State-of-the-art fund administration software
LemonEdge is the state-of-the-art fund administration software that enables administrators and asset servicers to manage multiple clients, asset types and structures without being impacted by the limitations of traditional systems.
Manage rapid growth and increasing complexity
The increase in client opportunities is driving demand, and without operational technology or process changes, a growing team of operators and fund accountants is needed to deliver the high level of service clients expect. The global shortage of resources, particularly accounting teams, has aggravated this challenge further, leading to the development of brute force solutions, such as offshoring or co-sourcing, from various players in the market. However, those approaches give rise to other challenges, such as managing disparate teams, working in multiple time zones, in multiple languages, with multiple cultures and more.
Everything you need to manage clients and their investments
Here's some of the key functionality which we believe will solve your challenges:
Simplify multi-jurisdictional
Configure LemonEdge to fulfil local, regional or supra-national AML/KYC compliance.
Track and audit everything
Keep track of everything that happens in your system, with our comprehensive, time-stamped auditing.
Model your clients’ future with Canvases
Instantly take copies of your entire live system and use them to scenario plan and model.

Flexible asset class — any client type
Our cutting-edge transaction engine supports the accounting requirements of any asset class from vanilla out-of-the-box private equity to venture capital, real estate, infrastructure, et al. That sophistication, in a single platform, for all your clients, is one of the key benefits of the next-gen LemonEdge design, as you no longer need multiple systems for different asset or client types.
No bending, bodging or workarounds required
The flexibility of LemonEdge means that service providers can meet the expectations of their clients with their increasingly complex or bespoke structures. Having a single system which supports closed-ended entities as well as hybrid open-ended entities (including those with hedge-style characteristics) means there is no need for offline Excel workarounds or bending of existing systems to meet client needs.
Cloud-Native — Locally Hosted
We believe data is the future, and you should have direct access at all times.
LemonEdge is a fully cloud-native, API based architecture, providing a rich environment all within the confines of a system deployed on your in-house servers, or in your secure Azure or AWS environment. The LemonEdge approach delivers a best-of-both worlds of cloud performance, security and localization of data for jurisdictional reasons, with a locally-based application for ease of use. We eliminate the issues associated with multi-tenant ‘cloud’ or SaaS solutions, ensuring your integrated API connectivity is managed by your own IT teams with our support.

Excel spreadsheets slow down operations
Excel provides ease of use and transparency of calculations managed as offline processes for a variety of reasons. However, we all know the risks associated with lack of permission, auditing and version control.
Algorithms is our proprietary technology, which finally solves the problem of needing to create high-risk offline Excel processes. The data for your calculations is automatically pulled from the database, processed with your visible calculations and the outputs pushed back into the system as data. All with full permissions, controls and without the need for a black box.
Results can be exported to share with clients for transparency.
Use cases for Algorithms include bespoke performance calculations, waterfall calculations, or further the GP allocations for your clients.

Easy data transfer with an API
Automate data flow to and from LemonEdge with any other system or data source with our comprehensive and encrypted API toolkit. Avoid manual entry of data, to create an efficient, effective, automated single source of truth across your operational eco-system. With LemonEdge APIs data can be posted direct to clients’ data warehouses, or third party accounting solutions for a shadow process.

Data IntegrationOperate multiple GL types in parallel
The ability to manage multiple GL types, including parallel GLs (e.g. IFRS with local GAAP), is provided out-of-the-box with LemonEdge, so service providers can support their clients’ global or local accounting needs, as well as financial statement production, across multiple onshore and offshore jurisdictions.

Frequently asked questions
The LemonEdge API has been built from the ground up to interface with other complementary systems or databases, in either direction, using standardised technology.Typical examples include feeds such as those for prices, FX rates, banking transactions, or, to Front/Middle office, CRM and data warehouses.
With LemonEdge, the AML/KYC compliance requirements associated with the multiple jurisdictions of the investors in complex fund structures can be designed to ensure a single coherent AML/KYC process.
With that approach local, regional, or supra-national AML/KYC specifics then do not lead to umpteen offline Excel workarounds (for example to support multiple investor currency streams, investor types or classes, or investment locations).
As the LemonEdge ‘Canvas’ technology allows you to instantly make multiple copies of your entire live system, then scenarios your clients might what modelled out can be prepared, in full, ahead of receiving client instructions (for example around investment/disinvestment decisions, FX movements, accounting treatments, etc). Having this capability then consigns to history the stress of undertaking extensive complex calculations or accounting treatments at the 11th hour.
After so many cases in the private equity industry of traditional email being hacked to access sensitive financial information, asset managers are now seeing the benefits of communicating with their investors using a secure dedicated investor portal.
The LemonEdge integrated portal, built using the same technology by the same developers as the main LemonEdge private equity system, is a value-add proposition you can offer your clients as part of broadening your overall offering.
