Twenty‑five DDQs a month. An afternoon.

Manage investment portfolios for institutional and wholesale clients. Where FUM exceeds the AASB threshold, mandatory climate disclosure obligations arrive in the annual report. BackPro answers the DDQs, evidences the operations, and drafts the disclosures.

Three pressures every fund manager already feels.

  • Pressure 01

    Twenty to thirty DDQs land each month.

    Each one demands fund docs, holdings, performance, ODD, and compliance records. Five to ten business days is industry standard. Late means lost mandate, not late.

  • Pressure 02

    AASB S1 and S2 are auditor‑tested, not commentary.

    Climate and sustainability disclosures are mandatory for Group 1 entities from FY2025–26. Auditors trace every claim to underlying evidence. The narrative is the easy part. The trail behind it is the work.

  • Pressure 03

    CPS 230 made every critical operation provable.

    Operational risk register, third‑party arrangements, §36 notifiable events. The trustee carries the accountability and APRA reads the evidence pack, not the prose.

A quarter, in plain words.

01 · Mandate

Investor reporting, performance commentary, attribution across asset classes, holdings transparency for the institutional side of the book.

02 · Diligence

Twenty to thirty DDQs land each month. Each demands fund docs, holdings, performance, ODD, and compliance records. Five‑to‑ten‑day turnaround is industry standard. Late means lost mandate.

03 · Operational risk

CPS 230 critical operations, third‑party arrangements, §36 notifiable events. The auditor’s framework for everything the firm depends on to function.

04 · Disclosure

AASB S1 and S2 climate and sustainability disclosures land in the annual report from FY2025–26 for Group 1 entities. Auditor‑tested, not commentary.

The honest FAQ.

The six questions every fund manager asks within the first ten minutes of a private demo. Answered the way we’d answer them in the room.

BackPro learns each client’s question structure. The same answer text is mapped to whatever format the institutional client requires: PDF, Word, branded template, or online portal. The underlying retrieval and citation is shared; only the rendering differs.

Every answer cites to the underlying fund document with paragraph‑level precision. The compliance officer doesn’t trust the AI; they verify the citation. Same evidentiary standard as a human draft, with a faster turnaround.

BackPro picks up the new versions automatically. Future DDQs reflect the change. Past DDQs are versioned and timestamped to the documents that were live when they were drafted, so the audit trail stays consistent.

AASB S1/S2 disclosures will be drafted from your operational data with citation to source. Auditor traces every disclosure claim to its underlying evidence. The disclosure drafter is on our build roadmap; today, Compliance Mapping handles the standard‑to‑control side.

Stays in your tenancy. BackPro runs inside your environment, document never leaves your perimeter, and there’s no third‑party data egress. The compliance officer’s sovereignty question is answered before the model runs.

DDQs and RFPs share the same retrieval engine today. ODD and quarterly investor letters are on the build roadmap (see the section above). Tell us which one is most painful and we’ll prioritise the build.

The system paid for itself in the first quarter. We’re now responding to DDQs faster than our competitors with larger teams, and our compliance officer actually trusts the outputs because every claim includes source documents.
