31 May 2002: Capitalgest Asset Management Selects SunGard Solutions

Capitalgest Asset Management, the asset management arm of Italy’s Banca Lombarda Group, has selected SunGard’s Panorama and Decalog for cross-asset order management, risk analysis, compliance, portfolio management, and performance measurement and attribution.

Panorama employs SunGard’s Network Trade Model (NTM), based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML) standard message format. The system will be integrated with Decalog as the technology platform to support Capitalgest’s portfolio management and risk analysis for 20 funds, and its launch of five open, non-harmonized Italian law fund of funds.

Sebastiano Di Pasquale, managing director of Capitalgest, said, "We selected SunGard because it was the only vendor that could provide a cross-asset solution that encompasses the entire range of functionality we require across risk and order management.

“The seamless integration of Panorama and Decalog will enable us to streamline our operation and achieve greater efficiencies."
