G2 Prime Brokerage Platform
Prime brokers need a sophisticated, integrated technology arsenal in order to deliver consistent, tailored services with empowered client care and customized, accurate and comprehensive investment reports. The Prime Brokerage Platform from G2 Systems, LLC does exactly that. This comprehensive package includes key, advanced systems necessary to enhance and/or launch a Prime Broker, including a Web Portal, Reports Management System, Data Warehouse, Margin and Stock Loan Calculator, Tax Management and Advent Geneva® or SunGard VPM .
G2 Knows Geneva® and VPM
G2 PBP clients can choose either Geneva, Advent's global investment management and accounting solution, or VPM, SunGard's hedge fund portfolio management system, as their investment management platform. G2 is fluent in both systems and has completed more than three dozen VPM and Geneva implementations at Hedge Funds, Brokerage Houses and Fund Administrators. G2's fund administration team, led by an industry veteran with over 20 years of accounting and operations experience, works closely with G2 engineers to deliver the optimal mix of both business and technical Geneva and VPM expertise.
Prime Brokerage Platform is a Seamlessly Integrated Solution
The remaining components of G2 PBP consist of advanced systems G2 created to help clients enhance their Geneva and VPM platforms. No matter how advanced the individual system, the key to optimal operational efficiency is in truly integrated systems. As expert systems integrators, G2 knows first hand how to get order management, fund administrator, data warehouse, and prime broker systems to seamlessly share data with either Geneva or VPM.
G2 PBP's comprehensive reporting also lets prime brokers reduce operational risk inherent when facilitating settlements and processing corporate actions, making them more attractive to potential clients.
With G2's Prime Brokerage Platform, G2 takes care of the technology so Prime Brokers can take care of the fund client.
Product Features
- The Web Portal lets clients quickly and easily access all of their financial data, such as client reports, positions ledger, current balances, trade blotters and monthly statements. The Portal offers clients a self-service option so they can perform various functions, such as retrieve historical data, verify trade corrections, or monitor money wires. It also lets clients upload information to a Prime for operations, such as trade allocations and option expirations. The primary driver for the Portal is a centralized data warehouse, which collects all data relevant to a Prime's clients. The centralized data warehouse also provides the Prime Brokerage with an easy integration point for all of the internal applications, ensuring that both the business and clients see consistent and reliable data. A number of different web or desktop technologies, including Adobe Flex, Java or ASP, can be used to customize the look and feel of the Portal.
- PBP's Reports Management System automatically executes and delivers client reports. PB users can set up new reports, schedule and deliver them to users. FTP, e-mail and web portal are all supported. G2's Reports Generation Engine makes it possible to quickly set up, maintain and monitor a large number of client report subscriptions. PGP is supported for security/privacy.
- G2 PBP includes a Margin and Stock Loan Calculator. See the G2 PBP fact sheet for full specification.
- G2 PBP addresses Tax Management with its powerful tax analysis engine — TaxGopherTM. Using Geneva and VPM trade data, TaxGopher automatically identifies Wash Sales, Straddles, and Constructive Sales, and supplies REIT reports.
With TaxGopher reports, you maintain a current tax profile. For example, one report helps you proactively identify wash/constructive sales, including the total amount that will be disallowed by the IRS. Another TaxGopher report details disallowed losses by lot and lists the necessary cost adjustments to carry forward the loss into future periods. Cost adjustments can be auto-fed into Geneva and VPM so that, once those lots are eventually liquidated, the cost basis is correct.
Other TaxGopher features allow you to group specific securities and override specific transactions when necessary. The end result is that compliance with IRS rulings and IRS Publication 550 becomes routine.
- An advanced data storage system, G2 Data Warehouse provides a snapshot of the data created in your VPM or Geneva system. It maintains an automatically refreshed copy of the investments, tax data, and performance metrics of your company's investment portfolios. This snapshot provides an up-to-date profile of trade data so users can make informed and timely investment decisions.
Once in the warehouse, data is easy to analyze and migrate to either standard software programs or custom applications. This gives users control over which programs access this data. The data is also easy to report on using standard tools, such as Microsoft SQL 2005 SSRS and SSIS, and Crystal Reports, or custom programs.
As part of its PBP, G2 will deploy either Geneva, Advent’s advanced portfolio accounting system, or VPM, SunGard's comprehensive, multi-currency fully integrated, customizable investment management solution.
