FundCount Review

Pros

The application is the best solution on the market. It is very powerful but simple to deploy and use. The FundCount team provides exceptional customer service if you ever need help.

Cons

This is an excellent product with no real cons.

Full House

Great Long Term Relationship, like the fellas over at Fundcount, and respect them and what they built immensely.

Pros

As a small Fund Administrator, we built our operational divisions around Fundcount. We operate with a small footprint thanks to the functionality of Fundcount. It offers a very strong portfolio orientated system, it backs that up with a very strong accounting function and rounds off with a strong investor services function. It is the ability to use one system across our divisions, A to Z, that makes it such a powerhouse and valued partner.

Cons

Fundcount is expensive. That being said, Fundcount has startup pricing mechanisms that allow them to partner early on with small operations such as ourselves and grow together. As a small, niche enterprise, we choose not to grow to scale and rather service a small client base at very high service levels. Fundcount is a very good partner to do so, however, after staff costs, Fundcount remains our top expense. That being said, Fundcount is worth the cost and that is why we have been using it for over a decade.

Losing capabilities

It gets the job done but it is awkward currently to use. In addition, it is rather expensive for what we are getting form it. We are just doing monthly reporting for a small fund that has infrequent trading.

Pros

I know it well and it is fairly easy to use.

Cons

I now have lost all of the electronic pricing ability so I have to manually type in all prices. In addition more reporting capabilities would be great. In addition, exporting and importing capabilities would be helpful. It is also rigid in some workflow processes.

FUNDCOUNT

Overall the experience has been good, and I do feel over time the product has continued to move in the right direction, which is it is always adding useful new features and is improving.

Pros

I like that all my client data is in a database and can be reported, sorted and used in a variety of different ways. I like that the entities are connected in the software and information from one partnership or fund flows through nicely to its owners. Easy to run financials and it is nice to see real allocations schedules for my clients.

Cons

We tend to have problems such as not being able to get into FundCount around updates.

Sophisticated yet Easy to Navigate

Pros

I'm very impressed with the versatility and sophistication of the software. It is easily adapted to accommodate the unique nature and reporting requirements of virtually any fund. Customer support is outstanding.

Cons

Software updates occasionally cause unexpected issues. An inconvenience, but the customer team is quick to address and correct problems.

Software Features

It has great features that are required by any Asset Management Company in order to keep fund portfolios, mutual fund management actually products they offer and enchanced investor relation module. But unfortunately i did'nt find any free version or trial one.
