Analytics

Overview

FA’s Analytics provides you with a detailed overview of your investments. It enables you to analyze your portfolios and securities in the system from different angles. Portfolio analytics lets you compare your investments, use a benchmark, and view how your investments have contributed to your portfolio’s performance according to the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS). Security analytics provides security perfomance data and lets you compare it with the benchmark index.

Functionality

Analyze key metrics and group analysis results on your chosen levels and hierarchies

  • Analyze your data with broad range of metrics - select to analyze your data (see below for available metrics) and key performance figures according to GIPS - Global Investment Performance Standards. Certain key measures are also available as figures for 1, 3, 6 and 12 months and year-to-date (YTD).

  • Add your own metrics - Calculate custom metrics based on your own formula, view calculated values and use them in reports.

  • Select a time period for your analysis - you can manually select the start and end of your analysis, or select time period for your analysis from pre-defined options of Current/Previous day, Last N days, Current/Previous week, Current/Previous month, Last N months, Current/Previous quarter, Current/Previous half-year, Current/Previous year or From beginning.

  • Group your analysis with different attributes and levels - group your portfolio analysis results with attributes such as Portfolio type, Portfolio's country, Portfolio's contact, Security, Position, Linked security, Type, Subtype, Classifications, Country, Currency, Issuer, Issuer group, Asset class, Asset type or Assets and liabilities. You can select from pre-defined groupings or build your own multi-level grouping with the available options.

  • Compare portfolio performance to portfolio strategy – analyze portfolio performance, view portfolio return, volatility, and attribution and compare them to portfolio strategy using Brinson attribution analysis.

  • Include underlying positions in your analysis – use the drill-down feature to view underlying positions of your investments, for example, positions of the funds you own. To be able to use this feature, you need to maintain the underlying positions in FA. You can visualize the drill-down hierarchy as a tree structure.

  • Export time series of underlying data – download time series of underlying data used for analysis in the XLS or XLSX file. You can use this data to see how Analytics+ figures are calculated and how the underlying data has changed over time.

Visualize the result of your analysis and export your data

  • Pre-define sets of parameters and metrics - choose different analysis measures as columns, define time period and grouping, and save your analysis as a tab. This allows you to pre-save different sets of metrics for continuous use.

  • Visualize certain results of your portfolio analysis with charts - visualize return (%), market and purchase value and allocation with pre-defined responsive charts. You can interact with the charts for example by selecting different items from your analysis or changing the grouping to view different allocations.

  • Compare performance of different levels - select different item from you analysis to visually compare the performance between selected instruments or groupings.

  • Export the results of your analysis - export the key metrics as XLS or PDF, or print out the graphs as PDF or in common picture formats.

Access analysis also via Analytics+ GraphQL API

  • Perform analysis through GraphQL API - you can access the full capabilities of the Analytics+ Engine via standard GraphQL API, allowing you to access all analytics via any web application. You can build custom requests to retrieve any analysis fields and groupings of your choice.
