DST International (DSTi), a leader in business solutions for the investment management industry, announced today that Guotai Junan Assets (Asia) Limited has selected DSTi's investment accounting solution - HiPortfolio/3 and DSTi's front office solution - HiInvest.

Guotai Junan Assets (Asia) is a subsidiary of Guotai Junan Securities Company Limited, one of the top five securities firms in China.

The solution is comprised of trade order management from deal generation to confirmation, compliance management with customisable compliance rules that include investment exposure limits and mandate checking functionality, settlement and valuation reporting.

Guotai expects to benefit from streamlined operational control and improved business reporting.

Charles Cheung, Guotai Junan Assets (Asia)'s Managing Director, said: "HiPortfolio/3 is a proven solution that is trusted and recommended by custodians and investment managers globally. In addition to providing a world-class system, DSTi's 12 years of local presence and experience, combined with the quality of its business consultants and support staff, were key factors in our decision process."
