SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - March 25, 2009) - Advent Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: [ ADVS ]), a leading provider of software and services for the global investment management industry, today announced that Canadian money manager, Lincluden Investment Management, has implemented Advent Portfolio Exchange® (APX). APX is Advent's industry-leading portfolio management and reporting solution. With more than 50 clients in Canada, including asset managers, hedge funds, prime brokers and family offices, Advent's mission-critical solutions have been helping Canadian firms improve operational efficiency, reduce risk, manage costs and enhance client service since 1988.

For over 25 years, Ontario-based Lincluden has applied a value-based approach to investing in North American and international markets for both institutional and individual investors. Faced with the need for greater functionality in its existing portfolio management system, Lincluden turned to APX for its automated integration with third party systems, SQL-based platform, and robust reporting capabilities and custom report creation tools.

"Not only has APX helped us improve the quality of our reports, but also the efficiency of production and distribution," explains Lynn Eplett, Vice President, Lincluden. "The automation of reporting in APX saves us considerable staff time. Just in the regular monthly reporting that we pull together and deliver to clients, we're probably saving one administrator one to two days of time."

Added JoAnne Kekes, Manager of Information Technology at Lincluden, "APX brings a whole new level of automation to our operations, and has allowed us to free up a lot of our time to concentrate on more important things that the firm needs."

"Advent Portfolio Exchange® successfully met Lincluden's need for a robust and scalable portfolio management solution to help support and meet their business objectives," said Michele Holton, Director of Product Marketing at Advent. "Advent is very pleased to be expanding its presence in the Canadian market and we are delighted to add Lincluden to our growing list of clients in Canada that have been using Advent's suite of mission-critical solutions for more than 20 years to improve productivity and enhance client service."

Concluded Eplett, "Between APX's functionality, scalability, and the quality of service behind the product, I feel that we could grow our client base substantially without having to grow our staff. I see APX serving Lincluden's needs well into the future."
