LaCrosse Global Fund Services uses IRIS, a proprietary trade-processing infrastructure originally developed to support Cargill’s global proprietary trading activity. IRIS is a global, multi-asset class, multi-market, multi-currency and multi-entity system that is used as a hub for interfaces to client trading systems, trade counterparties, prime brokers, local custodians, bank accounts, third-parties and other LaCrosse systems.
Wherever possible, third-party communications occur via SWIFT, Omgeo CTM, Swapswire, or DTCC Deriv/SERV for hands-off, electronic, straight-through processing.
LaCrosse runs a variety of vendor-provided systems for investment and investor accounting, including Advent Geneva. Vendor systems also are used (and are integrated with both IRIS and Geneva) for cash and collateral management as well as for automated reconciliations.
A client workstation portal provides secure Internet access to reports and fund information.
LaCrosse supports automated interfaces for trade and position information for a number of widely used trading and portfolio management systems, as well as a Microsoft Excel interface. New interfaces are always under development and are implemented continuously. Contact us to see if your system is already live or to confirm when your system will be supported.
