FUNCTION:


  The Portfolio Modeling Module automates the allocation of individual assets within each trust account according to pre-defined models. Each model will be designed to meet the needs of a group of trust accounts based on investment objective – ranging from high growth or high risk to very conservative fixed income portfolios.

Modeling is defined using a two-level structure. The top level (called a model) can represent a class of securities, such as fixed income, international, cash equivalents, or US large cap. The second level (called an asset mix) specifies a target percentage for individual securities.

The same asset mixes can be used for many different models, so that a high-growth model is more heavily weighted in the aggressive mixes and the conservative models are more heavily weighted in the fixed income mixes.

Using modeling allows you to separate the selection of individual securities from the allocation arrangements that you make personally for each trust account. With this module, you can give personalized investment management to a large group of accounts very efficiently.

BENEFITS:


   The Portfolio Modeling Module adds value to the core system by …

   
 
  • allowing definition of over 46,000 models, each one including over 46,000 asset mixes. Each asset mix can include an unlimited number of assets, with allocations totaling to 100%.
     
  • including full modeling of mutual funds and pooled funds, which can purchase and sell based on a dollar amount.
     
  • including modeling analysis (without creating transactions) for other types of assets, including stocks, bonds, cash equivalents, etc.
     
  • designating a model for each account that will use Portfolio Modeling, based on the client’s investment objectives.
     
  • automating client-driven reallocations, such as:
     
    • spreading the assets for a new account.
       
    • spreading new contributions for an existing account.
       
    • raising cash to make a disbursement, with money coming out of assets based on the allocation percentages in the model.
       
    • moving an account to a different model.
       
    • liquidating assets in order to close an account.
  • automating reallocation of all accounts in a model each quarter (or other regular periodic schedule) or because a market change has suggested prudent adjustments.
     
  • reallocating all accounts to raise funds to pay management fees.
     
  • analyzing each account using the Variance Report to compare current holdings with the model’s target percentages.
     
  • creating transactions to buy or sell as needed to meet the model’s target percentages. A report shows each trade that was created.
     
  • allowing the release of trades by asset as each trade is executed.
