation was never built to give you what you need. Room Zero changes that.
Teams left guessing vs one golden source of truth
Without Room Zero, Finance and Distribution work from different data, on different timelines, and find out where they disagree the hard way. Here's what changes.
From raw data to commercial intelligence, automatically
Room Zero produces a finance-grade golden source of AUM and Flow for every product and client: reconciled automatically to Fund Accountant NAVs and delivered daily.
Automatically handle multi-level structures, double-counting, platform look-through. Slice by investment strategy, sales team, channel, or asset class. See concentration risk by client. View Gross, Direct, and Managed at any grain your business needs.
Building directly on the AUM & Flow foundation, Room Zero automatically calculates management fee revenue, cost of sales, and net revenue across every product, channel, and client relationship – in both currency and basis point terms.
Every discount, rebate, and distributor fee is captured and applied. See the real margin impact of every pricing agreement before it becomes a year-end surprise. Which clients are actually profitable? Which channels generate real return once cost of sales is applied? Room Zero makes that visible.
When rebates are calculated by a third party, you have no guarantee they're right. Room Zero consumes the actual invoices and reconciles them against its own accruals.
So if a rebate has been miscalculated or a client has been overbilled, you know before it becomes a client service problem.
How Room Zero changes your daily workflow.
Commercial autonomy
Direct access to the same trusted AUM and Revenue data Finance uses for board reporting, without raising a request. The numbers you need to run your book are available when you need them.
Real margin visibility
Net revenue and net margin at the level of every client relationship, including every discount and rebate applied. Know what your book is actually earning before you make a commercial decision.
Client and channel intelligence
Daily AUM and flow data across every client, product, and channel. See concentration risk at any time. Tap into redemption risk from flow patterns, before a client tells you they're leaving.
RFP and DDQ efficiency
AUM, Flow, and Revenue figures available on demand from the same source Finance uses for regulatory reporting. The number that answers a client question is the same number that goes to the board.
Get up and running without disruption
Room Zero doesn't require you to replace your existing infrastructure. It adds a calculation layer on top of it, connecting to the systems your Finance and Distribution teams already run, managing the data ingestion, and producing a single consolidated output.
