Portfolio Management
Portfolio managers are increasingly dependent on technical solutions to cope with the growing complexity of their tasks. Within flowsuite, UI labs offers a powerful portfolio management system based on SimCorp One with a complete overview of all investment information in real time.
SimCorp One includes the Asset Manager module, a powerful, centralized portfolio management system in which all assets, open positions and the associated risks are combined. The ability to run simultaneous simulations and modeling across numerous portfolios allows portfolio managers to pre-analyze and review all investment decisions for compliance and risk. The Front Office System – SimCorp One is customized according to customer requirements. Various modules from SimCorp One are available for this purpose.
The most important part of any investment process is the efficient monitoring and control of the investment guidelines. With the fully integrated Compliance Manager, a comprehensive compliance check is carried out directly when the order is generated, regardless of whether legal or contractual limits are involved. The module has a powerful compliance rule set that guarantees a very fast compliance check across numerous portfolio positions.
Today, financial institutions (buy and sell side) worldwide use the FIX protocol to transmit and exchange order and transaction information.
However, SimCorp One’s Order Manager not only uses the FIX protocol to transmit orders, but also a number of alternatives. The entire process, from real-time data retrieval to order transmission, monitoring, execution and feedback in the Asset Manager, is fully automated.
The Order Manager – just like all other SimCorp One modules – is fully scalable and can meet growing requirements. The open interface architecture guarantees flexible communication and maximum interoperability with internal and external counterparties and systems, such as the connection of Bloomberg EMSX or independent trading desks.
Reconciliation is one of the most important components of active portfolio and risk management. All relevant information are compared on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. SimCorp One’s Reconciliation Manager offers a large number of existing interfaces for the exchange of information between the asset manager and the relevant custodian banks and fund administrators. The fund accounting files can be imported and reconciled via a standard interface (BVI) or via specific fund accounting interfaces.
Efficient portfolio and order management requires a massive amount of master and market data from various sources covering different asset classes. In addition, there has been a considerable increase in the number of regulatory requirements regarding the correct storage of all data relevant to portfolio management, the overall management of orders and their execution, as well as compliance. With the Data Warehouse, flowsuite offers powerful data management that gives you access to several providers of master and market data such as WM Data Services, Bloomberg and others. At the same time, it provides access to all relevant archived data relating to portfolio management, order management and compliance from the SimCorp One front office system. Using this data, you can create all the reports required by the supervisory authorities as well as customized reports and analyses whenever they are needed.
The web-based dashboard of flowsuite gives you a comprehensive overview of your investment process. At any time, from any location and on all common mobile devices.
