Comprehensive Portfolio Management

Maximize efficiency and reduce risk with a single portfolio management platform.

APX leverages a single SQL database to deliver critical client and prospect information to operations, marketing, and portfolio managers via a web-based user interface. Having a single technology platform across multiple lines of business eliminates the need to transfer or re-enter client and portfolio information among different databases, saving time and reducing errors.

Multi-Asset Class and Multi-Currency  
APX lets you maintain a single platform for all your firm's assets and account for them in virtually any currency.

  • Manage and report on a wide range of international instruments: equities, mutual funds, fixed income, derivatives, and variable rate securities. 
  • Track and analyze fixed income characteristics, including yield method, amortization and accretion, duration, odd coupon dates, ratings, tax status, and more. 
  • Select accounting treatments: tax lot or average cost accounting, trade date, or settlement date accounting. 
  • Manage and report on portfolios grouped in a variety of ways: by manager, asset class, investment objective, or any category desired. 
  • Take advantage of the integrated multicurrency capabilities built into the core - easily used if a firm needs it, transparent if it doesn't. 

Built-in Performance Analytics
With APX’s performance analytics tools, you can easily pinpoint the sources of portfolio performance and demonstrate to clients how your decisions add value.

  • Performance attribution. Identify the sources of portfolio performance relative to a benchmark or model portfolio, evaluate the impact of weighting and security selection decisions, and easily drill down from sector to individual security.
  • Performance contribution. Pinpoint the drivers of portfolio performance by quantifying what sectors, industries, or securities had the greatest impact on performance. Rank order of contribution detail to show top and bottom contributors to portfolio or benchmark return.
  • Exposure. Compare the portfolio sector or security weights to a benchmark and view changes over time.
  • Risk. Analyze a portfolio’s risk, volatility, and risk-adjusted return based on historical performance with ex-post risk statistics.
