Give the Investment Committee One View of External Funds

Allocations to external funds are often tracked across several files and providers. AlternativeSoft brings returns, risk and exposures into one place, so the committee reviews the same numbers every time.

  • One source of data: Returns and holdings from leading providers and your own files.
  • Your limits: Each fund is measured against the benchmarks and limits you set.
  • An audit trail: Notes and decisions stay with each fund.
  • Scheduled reports: Committee reports can be produced on a schedule.
