Our products are designed for investment firms, investment advisors, fund managers, family offices and for others entrusted with managing significant investment assets.
Our newest product, Captools/net, is an open data base compliant SQL based, scalable multi-user portfolio management system that runs on your server, under your control. Captools/net incorporates time-saving features important to professional money managers, such as automated custodian data import interfaces, highly customizable automated reporting, portfolio re-balancing and trade generation, flexible fee billing and client contact management. Optional features include multi-currency support and pooled funds accounting for hedge funds and other pooled funds investment situations such as family partnerships and limited liability corporations.
Captools/net provides the investment manager with a complete set of return on investment performance measures for client presentation and to assist in providing the manager with feedback on investment selection and timing. ROI's can be computed using both *AIMR/GIPS-capable time weighted and dollar weighted internal rate of return methods. ROI's can be computed for individual securities, groups of securities, portfolios or groups of portfolios, before and after taxes and before and after commissions and fees. Captools/net computations and reports also generate alpha, beta, standard deviation, correlation and other performance and risk related statistics versus user-specified market indices, including a variety of user specifiable synthetic indices.
Captools/net investment cost bases tracking simplify capital gains reporting, lower tax accounting costs, and can reduce capital gains taxes. Specific, average (single & double category), FIFO, LIFO tax lots are supported. An automated tax lot assignment function allows the manager to select whether to minimize taxes or maximize gains (for loss offsets) when securities held in separate lots are liquidated. Tax rate tables are customizable for each portfolio to allow for differing tax rates and changes in tax laws. Allowance has been made for Canadian and other non-U.S. users, including support for Canadian average cost basis and optional cost basis indexing.

Selecting from hundreds of data fields and dozens of report and charting templates, an almost limitless variety of reports can be constructed.
