Lightkeeper, a leading firm specializing in data, analytics, risk management, and reporting solutions for investment managers, has secured a noteworthy growth investment from PSG, positioning the company for accelerated innovation and expansion. With PSG’s backing, Lightkeeper stands to enhance its product offerings and elevate its service to the investment management sector. An integral part of this new phase includes appointing PSG senior advisor and industry expert Dean Schaffer as the new CEO.

A Strategic Vision for Innovation
The recent capital investment from PSG is set to greatly enhance Lightkeeper’s product development while maintaining superior client service standards. Lightkeeper’s top product, Portfolio Intelligence, consolidates data from numerous sources, enabling advanced queries, visualizations, and detailed reporting. Their Idea Analytics Software helps track investment ideas, offering behavioral and decision analytics, and smoothly integrates with current systems. This integration boosts data accessibility and automates manual tasks, highlighting Lightkeeper’s focus on using technology to improve efficiency and data-driven decision-making.
Dean Schaffer, previously heading the Capital Administration Division at Alter Domus after its acquisition of Investor Economics Assurance (IEA), brings extensive experience in expanding investment tech firms to Lightkeeper. Schaffer is confident Lightkeeper will play a key role in the investment management field, stressing the importance of data-centric decision-making. He points out that PSG’s software development skills and operational support will significantly benefit Lightkeeper’s growth and innovation.
With PSG’s support and Schaffer’s leadership, Lightkeeper aims to expand its product range while staying client-focused. This move reflects the broader fintech trend of using data and analytics to navigate changing financial markets. Lightkeeper’s dedication to innovation and client service addresses the growing emphasis on these aspects in the industry. The partnership with PSG promises a future where improved tools and services help investment managers achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness.
