With Martin Jones and Christoph Napetschnig

Product data is no longer sitting in the back office of asset management firms.


In this episode of SenseCheck by FundSense, Martin Jones (Head of Product) speaks with Christoph Napetschnig (Head of Data) about why product data has become a growing challenge across the investment industry.


Today, product information flows across prospectuses, KIIDs, PRIIPs KIDs, SFDR annexes, distributor templates like EMTs and EETs, websites, and platforms. When data is inconsistent, the problem doesn’t stay in one place. It spreads quickly across documents, systems and distribution channels.


Martin and Christoph explore what product data really looks like inside most firms today, where it lives across the business, and why fragmented ownership and spreadsheet-driven processes often become the default.


They also discuss:

  • Why product data errors travel quickly across the ecosystem

  • The risks created by fragmented systems and unclear ownership

  • How ESG data has added new complexity

  • Why firms spend so much time reconciling data instead of improving it

  • How centralised product records, validation rules and structured workflows can change the way data is managed


For teams working in product management, operations, compliance or data governance, this conversation explains why product data is becoming a critical foundation for trust, distribution and regulatory confidence.
