PortfolioAnalyst Synopses Update

Institutional account Master users (Advisor Masters, Broker Masters, Fund Investment Managers and Proprietary Trading Group Masters) can create and save synopses, which are text-based cover letters, and then assign them to PortfolioAnalyst reports. Beginning with this release, you now create, save, edit or delete Synopses from the Synopses tab, and you can access this tab from the PortfolioAnalyst main screen. Previously, you could only access the Synopses tab from the report creation screen.

Model Statement Updates

Models provide an efficient method for advisors to manage multiple trading strategies for their clients without requiring them to open multiple accounts. Client investments are allocated among instruments in the Model based on the Model's allocation ratios as defined by the advisor. Advisors, Money Managers and Advisor clients can view Model Statements in Account Management on the Models page, provided models have been created in Trader Workstation.

Beginning with this release, we've updated the Models page and our Model Statements with the following options:

  • Model Summary - You can now view a Model Summary statement that summarizes data for all models for one or more accounts. The Model Summary includes the following sections: Accounts, Net Asset Value, Profit and Loss, Positions, Trades and Cash Report. For detailed field descriptions, see the Model Summary Report Reference, part of our Reporting Guide.
  • You can choose to view a Consolidated Model Statement for all models and one account.
  • You can choose to view a concatenated Model Statement, which shows data for all models joined together in a single statement.
  • You can now click the Select a Model check box to view and select a single model for a Model Statement for one account. Previously, selecting a model on this page was a two-step process.
  • The Models page has been modified to make these option easy to use.

For more information about the Models page, see Models in the Reporting Guide. This section of the Reporting Guide also includes a sample Model Statement and a sample Model Summary.
