vestr's Investment Management Software Solution
Why Investment Management Software matters
Managing investments isn't getting any simpler. There's more money flowing around, markets are global, and investments themselves (like structured products) are more complicated than ever. Clients want more information and personalized service, and technology is changing fast. Just knowing your stuff isn't enough anymore; you need good technology to help you handle it all.
This is where specialized software like vestr's investment management software solution comes in. Trying to manage huge amounts of data, make quick decisions, deal with complex products, and keep up with rules and risks using spreadsheets or old methods just doesn't cut it anymore.
vestr's investment management software solution helps by giving you tools to be more efficient, control risk better, make smarter decisions, and stay competitive.
What Exactly is vestr's investment management software solution
Think of vestr's DELTA platform as a central command center for investment professionals, especially those who create and manage investment products like Actively Managed Certificates (AMCs) and other structured products. It’s software, delivered online (cloud-based), designed to bring all your investment management activities together in one place, making things easier and more efficient. Banks, investment firms, and wealth managers use it to look after their clients' assets.
DELTA helps with the whole process: from setting up a new investment product, making trades, calculating performance and fees, checking compliance rules, handling background tasks like corporate actions, all the way to creating reports for clients or internal use. By automating the routine stuff and keeping information in one place, DELTA gives you more control and reduces mistakes.
DELTA is specifically built for managing investment products. It combines portfolio tracking with tools essential for creating and managing products like AMCs, including flexible rebalancing options, detailed ways to handle events like coupon payments or expiries, complex fee setups, and strong compliance checks. It runs online (as a SaaS tool on Google Cloud Platform), meaning you don't need to manage servers, and updates happen regularly.
What vestr's investment management software solution can do for you
vestr's DELTA platform comes packed with features designed for the day-to-day work of managing investment products. Here's a look at just some of the features it offers:
- Keeping track of portfolios: Get a clear, current picture of your investment products. DELTA handles any asset types: stocks, bonds, futures, options, structured products, crypto, you name it. It handles different product structures (like fund-style or certificate-style). You can even look back and see what a product looked like on a specific date in the past.
- Measuring performance and calculating fees: DELTA calculates the value (NAV) of your products daily, with checks to make sure it's accurate. It's particularly strong at handling fees, whether they're simple management fees, complex performance fees linked to benchmarks, or other custom setups. You can track fees, make corrections if needed, and even manage some fee tasks automatically through its API. Performance charts and figures are built into its reporting tools.
- Managing risk and compliance: DELTA helps you stay within the lines using its flexible rule system. You can set up specific limits for each product, such as which assets are allowed or blocked, minimum/maximum holdings, exposure limits by country or sector, or even how often you can rebalance. These checks can happen pre and post trade and also contionniously, helping prevent mistakes. It keeps a detailed log of all channges, which is great for audits.
- Handling orders and rebalancing: Making changes to portfolios (rebalancing) is central to active management, and DELTA has powerful tools for this. You can enter single trades, upload lists of trades, import a target portfolio, set up rule-based adjustments, or reinvest cash automatically. It understands different ways of specifying trades (such as target weights) and handles complexities like managing currency hedges or dealing with expiring options or futures. It connects directly with brokers like Interactive Brokers or Crypto Finance and can use the standard FIX protocol for trading. It can even create the necessary hedge trades automatically when money flows in or out of certain products.
- Creating reports: Getting information out to clients or for internal use is easy with DELTA. You can create reports in multiple languages and customize them heavily with your own branding (logos, colors). You choose what information (cards) to include: charts showing performance, risk, holdings breakdowns, tables of top movers, recent trades, etc.. You can customize columns, number formats, add comments, and disclaimers. See previews before finalizing, save templates, create reports for past dates, and even have reports emailed automatically. You can also control exactly what external users (clients) get to see.
All this relies on good data. DELTA helps by letting you import information easily (manually or automatically via SFTP) and/ or by connecting to data providers like Bloomberg, Solactive, or Clarity AI for ESG data.
