Cooper Investors P/L with AUD 2.7 billion in assets under management, has implemented the Charles River Investment Management System (Charles River IMS) to support its Melbourne asset management operations. Cooper Investors serves large pension and superannuation funds, high net worth individuals, Australian State Government agencies, charities and top 100 corporate.
Charles River IMS is a comprehensive front-to-middle office software suite for portfolio management and modeling (Charles River Manager), order management and electronic trading (Charles River Trader), real-time compliance monitoring (Charles River Compliance), and the centralized management of trade matching, confirmation and settlement workflow (Charles River Post-Trade).
“After reviewing a variety of systems, we chose Charles River due to their clear understanding of our functional and business requirements. We required a firm with not only local presence, but also with local and global market expertise and capabilities, specifically in the Australian equity market and on the FIX protocol,” said Peter Cooper, managing director of Cooper Investors. “By implementing Charles River IMS and FIX messaging we have a seamless trade workflow which provides complete support for all investment classes, foreign and domestic exchanges, and all trade message types.”
