FIS Global Plus review
A custody-focused accounting system for complex, multi-currency investment operations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
FIS Global Plus is an integrated portfolio accounting and custody system for wealth management, private banking, personal trust, institutional trust and custody operations. It is designed for organizations managing cash, equities, fixed income, options, loans, liabilities, mortgages, real estate and other instruments. The system supports both asset coverage and investor reporting, with multi-currency and multilingual processing available through a standard desktop browser.
Its strongest fit is operational depth around accounting and custody. Global Plus supports real-time portfolio accounting, trade-date and accrual-based accounting, retroactive and as-of processing, and real-time transaction messaging with straight-through processing. Corporate-actions processing extends the workflow, while client, group and scheduled reporting supports different reporting needs. Integrated cash management and foreign-exchange processing add coverage for organizations handling multi-currency portfolios and related cash activity.
The product also brings together custody, accounting, reporting and FX processing rather than focusing on a single investment-accounting task. IBM MQSeries is the listed integration, so organizations with broader ecosystem requirements should assess how that connection fits their existing architecture. Global Plus suits enterprise custody and trust operations that need multi-currency accounting and real-time processing. Organizations seeking a lightweight accounting tool, a narrow portfolio-reporting product or a wider stated integration set should consider alternatives aligned to those priorities.
