Henderson Adopts Imagine Software's Portfolio Management Solution

Imagine Software, a leading provider of real-time portfolio and risk management solutions worldwide, has rolled out its ASP-based Derivatives.com product with Henderson Global Investors, a London based independent global asset management firm. Henderson was looking for a portfolio management solution that combined high flexibility with real-time performance, said David Elms, head of multi-strategy equities at Henderson, in a press release put out by the firm. "Our funds span the risk spectrum from enhanced index to absolute return hedge funds and employ a variety of instruments and a wide range of strategies, including equity long-short, event driven and relative value. Imagine has the flexibility and depth of functionality necessary to provide efficient, real-time P&L and exposure tracking," he said.

Derivative.com's integration capabilities were key to achieving project success, according to Dave Thomas, Henderson's investment systems program manager in charge of managing the Imagine deployment. "We knew the system had the capability to eliminate the need for a good number of legacy spreadsheets," Thomas said in the release. "But what enabled us to realize Imagine's potential was its ability to link to and share data easily with our third-party order management system and our own in-house proprietary solutions. Imagine's API-based integration and data access tools made possible a seamless implementation with our existing software environment and business processes," he added.
