Management Reporting

The Management Reporting functionality consists of an advanced query tool which provides performance and insightful information across multiple accounts and portfolios. These management reports provide a quick way to review family relationships or investment models, and to search for top performers or outliers. Management reporting features include:

  • Individual and/or consolidated portfolios
  • Portfolio, class, sub class, and other levels of detail
  • Customizable time periods
  • User-defined report filters based on account level codes
  • Flexible benchmark comparisons
  • Export to other desktop applications
Multiple pre-formatted management reports are included as default options, but the custom settings shown above allow reports to be tailored to your specific needs. These custom report queries can then be saved for future use and can be shared with users across your organization. Managers will find the filter capabilities especially valuable. The ability to look at a single data line for each branch, investment objective, or officer provides an essential high-level view of a firm's business.

Administrative Control Over User Access

Our easy-to-use online administrative tools allow the administrator to create, edit or delete users, as well as add or remove accounts assigned to users within the organization. Distinct User Types can be assigned to restrict site access and content, and entitlements can be manually adjusted on a per-user basis. Administrative capabilities give you the ability to:

  • Manage users and portfolio assignments
  • Assign entitlement access privileges
  • Create and assign static/blended benchmarks
  • Create/edit/delete consolidated reports

Data Processing and Maintenance

Flexibility begins with data processing. The ability to capture data from disparate sources, together with our industry leading data validation methodologies, allow you, with confidence, to outsource your data processing to Scorecard. Regardless of your data needs, Scorecard can capture the data electronically from the custodian or your back office system. Since you don't want to sacrifice historic client data when you transition your accounts to Scorecard, we capture as much historic data as is available.

Our proprietary data enrichment process begins by reconciling transactions, validating holdings, and performing benchmark comparisons before converting your raw accounting data into the comprehensive management and client reports outlined above. These Scorecard services provide you with the tools necessary to demonstrate the value your firm adds, build trust with your existing client base, manage risk, and win new assets from prospective customers.
