LS Power, a New York-based investment firm focused on the development, acquisition and management of power generation and transmission infrastructure, has selected SunGard’s Investran to help address its accounting needs for private equity administration.
LS Power will use Investran for customer relationship management and investment and partnership accounting.
Investran supports the entire investment lifecycle, from fundraising to reporting and portfolio monitoring, by automating front, middle and back-office processes for private equity and alternative investment firms.
LS Power needed a solution that would help it to efficiently analyse, track and disseminate an increasing flow of transactional data.
Investran aims to help LS Power monitor current investments more efficiently, manage investor allocations and automate the accounting workflow.
Investran will also provide LS Power with streamlined and automated reporting, auto-generated capital calls and distribution notices, and performance reports including dynamic investment rate of return.
Mark Brennan, senior vice president and treasurer of LS Power, says: “With our business facing an influx of information, we needed SunGard’s Investran to help us more efficiently meet our accounting and reporting needs. Investran is also a reliable tool for managing investor inquiries and centralising due diligence, which will help us to reduce operational risk.”
Emanuel Mond, president of SunGard’s alternative investments business, adds: “SunGard’s approach to the private equity business is such that we combine the strength of a flexible, functionally-rich solution with both industry expertise and a consultative approach to helping our customers meet their private equity administration needs.
