eQuate brings to financial institution the following Portfolio Management capabilities.

Integrated KYC
This module allows an IA or an investor to fill an electronic questionnaire to determine the investor’s profile. The answers to each of the questions are kept in the database for later retrieval. Yearly, the system prompts the user to reassess this profile.

The strength of this module is that it is entirely customizable by an in house administrator. The institution can configure the questionnaire, the choice of answers, and determines the weight of each answer as per its profiling model. At present both English and French languages are supported.

Investment Guide
The purpose of this module is to allow an institution to propose an asset allocation for each investor profile and then to monitor portfolios based on the recommendation. For example, an institution could recommend for a conservative investor a 10% cash, 60% income and 30% growth asset allocation. The investment guide would raise an alert for each conservative investor that has a portfolio diverging from this recommendation. Therefore, the module monitors the portfolio’s compliance with the investor’s profile.

Investor Portfolio Management
This module provides portfolio management capabilities to the investment advisor (IA). It allows to review basic information by account and group of accounts (portfolios) in various ways. Above basic functions, it calculates performance returns, accrued interests, fixed income yields, asset allocations and foreign content. It manages securities categorization, indexes and off book positions. A virtual portfolio is also provided for simulations. In addition, many reports are included like the Annual Projected Income Report, the Realized Gain/Loss Report and the Performance Report.

Real Time Quotes

Bulk Trading
This module provides a powerful tool to the financial institutions, allowing them to considerably decrease the trade fees paid to the Stock Exchanges and the clearinghouses.

Order Entry Management
This module includes all the basic order entry functionality and more. Amongst extended capabilities, there is a commission calculator allowing the IA to manipulate the commission and calculate his net compensation.
