wHAT SETS US APART
Company Profile
quality and custom-tailored solutions are what most set us apart
At VestServe, as our name implies, we serve our clients. From the day you become a new client going forward we strive to provide the best support possible. Every investment manager has unique needs with different procedures and requirements. Often, we have to work hard to make the Investment Management System (IMS) fit the customer rather than forcing the customer to fit the IMS. Even if it means enhancements to our software. That level of effort to ensure a satisfied customer is unusual and it is a big differentiator in delivery philosophy.

VestServe’s customers manage over $100 Billion in assets on our IMS platform. We have delivered trusted solutions to family offices, investment companies, pensions and foundations since our founding in 2001. We support virtually any instrument. IMS offers extensive features including multi-currency accounting, fund unitization, GIPS compliant performance measurement, analytics and modeling. Contact us to find out more about VestServe.

OUR DNA
Our Philosophy
Investment Accounting and Reporting Made to Order
There are a number of good investment reporting products on the market today. They bring in summary data from outside managers and provide a user friendly tool for their customers. They are very good as far as they go but…they don’t perform detailed accounting.
The premise from which we operate is that bringing in all the transactions so the software can calculate accruals, payments and the like is the only way to get truly accurate reporting. How can one calculate IRR for a private equity fund without all the flows by type, date and amount?
So we built a first class investment accounting system including a proprietary reporting tool that includes a vast array of formulas. We added to it a front end that is able to plug and play to virtually any trading platform. The result is a very powerful end-to-end investment management solution called IMS.
Even with all our strengths we recognize the endless possibilities in the instruments, terms, fees, etc. that an investment firm can offer. That is why we have become very good at building enhancements our customers require; then we add them to our solution as a fully supported feature of the software. This combination of out-of-the-box features plus custom deliverables truly sets us apart.
