(www.advent.com, Nasdaq: ADVS) is a multi-national company providing solutions to the world's leading financial professionals since 1983. Firms in 50 countries using Advent technology manage investments totalling more than EUR 8 trillion. Advent has presence in the US and across Europe. With its two core product lines – Geneva® and Advent Office® - Advent targets asset managers, hedge funds, fund administrators and prime brokers as well as wealth managers including family offices and private banks of any size. Geneva® is Advent's real-time portfolio accounting and fund administration system targeted at large institutions that primarily subscribe to a best-of-breed approach. Geneva's key strengths lie in the system's extreme scalability/system performance, ease of use and comprehensive instrument coverage. According to Advent, this puts Geneva® in a unique position to be used as a migration platform for global systems consolidation efforts in the global asset management and fund administration sector. Its support for rapid processing of complex transactions contributes to Geneva's strong position in the alternative investment/hedge fund industry as well as institutions servicing this sector (e.g. Advent claims to have an impressive +50% market share among the global Prime Brokerages as well as being the leading provider to fund administrators in the alternative space). Advent Office® is an integrated suite of applications designed to address the wall-to-wall requirements of wealth managers such as family offices and private banks of any size, as well as asset managers and hedge funds with less complex strategies. Advent Office® is covering the entire investment management value chain, including portfolio modelling, trading & order management, pre- & post-trade compliance, portfolio management, client & management reporting, as well as CRM functionality tailored for investment managers. Advent claims that with its more than 6000 institutions on the client list, Advent Office® is the most widely used investment management solution.
