NEW YORK and LONDON, May 18, 2026 — FundGuard, the cloud-native investment accounting platform for asset managers, asset servicers and custodian banks, today announced that it has won the “Innovation in Investment Accounting Infrastructure” award at the 2026 Global Custodian Leaders in Custody Awards.
The award was presented at the Global Custodian Leaders in Custody Awards dinner held at The Savoy in London on May 14, 2026, acknowledging FundGuard’s continued leadership in transforming investment accounting infrastructure for the global financial services industry.
Global Custodian recognized FundGuard for its innovative investment and fund accounting platform, purpose-built as a cloud-native, AI-native architecture designed to replace fragmented legacy systems and reconciliation-heavy operating models.
Unlike traditional platforms that layer AI capabilities onto decades-old technology stacks, FundGuard embeds AI natively across its accounting infrastructure, enabling firms to automate complex operational workflows, increase transparency and accelerate real-time decision-making across the investment lifecycle.
“This award reflects the growing industry recognition that investment accounting infrastructure must evolve beyond legacy architectures,” said Lior Yogev, CEO, FundGuard. “The market is moving toward real-time, intelligent operating models that unify books of record across asset classes, products and jurisdictions. FundGuard was built specifically for that future.”
FundGuard’s platform enables asset managers, custodians, fund administrators and asset owners to modernize core accounting operations through a unified multi-book architecture that delivers real-time visibility, operational scalability and automation across front, middle and back-office functions.
The Global Custodian Leaders in Custody Awards recognize outstanding achievement and innovation across securities services, asset servicing and market infrastructure.
“Winning this award alongside many of the industry’s leading institutions and technology providers underscores the momentum behind FundGuard’s approach to modern investment accounting,” said Simon Behan, Chief Commercial Officer. “We are proud to be leading the new wave of innovation in investment accounting infrastructure.”
