Company Background:
SunGard Portfolio Solutions Inc. was founded as Shaw Data Services, Inc. in 1976. In July, 1992 the firm joined the growing group of SunGard companies, owned by SunGard Data Systems Inc. SunGard Portfolio Solutions has the distinct advantage over any other portfolio management system provider in that SunGard Data Systems (the parent company), through its complete system support capabilities and applications throughout the securities investment network, can leverage those current capabilities and create continuous facility circuits. Proceeding into the new millennium, we envision that this connectivity will be critical in responding to anticipated straight-through-processing demands and provide continuous system availability.
SunGard Portfolio Solutions offers a complete line of portfolio management, accounting, reporting and performance systems to a diverse group of investment professionals, from start-up firms to multi-billion dollar investment advisors.

Company Executive Team:
From an original group of nine employees in 1976, SunGard Portfolio Solutions’ staff has expanded to 135 people with offices in New York, New Jersey, Boston, San Francisco and Philadelphia. Key personnel:
