ARJUN R VARMA

As a Fund Accounting Professional with proven expertise in hedge fund and mutual fund operations, I bring hands-on experience in daily NAV calculations, portfolio reconciliations (cash, position, trade, and dividends), and financial reporting in fast-paced investment environments.

Currently at Apex Group, and previously with Societe Generale, I’ve worked across multiple fund structures, asset classes, and jurisdictions, ensuring accurate valuations, timely NAV delivery, and compliance with global accounting standards. I’m proficient in industry platforms such as Paxus, GP3, Accurate, and Apollo (Bloomberg-integrated) and skilled in leveraging Bloomberg data and internal pricing systems for pricing validation and exception analysis.

Beyond fund accounting, I have exposure to Accounts Payable processes, internal audit functions, and financial data tagging (XBRL), contributing to a well-rounded understanding of end-to-end investment operations.

I am currently pursuing the CISI IOC certification through FPA Edutech, enhancing my knowledge in global investment operations, trade lifecycle, and regulatory frameworks.
