Overview

Cash Allocation and Rebalancing

Cash allocation and rebalancing on old systems or spreadsheets is fraught with operational risk and is often heavily exposed to key person risk, particularly in a find of funds or master-feeder structure. InvestPro optimises this process by automating the capture of a customers’ cash movements into fund of fund structures and converts these into trade orders. Specifically designed for the life and pensions industry, InvestPro generates forecasted cash flows from estimated data in advance of the asset valuation points to comply with the fund of funds’ investment mandates and ensure other unit holders’ investments do not get diluted or enhanced by daily cash positions.

InvestPro offers the most advanced fund-of-funds technology available and is proven to deliver operational efficiency gains whilst reducing operational and key person risks.

The rebalancing of a funds of funds structure can be done passively with new cashflows or actively as required. InvestPro also caters for a  schedule of future targets to manage the fund of funds’ allocations as the mandate changes over time.
