AcadiaSoft: Solutions

AcadiaSoft’s Collateral Management platform replaces spreadsheets with a highly efficient platform that allows institutions to easily handle large and complex collateralized investments. AcadiaSoft enables smooth information transfer among investors, brokers, and custodians by providing data links and a common interface platform. In a world where the prevailing method of communication is still telephone calls and faxes, this type of productivity enhancing tool empowers investment mangers to dramatically increase their process automation of derivative securities.

AcadiaSoft automates the Collateralized Derivative Securities operations process by taking data feeds from the investor’s trading and accounting systems, its brokers’ systems and its custodians. The data collected is then analyzed using AcadiaSoft’s Smart Software™, a sophisticated rules engine that generates reports and alerts. AcadiaSoft simplifies the Collateralized Derivative Securities communication process by electronically distributing alerts and queries to interested parties.

AcadiaSoft approaches its solution from the buy side’s/institutional investor's point of view. Other derivatives/collateral management platforms are designed as hulking systems that reside within a bank or brokerage and their customers must out-source their operations to the bank or brokerage, thereby revealing proprietary trading information to outside firms. AcadiaSoft has pursued an entirely different path which empowers institutional investors to leverage unique services provided by each of its custodians or brokers, but allows proprietary investment and accounting data to remain secure within the investment manager.
