Ledgex Systems, a provider of software solutions for funds of funds and multi-fund managers, has launched the next generation of its Ledgex portfolio management platform.

The integrated suite delivers liquidity management and manager research modules that give firms visibility into their existing and proposed portfolio liquidity options, in addition to research and analytics, the firm said in a statement.

For instance, the liquidity modelling utility and reporting engine generates every available option for accessing assets by processing each tranche and its respective trade characteristics with a manager’s liquidity terms. As such, the firm said that the platform can model more than 90 percent of the manager liquidity terms used in the industry.

“Increasingly complex fund and investment structures combined with changing regulations have dramatically shifted the liquidity and portfolio management requirements of fund of funds, institutional investors and other multi-fund managers,” said Brian Macallister, managing director at Ledgex Systems, when commenting on the need for a more advanced system.

In total, the new technology suite features four modules: Ledgex Portfolio Manager, Ledgex Manager Research, Ledgex Liquidity and Ledgex Investor Relations.

In this respect, the research module combines customer relationship management, document management and research management capabilities, with the entire portfolio management strategy. It also provides a tool to track firm-defined manager attributes, including exposures, allocation weighting, attribution, assets under management and investor concentration.
