CEMSThis paper makes a reflection on a CEMS Business Project performed to BPI with the aim of
understanding how can it increase its business as a depositary leveraging on its current structure
and IT platforms. I start make a quick overview of the problem, client and industry. Then, I
expose how we defined the problem, the methodology, the analysis and also the final
recommendation that was presented to the client in the form of a business plan. After, I reflect on
my personal contribution to the final output. In order to link the Business Project to my Masters
of Science I perform a comparison of UCITS funds with Hedge Funds, concluding that the
former have a lot of potential to grow given the clear advantages they present in comparison to
the latter. Lastly, I reflect on my strengths and weaknesses, how they have influenced the project
and how they have improved with it
