We are Global Asset Management Standards, a non-profit created by industry professionals who share one simple belief: lack of common standards in the industry costs everyone time, money and efficiency. So, we decided to act. We work pro bono to design templates, standards and tools that make the industry run smoother. ### What are we doing? We are creating a freely accessible library of templates, data definitions, checklists, and best-practice guides, all designed to help fund managers, administrators, custodians, transfer agents, and other industry players to exchange information more easily. Our goal is simple: Support everyone in meeting regulatory requirements, improve efficiency across the value chain, cut costs, risk and waste, and, ultimately, make the industry better for investors. ### Why are we doing this? Because the challenges are real. Rising costs, increasing regulation, growing product complexity with liquid and private markets converging, and new competition from digital asset investments. So, instead of each company reinventing the wheel, we're offering one central platform with ready-to-use resources open to all and free of charge. ### Is it really free? It's completely free. Everything we produce is open source and publicly available. You don't need to give us anything to use it. Just click, download and use the resource that helps you. If you'd like to stay updated on when new material goes live, you can register your email for alerts. That's it. No catch. No hidden costs. No data sharing. Global Asset Management Standards is by the industry, for the industry. Together, we can build efficiency, reduce costs and risks, and make the fund industry stronger for everyone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## faqs.md *Source: floodgate/faqs.md* ## FAQs ### Who are we?
