Mars Fund of Funds - Hedge Fund Platform



MARS Fund of Funds (FOF) was developed to address a growing problem in the hedge fund industry; using a spreadsheet as a database, and the inability to share information across the firm. The hedge fund platform has many of the features of his older brother MARS, but has unique functionality tailored to the needs of Fund of Funds managers.

  • Flexible strategy and risk model, allows you create any type of fund.
  • Multi-fund platform allows you to create multiple funds, with the ability of one fund to own pieces of the others.
  • Fund level views and analysis of strategy, risk, AUM, NAV, and credit facilities.
  • Fee module, calculate management fees, hurdle rates, incentives, and increases.
  • Track market value and performance on an estimated or actual basis; with the ability to carry forward adjustments.
  • Excel-based ad hoc reporting, based on our template technology.

Hedge fund managers, there's a better way ... let's talk.



GIPS Verification Extract



Considering GIPS verification? Verified, and in maintenance mode? In either case, you need to know about the GIPS Verification Extract. Firms undergoing a multi-year initial verification are faced with days if not weeks of record collection and collation; those of you on a standard verification schedule need to collect data and prepare the proper format. Not anymore.

  • Extract data from your Advent Axys® or APX® system.
  • Create all of the reports required by your verifier in a single batch process - everything in the right place, the first time.
  • Save days to weeks of time on a multi-year verification.

This application is offered exclusively through our partner ACA Beacon Verification Services, please contact them directly.
