Asset Types
The Security Master Service supports nearly every asset
type available. The level of detail we can provide on
each asset type is limited by the asset type and the
available data sources.
Equity
Standard Equity products are fully supported and there
is a wealth of information available on most products.
Sub types include: US Common & Preferred, ADR, Foreign
Common & Preferred, US & Foreign Convertibles.
Mutual & Commingled Funds
We can arrange data feeds for broad support in these
categories, however the level of detail and transparency
into a fund varies from fund to fund. In many cases
it is possible to obtain a detailed fund break down
for attribution and performance comparisons, although
this can be delayed by a quarter or more depending on
the reporting characteristics of the fund. Standardized
fund performance data is generally available for most
funds.
Separately Managed Accounts
& Wraps
Separately Managed Accounts are not an Asset Type. They
are true accounts owned by an individual or institution.
They are thus unique to a particular firm. We can however,
arrange to provide you with Manager information on their
particular Styles. (Manger+Style=SMA Product) We can
also provide you assistance in acquiring and viewing
performance information on your own separately managed
accounts; this however, is a different service: DataAggregation.com.
Fixed Income
We can provide extensive detail for most standard FI
products including: US Treasury, Agency, Municipal,
Corporate, ABS, MBS-Pools, MBS-CMO and Money Markets
and Foreign Sovereign. We also support Non-US Corporate,
Municipal and Other products, however the level of detail
varies with the country of origin and the security itself.
FX, Swaps, Futures, Commodities
and Options
We can support Futures, Commodities and Options in one
of two methods, either at the level required for standard
portfolio accounting or at the level required for Futures,
Commodities and Options accounting. Exchange traded
products provide a wealth of available data and are
readily researched. FX & standard Swaps generally
present no difficulty, but may have limited useful detail
depending on your application. Custom/OTC products can
be complicated and the level of detail available varies
and often involves the use of internal sources.
Alternative Investments
Depending on the investment, the level of detail can
vary significantly. Typically this category requires
the most extensive research and is subject to some of
the longest delays in reporting. Examples include Limited
Partnerships and VC Funds.
