Tyndall Investment Management Automates Fixed Income Operations with Charles River Investment Management System

Charles River Development (Charles River), an award-winning provider of financial software and services to the global investment community, today announced that leading Australasian fund manager Tyndall Investment Management has successfully implemented the Charles River Investment Management System (Charles River IMS) to support Tyndall’s international and domestic fixed income fund management operations in Australia and New Zealand.

Brett Himbury, managing director of Tyndall, said that the company had recognized the need to upgrade its technology systems to better support its business growth plans in both Australia and New Zealand.

“Our research showed us that we required a front- and middle-office system to allow straight-through processing and we selected Charles River to work with us to replace complex processes in Sydney, and in New Zealand, implement Tyndall’s first front-office system,” said Himbury. “We now have the flexibility and scalability to better meet the market’s sophisticated and evolving requirements as we expand our operations.

“Charles River’s team of experts delivered a system that uses the latest technology to streamline our fixed interest management and reporting activities,” continued Himbury.

Charles River consolidated Tyndall’s front- and middle-office operations on one integrated platform, automating Tyndall’s portfolio management and trading activities, and adding real-time pre-trade and end-of-day compliance monitoring capabilities. An automated trade feed simplifies the interface of Charles River IMS with HiPortfolio accounting and other systems.

“From decision support through settlement, Charles River IMS gives Tyndall’s portfolio managers, traders, and compliance and operations personnel innovative technology, easy-to-use tools and real-time connectivity to efficiently manage its award-winning portfolios and ensure straight-through processing,” said Cameron Field, managing director of Charles River Development Asia-Pacific.
