MVest solution overview

Portfolio Administrators

Powerful back office functionality

To ensure advisors, portfolio managers and fund accountants are able to focus on their core responsibilities, it is very important that things run smoothly in the back office. Portfolio administrators verify that portfolios, securities and accounts are set up correctly; prices are properly updated; holdings and transactions are properly reconciled; and that countless other tasks are managed effectively. In short, administrators oversee the proper functioning of those tasks that are critical to the success of a firm.

Increase your efficiency

MVest makes an administrator’s job easier in many ways.

  • Ease of navigation and data retrieval
  • Integration of back and front office (avoid duplication of data)
  • Interfaces to other systems
  • Extensive and flexible reporting

Let’s look at these in more detail.

Shorten your learning curve

MVest uses common point and click navigation standards, making it easy for users to feel comfortable with the system quickly. Our newly modernized architecture ensures fast response times for efficient data entry.

Find information quickly

Information is easy to find, with multi-parameter wildcard searches and embedded lookups that allow the user to pinpoint the required data quickly.

Access online support

When in doubt, users can access the online “iLearn” tutorials – our step-by-step animated educational modules that walk the user through every screen in the system.

Reduce duplication

One of the biggest headaches for an administrator is the duplication of information. The same items often have to be manually entered in several systems. With MVest, the front and back office functionality is fully integrated, so items entered by administrators are immediately available to advisors, managers and other users of the system and vice versa. For example, when an order is filled in the back office, it is immediately reflected in the front office when an advisor runs a valuation report.

Import and export information

In situations where information needs to be shared between different systems, MVest has a built-in interface module that allows the user to import and export transactions, holdings information, prices and security information rather than manually keying it in.

Generate on-demand reports...

MVest spans a wide range of functionality, from front to mid to back office, which results in a lot of stored information. MVest makes it easy to access this information, with over 400 on-demand reports that can be scheduled or run at the click of a button.

...in the format you require

All reports can be generated in multiple formats, such as pdf, xls, rtf (Word), html and csv, providing the flexibility to use the report as is or to incorporate reports into other documents and/or presentations.

Tailor the system to suit your needs

MVest has many configuration options, from system-wide setup options to account-by-account processing parameters. These options allow administrators to tailor the processing of portfolios, accounts and securities as required depending on the specific situation.

Take advantage of easy data entry

Data entry in MVest is straightforward and easy to do. Whether users are more comfortable using only the keyboard or a combination of keyboard and mouse, MVest makes it simple to enter the information needed into the system.

Validate your data on-the-fly

MVest checks the data entered field-by-field before the record is updated to ensure it is valid, with warnings and alerts to let the user know if an error has been made or if a value may not be valid for a particular field.

Easily adjust entries...

Despite all of MVest’s checks and balances, there is always the chance that information may be entered in error. This is why CGI has made it easy to correct and edit information in the system. From simple field edits to transaction cancellation and rebooking, MVest makes it simple to correct any errors made in the system, with full recalculation of values, costs and accruals where required.

...with a full audit trail

When adjustments are made, it is important to track who made the adjustment, when it was made and why. All transactional information is fully audited in MVest, with the audit records easily accessible.

Explain your actions

MVest also provides the ability to enter comments for certain records to explain why something was changed.
