Shortlist managers, build peer comparisons, prep Investment Committee papers and monitor your portfolios by asking in plain language. Every answer is computed on your own data by the same engine your process already relies on, with no invented numbers to check.

Watch a plain-language question turn into ranked managers and IC-ready analysis, computed on your own data and rendered on the spot.
Introducing AlternativeSoft MCP · recorded in a live AI assistant session.
The question is whether it answers from your governed data or from whatever it can find. AlternativeSoft MCP puts your team’s AI on the engine your process already trusts.
Screening a peer group, ranking on risk-adjusted return and pulling the stats used to take an afternoon of menus and exports. Now it takes a sentence.
Turn a manager’s real performance and risk numbers into a structured review write-up, ready to drop into the Committee pack, in the same breath as the question.
Every figure is computed on your own database by the AlternativeSoft engine. No copy-paste, no invented statistics, nothing you have to re-check before it reaches the board.
Ask what sits in a portfolio, how weights have moved or which approved managers are drifting on risk, without waiting for the next scheduled report.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools. AlternativeSoft exposes its analytics as MCP tools - so the assistant can fetch funds, build comparisons and compute statistics on demand.
“Compare these three managers on Sharpe and max drawdown for the IC pack.”
Maps the request to the right analytics tools and parameters.
Runs the calculation on your database and returns the result.
No lock-in. AlternativeSoft MCP plugs into any assistant that supports MCP servers - and more are being added across the industry.
Choose the deployment that fits each assistant. Web-based assistants consume Server-Hosted MCP; desktop and developer tools can make use of the MCP locally.
Supports browser-based assistants, desktop and developer tools that connect to a hosted endpoint.
Suitable for desktop and developer tools that launch locally - ideal for AlternativeSoft desktop users.
Manager selection, IC prep, portfolio oversight and monitoring - the work your team does today, answered live and in plain English.
“Find managers in my Long/Short peer group with the best 3-year Sharpe and lowest drawdown.”
“Compare these three managers on return, volatility and max drawdown against the benchmark.”
“Summarise key risk stats for these managers ahead of Thursday’s Investment Committee.”
“Which managers sit in my Growth portfolio, and how have their weights moved this quarter?”
“Flag any managers on my approved list whose 12-month volatility has risen sharply.”
“Pull performance and risk stats for this manager and draft a two-paragraph DD summary.”
Real sessions in Claude Desktop. Your team asks in plain language; AlternativeSoft computes over MCP and returns numbers and analysis you can take to Committee.
“Get me the managers in my sample hedge fund portfolio with the attributes and risk stats I need for the review.”
Claude loads the AlternativeSoft tools, resolves the correct statistic names, then calls GetGroupAssets on your engine.
Eight managers returned with strategy, currency, AUM, return, volatility, Sharpe, Sortino and max drawdown - as an interactive table.
Claude highlights the best risk-adjusted names and the highest-volatility outliers - the read a selection analyst would write.
| Manager | Strategy | Sharpe | Sortino | Max DD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FGC Multi Strategy | Multi-Strategy | 1.88 | 4.39 | -16.7 |
| ECM Enhanced Global | Multi-Strategy | 1.70 | 4.13 | -14.9 |
| NCM Absolute Alpha | Multi-Strategy | 0.67 | 1.23 | -27.4 |
| ValueTech High Return | Directional | 1.14 | 2.73 | -18.5 |
“Pull Fundsmith Equity’s latest performance and risk stats and write a two-paragraph assessment I can drop into the IC pack.”
Claude fetches the supported statistics for the GBP Acc share class - returns, volatility and Sharpe across 1/3/5-year windows - directly from your data.
A structured Performance and Risk narrative, grounded in the figures it just pulled - report-ready prose alongside live data.
The risk in AI is not the question, it is where the answer comes from. AlternativeSoft MCP is built so every figure is traceable, governed and computed on your own data.
Statistics are calculated by the AlternativeSoft engine on your database. The AI orchestrates the request; it does not estimate or invent the numbers.
Each answer names the tool it called and the data it used, so a figure in an IC paper can be traced back to the exact request behind it.
The MCP runs against your own AlternativeSoft installation, server-hosted or local. Your holdings and portfolios are not exposed to train anyone’s model.
The same engine that already underpins your reporting answers the AI, so a number asked for in chat matches the number in your platform.
Give the team a governed way to use AI on fund data, instead of pasting holdings into consumer tools that answer from the open web.
AI-agnostic by design. Use Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot today and switch as the market moves, without re-platforming your analytics.
A few habits keep your team’s answers fast, precise and easy to defend.
Name the exact funds, group, statistics and date window in one prompt. Specifics avoid back-and-forth and wasted calls.
Request only the statistics and fields you need. Narrow scope returns smaller payloads - faster and cheaper.
Point the AI at an existing peer group or portfolio instead of long fund lists. One reference replaces many names.
For time-series data, daily over decades is heavy; monthly is usually enough for comparisons.
Start broad to shortlist, then ask follow-ups on the survivors - rather than pulling everything at once.
Let the AI resolve exact asset names first. Correct names prevent failed lookups and retries.
Tell us a little about your team and we’ll set up a walkthrough of AlternativeSoft MCP on your own portfolios and managers.
