CLSA Fund Services has developed its own bespoke platform known as Internal Management System (IMS). The IMS enables fund product management, client management, business procedure management, document management, risk management, operational data enquiry etc., throughout the product lifecycle.

For accounting and valuation, we use Advent Geneva. Advent Geneva is designed to support complex, multi-asset and multi-currency strategies, with built-in functions to support both open- and close-ended fund structures. Advent Geneva is the one solution that enables fund managers to trade in, account for and report on virtually any alternative fund type.

For Transfer Agency, we use Geneva World Investor. Geneva World Investor provides a single, centralised source for all investor data, including names, addresses, interested parties, and other attributes. It can track any investor’s investments across multiple funds, manage pending transactions, and designate per investment how long the subscription and associated appreciation should remain in a fund before it can be redeemed.

The Refinitiv World Check-One system enables due diligence screenings. The system simplifies screening for money laundering, sanctions and terrorist financing, enables detailed monitoring of Politically Exposed Person (PEP) relationships and networks, and is customizable to identify a variety of specific third-party risks.
