GFX licenses this incremental know-how and software to asset management firms and their service providers in the United States, Europe and elsewhere throughout the world.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The additional know-how gives most of the administrative areas of the design and operation of a collective investment product greater flexibility. These areas include legal, regulatory, fiscal, financial, accounting, operations, and compliance. The additional know-how will vary depending on the jurisdiction and market segment (<i>e.g., <\/i>conventional fund, exchange traded fund, banking, insurance, pension, separate account) which is involved.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The additional software performs those additional accounting and information system functions required to operate in the Global Hub &amp; Spoke System.
