Advent’s Global Investment Management and Accounting Solution
In today’s investment environment, there is no room for wasted cost. Operational efficiency is paramount. Yet for many firms, the increasing complexity of global investment instruments, increased regulation, and higher trade volumes have led to more manual processing, not less.

Geneva®, Advent’s global investment management and accounting solution, delivers the power and agility to tackle these investment challenges, and many more. It gives investment professionals the real-time information they need and the back office power, efficiency, and ease of use to integrate with other systems. Geneva's comprehensive instrument coverage, integrated general ledger, and fund structures functionality empower firms to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to accounting for new investment vehicles, strategies, and multi-tiered fund structures.  Geneva highlights include:

Geneva was designed with input from some of the most demanding investment firms in the world, with an eye toward dramatically increasing operational efficiency in high volume, 24x7 operating environments. As a result of Geneva’s architecture, firms report cost savings of up to 40% across their operations.  Geneva is the undisputed leader in hedge fund accounting and reporting software. 

Unmatched Operational Efficiency
Every aspect of Geneva’s architecture was designed to maximize operational efficiency.  Specialized securities and transactions bring side-systems and manual processes to an end.  Dynamic error correction ensures that changes that once took hours to implement can now be done in seconds. Customer queries and reconciliation requirements can be analyzed in real time, rather than requiring days of research and analysis. With real-time processing and an integrated general ledger, there are no batch cycle delays. Geneva eliminates steps and dramatically streamlines investment operations, resulting in lower operating costs, more accurate investment data, and improved access to information.

Incomparable Scalability and Flexibility: A System for Today and Tomorrow
The only predictable element of the financial services marketplace is its increasing complexity and higher volumes. With Geneva’s open accounting structure, new instruments can be added with ease, so there’s no need to return to the days of manual workarounds. 

Geneva’s in-memory, high performance database accommodates increased volumes without sacrificing speed, so system limitations will never impede your business growth. And Geneva’s flexible data structures, open-ended reporting capability, and easy integration mean that your application can evolve with your business. 

Perhaps most importantly, Geneva is developed and supported by Advent Software, a company with more than a 20 year track record of continued investment in portfolio management systems. Portfolio management isn’t ancillary to Advent’s business, it is Advent’s business, and Geneva’s continuing advancement reflects that commitment.
