A SS&C Advent Case Study
Matthews International Capital Management, an advisor to the Matthews Asia Funds with $12.9 billion in assets under management, faced a failing 15-year-old legacy system that could not support its nearly 24-hour trading cycle, complex valuation policies, or the need for reliable real-time reporting and daily NAVs. To address scalability, stronger accounting functionality and automated workflows, Matthews selected SS&C Advent’s Geneva portfolio management solution.
SS&C Advent implemented and customized Geneva—integrating external data sources and aligning trade date, T+1 and settlement-date holdings—to deliver a powerful accounting engine, global security coverage and multi-currency support. The deployment (completed in under four months, on time and on budget) delivered improved accuracy and reliability, faster, detailed reporting for portfolio managers, streamlined reconciliation and validation of administrator pricing, reduced operational risk, and a scalable platform that positions Matthews for continued growth.
