The most efficient approach to trade-related tasks is to utilize tools interwoven into day-to-day portfolio management processes. With InvestEdge ASP, investment professionals are able to automatically produce buy/sell lists, compare potential trades to restricted holdings lists, evaluate the impact of transactions on portfolios, and release trades to a third-party order management system all without re-keying data.
For example, advisors are able to generate proposed trade lists through automated rebalancing against models or other portfolios. The system is able to compare any portfolio's holdings to a target, and match every holding on a pro-rata basis. Likewise, the system is able to rebalance portfolios to match targets by asset class, asset subclass, sector, etc.
And through an alliance with Northfield Information Systems, InvestEdge can also include portfolio optimization features to consistently and intelligently manage tax-sensitive equity portfolios. Front line investment managers have ready access to automated tools for monitoring portfolio risk, optimizing portfolios to models with minimal turnover and capital gains, and evaluating the implications of potential trades.
To support straight-through processing, APIs to leading trading and brokerage systems are also available. The system can pass trade orders directly to a trading system, which in turn executes the trades to the broker of choice. The transactions are then automatically affirmed and posted back to the books-of-record system.
