independent, daily balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows for portfolios and aggregates.

Compliance Clearwater Analytics’ compliance module monitors the status of the aggregate and individual investment portfolios daily in relation to the investment policy and delivers automated notification of current violations and maintains a history of prior violations. The Clearwater Analytics system handles rules related to both exposure - concentration, duration, credit, currency – and accounting including maximum realized gains or losses. The compliance module identifies what is out of compliance, why it is out of compliance and how the portfolio can be returned to compliance.
Performance Clearwater Analytics’ performance module allows investors to compare the performance of their investment managers to each other and to custom benchmarks using consistent assumptions. Custom performance reports and return calculations are available according to fiscal cycle and are designed to meet applicable GIPS calculation standards. Portfoliolevel performance attribution explains the primary factors affecting performance and the Information and Sharpe Ratios provide insight into risk adjusted returns.
Risk Clearwater Analytics’ risk module provides tools for investors to measure, understand and report on portfolio risk. The solution provides risk reporting across multiple asset classes including issuer, security type, currency and country concentrations. Fixed income risk reporting includes duration, sector, credit rating (with credit watch), and issuer concentration. Equity risk reporting includes market cap, beta, price/earnings and sector concentration.
Risk summary reports have drill-down capabilities to
display the underlying data at the tax lot level. Additional tools include Value at Risk calculations for individual and aggregate portfolios.
SAS70-Type II Clearwater Analytics supports its processes with a SAS70 Type II audit report issued three times each year.
