Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa The Catalyst Group Full time
Hello

The world is a mess right now.

So, we're shaking it up even more - in a good way - and specifically in the financial fund management and admin service space.

Just the words "finance" and "admin" sound pre-historic.

But we're adding faster thinking, intuitive tech and a great people touch to a field that's been a bit sluggish of late.

In short, Catalyst finds new ways to give clients what they really need, when they need it and in a way that is so simple and obvious - they didn't even know how much they needed it until they met us.

Catalyst at a glance

  • What: A hightech, peoplefirst, datadriven, digital fund administration firm for hedge and private equity funds.
  • Who: Experienced alternative investment professionals taking fund services to a new
  • How: A combination of relationship management, bestofbreed technology, integration, digitization and alwayson automation.
  • And: We're already a frontrunner of solutions in digital assets and alternative fund
The right fit

Fast thinking, top-end tech and phenomenal always-on client service aside, our culture is pretty much everything. Our edge lies in our people.

So, when you meet us, you will either feel like you've found the home you never knew you were missing, or we rub you up the wrong way.

It's critical that we click.

We are a team of very different people.

We're talking folk who are into robotics, craft beer brewing, gin distilling, base-jumping and Ancient Greek history, to name just a few.

But we are united by a very distinct culture that sparks and sparks well - particularly when it comes to the why, what and how of getting stuff done.

You will never hear the words 'that's not how it's usually done".

But you will hear a lot of "How about?", "Yes" and "Let's do this infinitely better" (and probably a few other words that wouldn't be polite to put into print).

But enough about us. Let's talk about you.

  • Complete wholesale and fund specific reconciliations and GAV production;
  • Be responsible for wholesale processes and data management tasks into the portfolio systems. These tasks include trade, position, price and corporate action data and process
