SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:SSNC), a global provider of financial services software and software-enabled services, today announced the establishment of its real estate investment trust (REIT) servicing group. The solutions and services team provides multiple services to the REIT market.
Customers turn to SS&C for its unique expertise, world-class technology and more than 10 years of experience and leadership in Mortgage REIT accounting and reporting. The new servicing group's focus is on the expanding area of Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) and Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS).

"As the only integrated Mortgage REIT end-to-end solution, SS&C continues to lead the way by providing Mortgage REIT clients with enhanced capabilities. We're establishing processes and controls around the accounting for complex structured instruments, collateral management, GAAP compliance, REIT compliance and SEC disclosures to ensure they have the tools needed to succeed."
SS&C's REIT servicing offering includes operational assessments, comprehensive audit capabilities, fixed income and trading, collateral management and MBS portfolio management, accounting and reporting. All of these services are underpinned by dedicated client services professionals, including technical accounting, consulting and development with specific Mortgage REIT expertise.
