Release Notes: Enhance Portfolio Management with Switch Trades, Composite Account Management, and a Total Holdings Dashboard

Simplify bond swaps across accounts with new switch trade functionality

Do you struggle to view the opportunity and impact of a suggested switch trade, quickly? Instead of manually reviewing swap opportunities account by account, you can now automate the process to determine which portfolios hold the bond and how much to buy on the other side. IMTC’s switch trade functionality takes the guess work out of that process so you can easily analyze and execute before the opportunity passes you by.
Using the switch trade functionality, you can:

• Easily narrow the list of portfolios that contain the bond in order to sell out of the position across all clients
• Run scenarios to see the pre- and post-trade impact of a switch trade on all portfolios
• Limit the purchase market value to be less than the market value sold
• Automate the switch trade process across accounts for a 1-to-1 swap

Manage groups of portfolios as a composite account more effectively

Many fixed income managers manage groups of accounts (e.g., for a family) and need portfolio management capabilities that handle hierarchies. Often, these portfolios have rules that apply to the portfolios as a composite. With IMTC’s account feature, PMs can manage groups of accounts with more flexibility and ease.
Using accounts, you can:

• View an aggregated summary of all the portfolios in the composite including returns, characteristics, and analytics
• Create compliance rules and targets at the account level to ensure unique guidelines are managed accurately
• Optimize across portfolios in the composite ensuring the account restrictions are upheld
• Report on the account easily showing a rolled-up view of the portfolios

Access securities and exposures across the firm with total holdings dashboard

Sometimes you not only need to see exposures across groups of accounts, but across all accounts at your firm. You need to see what bonds are coming due, have upcoming call dates, were recently downgraded, etc. and need to see which accounts hold those securities. With IMTC’s total holdings, users can view lot-level details of all their holdings in a single screen.
Using total holdings, you can:

• View exposures and characteristics for securities across accounts and at the aggregate level
• Search and filter across all your portfolios for securities using 250+ pre-defined parameters or custom fields and metrics
