Charles River today announced that U.S. Bancorp Asset Management has selected Charles River IMS to support its equity, fixed income, and private asset management operations – replacing systems from Linedata, Thomson Financial, and a proprietary fixed income application. Implementation began in December, and U.S. Bancorp plans to go live with Charles River IMS in June to serve 70 employees.
US Bancorp Asset Management, a $127 billion asset manager (including the First American Funds) will implement the complete Charles River IMS software suite which includes Charles River Manager for portfolio management, Charles River Trader for order management and trading, and Charles River Compliance for real-time and portfolio-level compliance monitoring.

“We are thrilled to partner with a firm that shares similar values and offers an industry leading trade order management and compliance solution,” says Mark Jordahl, Chief Investment Officer, US Bancorp Asset Management. “Charles River is an essential addition to U.S. Bancorp Asset Management’s infrastructure and will contribute to our ability to achieve straight-through-processing.”
