SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - June 9, 2009) - Advent Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: [ ADVS ]), a leading provider of software and services for the global investment management industry, today announced that it has signed more than 400 client contracts for the use of Advent Portfolio Exchange® (APX) through on-site installation or Advent's outsourced offerings, since the product was launched in late 2005. APX is Advent's award-winning end-to-end portfolio management solution that integrates the front-office functions of prospecting, marketing, and customer relationship management with the back-office operations of portfolio accounting and reporting.

Advent clients can choose from a wide range of flexible deployment options for APX, including on-site installation, managed hosting or a fully outsourced environment with reporting and reconciliation services. The 400 APX clients are comprised of a wide range of investment management firms in 30 countries, including asset managers, family offices, independent advisors, trusts, broker dealers and hedge funds, managing assets from $25 million to over $75 billion.

"In today's environment, end-to-end portfolio management systems are a strategic imperative for the investment management community," notes Celent Analyst Dr. Isabel Schuerte.
