Start with DDQs. Scale to what matters to your fund.
How a Sydney fund manager deployed BackPro on their Azure VPC to turn days of DDQ work into hours — using their actual fund documents, compliance records, and performance data. Built specifically for Australian financial services.
If you manage investor communications, you've likely seen:
Manual data entry across 200+ questions, hunting for answers across systems
Last quarter's performance data in this month's RFP, outdated team bios
Investment team too busy to respond to routine IR requests quickly
eVestment, Mercer, Preqin profiles outdated, costing pitch opportunities
No centralised response library, every analyst does it differently
BackPro is designed to reduce these bottlenecks without changing who reviews, who approves, or who owns accuracy.
Unlike generic AI tools, BackPro is built specifically for Australian financial services
Your fund fact sheets, compliance records, DDQ response history — not demos or sample data. Deployed on YOUR Azure/AWS/GCP environment, not BackPro servers.
"We wanted to explore AI ourselves. Getting you involved helps us understand more about AI and the huge amount of data that we've got."
Most funds start with DDQ automation. Prove ROI before expanding. Days → Hours on every DDQ. Focus beats trying to automate everything at once.
"Let's be more focused. We can give you a lot more data on a specific area, and when we use it, it can give us a lot more value."
You don't just get software — you build AI capability. Understand what AI can actually do in your business. Knowledge that serves you beyond any single platform.
"What BackPro has brought to Selector is just how much more we've got to learn. It's no use just reading a magazine or playing with generic AI tools."
Investment research automation, regulatory reporting, market intelligence monitoring. Additional use cases as your team is ready.
"There are particular targeted applications we could work on. That'd be another thing that we could do."
Based on Sydney fund manager deployment
Experience the platform yourselfFunds typically use BackPro to:
Upload your fund's DDQ response history, factsheets, and policies. BackPro generates first-draft responses to new DDQs, citing source documents for verification.
BackPro learns from your successful RFP responses and generates consistent, on-brand content for new opportunities, cutting response time from weeks to days.
Generate consistent performance commentary, market updates, and portfolio attribution reports using your approved templates and current data.
IR team asks BackPro questions like "What's our ESG policy?" or "How did we describe our risk process in the last DDQ?" and gets instant, sourced answers from approved fund documents.
Human review and compliance sign-off remain mandatory.

You keep your templates, approval workflows, and data sources. BackPro integrates without disrupting existing systems.
90-minute discovery to understand your IR workflow, data sources, and approval processes. We map your existing DDQ library, factsheets, policies, and past RFPs.
DDQ responses, performance data, investment process descriptions, and fund policies are loaded into your own isolated AI instance. No data shared with other clients or public AI services.
IR analysts and operations staff receive training on how to validate AI outputs, when to escalate, and how to maintain the response library.
Most funds start with a DDQ pilot before expanding to RFPs and reporting.
How a boutique Australian equities manager deployed BackPro Executive on their Azure VPC
"What BackPro has brought to Selector is just how much more we've got to learn, which is probably a highly valuable insight. It's no use just reading a magazine or playing with generic AI tools yourself. That's level zero capability. You're operating at a much higher level, and we can see now the value of understanding this much more clearly."

If your COO, CIO or Managing Partner needs comfort around risk and governance first, we've made that easy.
"We went from 16-hour DDQ turnarounds to 4 hours. The accuracy actually improved because we eliminated copy-paste errors and version control issues."

"The biggest win was getting our eVestment and Mercer profiles updated consistently. We were losing pitch opportunities because our data was 6 months stale."
Operations Manager

"Our PMs used to hate getting pinged for DDQ answers. Now the IR team has a knowledge base they can query themselves. Everyone's happier."
