GlobeOp Financial Services

What GlobeOp Financial Services does

GlobeOp Financial Services is a fund administration service provider specializing in middle- and back-office support for hedge funds, alternative investment managers, asset managers, and private equity firms. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Harrison, United States, the company was acquired by SS&C Technologies in 2010 and now operates as the SS&C GlobeOp division within SS&C's Asset Servicing solution set. GlobeOp's core offering spans NAV calculation, investor services, middle-office trade reconciliation and settlement, transfer agency and registry services, compliance monitoring, risk assessment, and regulatory reporting — the operational backbone required to run institutional alternative investment funds.

The company's underlying technology is the SS&C GlobeOp Fund Administration Platform, a proprietary system integrated into SS&C's broader financial services technology infrastructure, which also includes Geneva (hedge fund solutions), Black Diamond (wealth management), SS&C AI Gateway (AI governance), SS&C Blue Prism (RPA/intelligent automation), Calastone (fund distribution automation), and SS&C Intralinks (financial transaction platform). GlobeOp benefits from SS&C's enterprise scale: $45T+ in assets run on SS&C technology globally and 23,000+ clients served across SS&C's portfolio. GlobeOp's own operations are supported by 1,001–5,000 employees, embedded within SS&C's 29,000-person global workforce.

Commercially, GlobeOp generates revenue through managed-services fund administration contracts. Pricing is quote-based, not publicly disclosed, and varies by fund size, asset class complexity, and service requirements. Fees are typically structured as a percentage of assets under administration (AUA) or as fixed fees per fund, billed under multi-year contracts. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales, with dedicated relationship managers serving institutional hedge fund, asset manager, and family office clients globally. Marketing leverages SS&C's enterprise channels, including the SS&C Deliver conference, industry events, digital marketing, and the SS&C corporate website. The primary customer segment is hedge fund managers, with asset managers and private equity/venture capital firms as secondary segments, all requiring operational outsourcing, regulatory compliance, and investor transparency support.
