SunGard's Short-Term Cash Management Portal Surpasses $100 Billion in Total Money Fund Assets(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Wayne, PA (PRWEB) June 13, 2011 The SunGard Global Network (SGN) Short-Term Cash Management portal surpassed $100 billion in total money market fund assets*. The SGN Short-Term Cash Management portal is a global compliance, trading and connectivity solution for institutional cash investors. The solution is a multi-fund trading platform that helps corporate treasurers increase efficiency in researching, analyzing and gathering other relevant information and provides the ability to optimize short-term investments. The use of online money fund trading portals continues to run counter to the current trend of institutional money market asset declines. The Investment Company Institute’s 2011 Investment Company Fact Book reports that nonfinancial businesses held 25% of their cash in money market funds as of year-end 2010, although this is down from 30% at year-end 2009. According to the Association for Financial Professionals’ 2010 Liquidity Survey, 21% of organizations use an electronic, multi-family trading portal to execute at least some of their short-term investment transactions, and organizations using trading portals execute an average of 73% of their money market mutual fund transactions through the trading portal. Bob Ward, chief operating officer of SunGard’s wealth management business, said, “The increasing asset volumes traded on the SGN Short-Term Cash Management portal suggest it is meeting the growing demand for integrated, electronic trading platforms to help global treasury and investment professionals manage risk, improve operational efficiencies and satisfy auditor requests. Offering the transparency of a fully disclosed, direct model and an international network with multiple currencies, the portal helps meet these requirements in one centralized, automated source to buy and sell shares in institutional money market funds.” About the SunGard Global Network A trade automation and connectivity solution, the SunGard Global Network links institutions throughout the financial services value chain, offering services for equity, fixed income securities, listed derivatives, mutual funds, money market funds and other cash equivalents.
