FIS™ (NYSE: FIS), a global leader in financial services and payment technology, announced today that it has been named a “Category Leader” in a pair of recent reports by leading industry researcher Chartis Research.

In Chartis’ inaugural Hedge Fund Risk Management Technology report, FIS was recognized for having a broad range of offerings and best-in-class capabilities in “Compliance, regulatory and investor reporting,” “Asset class support” and “Risk metrics supported.”

Meanwhile, FIS was recognized for the depth and breadth of its technology and functionality in Chartis’ Data Integrity and Control in Financial Services report. FIS rated particularly highly for its reporting capabilities, automation, audit and data lineage, alerting and workflow, and data reconciliation tools.

“It’s never been more important for today’s organizations to have top-level risk management technology and to be able to fully understand and exploit data,” said Rob Stubbs, head of Research, Chartis Research. “As a category leader in both of these reports, FIS has demonstrated deep domain knowledge plus strong technological support that positions it to support a range of financial institutions.”

“FIS continues to strategically invest in and expand its risk technology solutions and expertise,” said Marianne Brown, chief operating officer, Global Financial Solutions, FIS. “We’re proud to see our investments recognized by Chartis in these important reports.”
