Bank Of Bermuda and Advent Sign Strategic Technology Partnership
Bank of Bermuda's GFS division selected Advent's products after a full and structured review of the systems in the marketplace capable of supporting the sophisticated and complex needs of the alternative funds industry globally, placing particular emphasis on hedge funds.
Paul Smith, Head of Bank of Bermuda's Global Funds Services said, "As a renowned fund administrator to the alternative investments industry worldwide, we are delighted with the technological advancements that the €˜Geneva' and €˜Advent Partner' products offer us. This partnership further underpins our strategic focus on the alternative investments funds sector globally and commitment to providing the highest quality service."
Stephanie DiMarco, Advent's Chairman, commented, "We are delighted to be working with the Bank of Bermuda, and we are particularly excited about the long-term potential of this relationship.
We look forward to delivering products with even more dynamic processing capabilities and instrument coverage, as well as leading edge technological advancements to the global hedge funds arena."
David Smith, Global Head of Sales and Client Relationships at the Bank said, "Listening and responding to our clients is what sets the Bank apart from its competitors. By taking this approach, we have been able to identify the best products in the marketplace to suit their needs. This system will allow us to further customise our hedge fund product offering and better satisfy the complex requirements of our clients."
Advent's €˜Geneva' and €˜Advent Partner' systems have already been installed for a number of the Bank's existing North American clients in the New York office. The systems will be rolled out into the Bank's Dublin and New York offices during 2002, and Bermuda, the rest of Europe and Asia thereafter.
"This represents a significant building block in our technology strategy," said Simon Maclean, Bank of Bermuda's Head of Systems and Operations globally.
