History

SS&C was founded by William C. Stone in 1986. [6] The company went through an initial public offering process for the first time in 1996.

In 2021, Mammoth Scientific selected SS&C as the administrator and technology partner for its $100 million venture capital fund. [11] The fund is for health science and technology companies. [11] In October, Gordian Capital started using the company's Eze Investment Suite for its trading, portfolio, and risk management services in Singapore and Japan. [12]

In May 2022, Liontrust Asset Management extended its mandate with SS&C. [13] The company uses SS&C's products to manage the majority of its £38.5 billion in assets. [13]

In June, SS&C released a new asset allocator platform for institutional investors.
