Frequently Asked Questions

Both platforms provide returns-based style analysis and factor attribution. AlternativeSoft also covers fund screening, peer group analysis, AI-powered DDQ completion, portfolio construction and automated IC reporting. MPI specialises in style analysis and stress testing without the broader institutional workflow coverage.
AlternativeSoft provides Sharpe RBSA, multi-factor regression, rolling factor analysis and style drift detection — capabilities that cover the institutional style analysis use cases most commonly met by MPI. For highly specific Markov process methodological requirements, MPI's specialist focus may provide additional depth.
For most institutional use cases, AlternativeSoft provides equivalent style analysis capabilities to MPI alongside a significantly broader institutional investment workflow. Institutions focused purely on specialist Markov process methodology may retain a preference for MPI, but most institutional users find AlternativeSoft's integrated approach more practical.
MPI focuses on quantitative analytics and style analysis tools rather than comprehensive fund screening across large databases or peer group analysis. AlternativeSoft provides peer group analysis across 500,000+ funds and fund screening with 4,000+ criteria.
For institutions currently using MPI alongside separate fund screening, peer benchmarking, ODD tools and IC reporting software, AlternativeSoft typically provides a more cost-effective integrated solution. Contact AlternativeSoft to compare the total cost versus your current multi-tool combination.
