Management Reporting
Hedge funds, asset managers, private equity firms, and middle market lenders who all have different strategies and invest in the entire spectrum of the capital structure of companies — have a common challenge. How do they present this complex data to their executives and investors in a format that is easy to digest but that still has a drill-down to the minutest detail of the underlying assets? Unfortunately, data needed for this type of reporting is often isolated in disparate systems ranging from individual spreadsheets to being housed within an accounting system.
The Solution
NorhtPoint has created a lightweight Portfolio Data Warehouse that consolidates Issuer, Asset, Position, and Portfolio information into a flexible format that is optimized for exactly this type of reporting. It utilizes a Global Securities Master to integrate disparate systems and ensure that data is current and valid. New data points can be added on-the-fly by users so that fundamental company information can be captured. Standard and user-customizable reporting is provided through templates and grid controls that also provide an “Excel-like” interface (complete with formulas) that can replace individual analysts' spreadsheets. Specific reports can be grouped together and published as an Asset Book – especially useful in Investor Reporting where high-level performance statistics are needed with drill-down to specific assets.
