Advent for Global Hedge Funds combines portfolio or fund accounting, trading, and partnership accounting in a single integrated solution. This integration allows for a single point of data capture, ensures more efficient operations and minimizes errors. Information is automatically updated throughout the system with each transaction, making accurate, reliable, real-time data readily available for decision making and investment reporting.

Advent's Global Hedge fund Solution includes Advent's newly developed Workflow Manager, a powerful integration platform that allows firms to easily and efficiently manage the workflows and data exchange between Geneva and other applications. The solution also features full integration with Advent's Moxy for order management and Advent Partner for partnership accounting. Advent for Global Hedge Funds gives managers of large, complex funds the speed, flexibility and functionality they need to gain a strategic advantage by delivering:

• Seamless integration of the portfolio accounting, trading and partnership accounting functions;
• Unmatched throughput for high trading volume across multiple instruments and currencies;
• Fast, flexible, accurate reporting capabilities and real-time information access;
• Rapid, global error correction and instant updating throughout the system; and
• Scalability to grow their business through new product offerings, and increased asset and trade volumes, without adding headcount.

At the core of the solution is Geneva, Advent's powerful real-time portfolio accounting engine. Geneva delivers the industry's only "main memory" database system, offering more accurate and flexible reporting, and eliminating batch processing and time-consuming error corrections. Geneva also unifies the general ledger and portfolio sub-ledgers, for real-time reporting and seamless, automated reconciliation.

"Through world-class technology and timely, successful implementations, Advent has proven itself as the market leader in the hedge fund industry, delivering unprecedented control to help firms build and sustain a strategic advantage in the fast-moving global market," said Peter Hess, Advent's senior vice president and general manager for Global Accounts.
