What performance analytics means for investment management companies
Investment management marketing for asset management firms operates under the SEC Marketing Rule (effective November 2022), with provisions covering performance presentation, hypothetical performance, testimonials, third-party ratings, and books-and-records retention. State-level adviser registration adds further constraints for smaller firms.
Empire325's measurement practice delivers marketing mix modeling (MMM), incrementality experiments, and conversion-lift studies. We answer the question CFOs actually ask: which marketing dollars are driving revenue, and which would we be fine without.
Investment Management is a regulated sector, which materially changes how performance analytics engagements have to be structured. Empire325 operates within the applicable compliance framework (FINRA guidance, supervisory review, and documented approval workflows) rather than around it. Programs are co-designed with your compliance counsel and chief compliance officer so that creative, distribution, measurement, and reporting all survive an audit. This is materially different from generic agency engagements that treat compliance as an afterthought and produce campaigns that get retroactively pulled or restricted.
For the canonical industry framing, see FINRA — Empire325 references that source-of-truth when building the measurement, attribution, and compliance baseline for every investment management performance analytics engagement. The methodology layer above it draws on Google Analytics Developers and our own production patterns from prior investment management engagements.
