According to a recent LinkedIn post from SS&C Technologies, the firm is drawing attention to a new Separately Managed Account report produced with Hedgeweek based on survey responses from hedge fund managers and allocators. The post indicates that the report examines allocator appetite for SMAs, emerging concerns around operational complexity, and how managers are building SMA infrastructure to remain competitive in capital raising.

For investors, this focus suggests SS&C is positioning its technology and services around a segment where customization, transparency, and operational robustness are becoming key differentiators for hedge fund capital flows. The emphasis on SMA infrastructure could imply continued demand for SS&C’s portfolio administration, reporting, and workflow solutions as managers seek scalable platforms to handle bespoke accounts and mitigate operational risk.
The post also implies that managers who execute SMA capabilities effectively may be better placed to attract institutional allocations, which could support spending on third‑party technology providers. If SS&C converts this industry interest into product adoption, it may reinforce its role in the hedge fund and allocator ecosystem and support recurring revenue growth tied to complex, high‑value workflows.
