BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clearwater Analytics announced today that Global Atlantic Financial Group has selected Clearwater as its provider of investment data management, accounting, and reporting.

The solution is suited to the particular needs of Global Atlantic’s portfolio approach, providing flexible accounting assumptions, support for complex and emerging asset classes, and truly global capabilities for currencies, accounting bases, and regulatory reporting requirements.

“This is a technology that will create key opportunities — rather than apply limitations — to our investment team,” said Kim Lee, CFO at Global Atlantic. “Clearwater’s sophisticated automation and data capabilities will allow our team to have everything they need as our investment volumes grow, and its expertise in investment accounting and reporting will allow us to access new and attractive asset classes.”
