M.A.T. Share singled out for special commendation for its ability to deliver scalability and enhance operational infrastructure.
Hedge fund technology specialist Comada has been recognised for the excellence of its M.A.T. Share platform at the Funds Europe Awards in December 2008. This special commendation was given for the category of European Middle Office technology.
According to leading asset management trade journal Funds Europe “This hedge fund middle-office provider has bridged the gap between poor operational infrastructure in the hedge fund world and the stringent requirements of institutions such as pension schemes. Counting Gottex Fund Managers among its clients, Comada is using its M.A.T. Share product to replace the use of spreadsheets as a risk control tool at fund of hedge fund firms with better technology architecture. This in turn allows the fund houses to scale their business. Judges recognised this as a major necessity within the institutional hedge fund world, and so Comada was given a special commendation.”
Mark Porter Chief Operating Officer, Fund Services, UBS Global Asset Management presented the award to Susanne Petrie, Comada’s business development manager. M.A.T. Share is a hosted transaction level portfolio and liquidity management solution. Its enterprise class technology seamlessly integrates hedge fund data, delivering powerful operational risk management tools delivered through web accessed reporting to and between clients and service providers.

Solutions like ours are likely to be in even more demand from institutional-scale managers as they seek to grow their businesses in a significantly altered and challenging environment this year.”
