Universal Reconciliation for Global Investors

Reconciliation is one of the biggest hassles in investment management. Or at least it was, until now. Geneva® Advantage, a universal reconciliation system integrated with Geneva, allows you to import and reconcile data from any source to any other source, not just Geneva. With Geneva Advantage, you can:

• Define complex, flexible matching rules
• Auto-approve perfect matches
• Update Geneva data when data is missing or is in error
• Choose from predefined integration points
• Create and customize your own data sources for reconciliation

Geneva Advantage focuses on position, transaction, and cash reconciliation between Geneva and a range of counterparty firms. Designed to support each firm’s unique operational needs, it provides great flexibility to define rules for reconciling, managing exceptions, and reviewing and approving reconciliation information. Easy to install, it’s an add-on module that functions as a seamless extension of the Geneva desktop.

Exception Management

When breaks or exceptions are found, Geneva Advantage provides you with the ability to create a case with notes. Cases can be assigned to users and are carried forward each day. Geneva Advantage also provides support for customizable approval workflow:

• Two tier review and approval process for reconciliation
• Detailed audit trail containing history of records and approvals

Data Sources for Reconciliation

Geneva Advantage works with Advent Custodial Data (ACD) and the hundreds of custodial data providers that provide position and transaction files via this service. Additionally, the Geneva Advantage Connection Toolkit, which consists of a packaged set of loaders and interfaces to the largest U.S. and EMEA-based prime brokerage systems, supports reconciliation of cash, transactions, and positions.
