SS&C serious about Aussie expansion, says chair

Speaking to Financial Standard, SS&C global chair and founder Bill Stone said the investment management software and services company is looking to become the premier administration provider in Australia.

"We have added around 1400 Insignia people to SS&C, so we have a lot of talent and a lot of capability," Stone said.

"As we transform Insignia's four platforms into one, we'll get a lot of efficiencies, and we'll have staff available as we add additional superannuation funds to our client list.

"We're excited about how this all fits together and into our strategic plans for Australia."

Stone said SS&C has been in talks with every Australian super fund to showcase what it can offer and is excited about the future potential.
