Case Study: Distressed Debt Hedge Fund achieves global access and reduced IT burden with SS&C Technologies' Geneva via Advent Outsourcing Services

Distressed Debt Hedge Fund - Customer Case Study

Distressed Debt Hedge Fund, a $2.5 billion global specialist in emerging markets distressed debt, needed a more direct support relationship and secure, anytime/anywhere access to its core portfolio system while reducing its IT footprint. The firm was already using Geneva but wanted SS&C Technologies to host Geneva® via Advent Outsourcing Services so teams across New York, London and other locations could access portfolio data without VPNs and the firm could avoid managing hardware.

SS&C Technologies implemented Geneva® through Advent Outsourcing Services, assigning dedicated application and network resources and completing the migration in about three months from signing to go‑live on an upgraded release. The hosted solution delivered full Geneva functionality in a managed environment, faster issue resolution via a single support line, worldwide access for investment teams, and allowed the fund to focus on portfolios rather than systems—meeting and exceeding the client’s expectations.
