Where SSNC is headed
By the end of 2027, SS&C will look less like a sleepy fund administrator and more like the default operating system for private market plumbing. Private credit assets are projected to clear $3 trillion globally that year, and the back-office work for those funds (NAV calculation, investor reporting, capital calls, K-1 prep) is exactly what SS&C GlobeOp and the old Advent platforms do for a living. Bill Stone has spent two decades buying these capabilities one acquisition at a time (Advent, DST, Eze, Blue Prism, Iress), and the integration phase is finally paying down debt rather than adding to it. Net leverage is under 3x for the first time in years, and management has shifted the cash allocation toward buybacks at a meaningful clip.
