Fund administration

SS&C GlobeOp (Real Estate)

SS&C Technologies is a financial technology and outsourced services company, and GlobeOp is the brand it puts on fund services. Under that name it offers fund administration, fund accounting and NAV calculation, financial reporting, investor services and an investor portal, middle office services covering trade capture, reconciliation and portfolio valuation, transfer agency, and regulatory and compliance reporting for filings such as FATCA, AIFMD and Form PF. Family office services, registered fund services and retail alternatives are also sold under the GlobeOp name.

The services are paired with software SS&C owns and operates, which is the company's central pitch: Advent Geneva for multi-asset portfolio accounting and investor reporting, Black Diamond for wealth, Eze Eclipse for order and execution management, Singularity for insurance accounting, Intralinks and VDRPro for deal workflow and virtual data rooms, and risk and performance analytics tools. That spans front, middle and back office for asset managers, hedge funds, private markets, banking, insurance, retirement and wealth clients.

SS&C was founded in 1986, was taken private with The Carlyle Group in 2005, and returned to the public market in 2010 trading on NASDAQ under the ticker SSNC. It acquired GlobeOp Financial Services in 2012, along with 70+ acquisitions in total including Advent Software, Intralinks, DST Systems and Eze Software. It reports 23,000 clients and 29,000 employees, and lists 100+ offices in 35 countries, with its headquarters on Lamberton Road in Windsor, Connecticut.

The pages crawled describe fund administration generically and say nothing specific about real estate fund accounting, property-level reporting or pricing. Ask which SS&C entity and service team would run a real estate vehicle, what the reporting package includes at the property level, and how fees are calculated.

Best for

Institutional sponsors and fund managers who need outsourced NAV, investor servicing and regulatory reporting at scale, on the administrator's own accounting platforms. Oversized for a sponsor running one or two small funds.
