First Samuel selects Sylvan


Investment and financial services software provider SS&C Technologies has announced that First Samuel has selected its Sylvan product to calculate pre- and post-tax returns across its individual investment portfolios.
It said SS&C's Sydney office would implement and support First Samuel's performance and attribution platform to process before- and after-tax performance returns for any number of portfolios over any time period.
It said that as part of the implementation, Sylvan would be fully integrated with the client's portfolio accounting system.
