Marriott have successfully implemented the Fundamental Portfolio Manager (FPM) system for performing fund accounting, portfolio valuations and reporting as well as for pricing their Unit Trusts. According to Ntokozo Ntuli (Chief Financial Officer) “We successfully implemented the FPM system working closely with the Fundamental team to ensure that it met our specific needs and requirements. We have received continuous support as we navigated the addition of more complex instruments and have been able to request further customisation. The FPM system has provided stability to our daily pricing processes and allowed for automated controls and checks (prior and post valuation). It has also streamlined and created efficiencies. Another advantage of the FPM system is that it is modular and different functionality can be added on at any time. We are looking at adding the Compliance module to automate our pre-trade compliance and ongoing monitoring checks which are currently done manually. The Fundamental team was very hands on during implementation of the system. They are willing to work with clients to find solutions and are open to engagement on technical matters. We believe that their high level of expertise, as one of the leading service providers in this space, makes them an exceptional choice for any Investment firm.”
