Sydney-based value manager MIR Investment Management has gone live on an upgrade of the Charles River trading and compliance systems and added the global FIX electronic trading module.

Armik Ayoubdel, head of IT solutions and dealing at MIR, said the firm decided to upgrade its Charles River investment management system (IMS) and add new capabilities to further enhance full straight through processing (STP). MIR first appointed Charles River in 2006.

MIR recently implemented Charles River’s post-trade service to help with STP, allowing real-time settlement matching.

Ayoubdel said MIR now had streamlined all of its front and middle-office operations in one integrated system, which was “in tune with our business and operational needs”.

MIR has both long-only and long/short Australian equities and Asia ex-Japan equities strategies on offer.

Rest Super’s selective approach to PE pays off as program comes of age

Rest Super has built its private equity program around a deliberately selective approach to manager and deal selection, favouring a concentrated roster of external partners and proactively seeking out top PE firms rather than waiting for them to come knocking. Head of private markets Marina Pasika unpacks the program’s coming of age and what powered an asset class return more than double the peer average in the last financial year.
