Reporting
Merlin's Proprietary Portfolio Reporting System
At the heart of Merlin's offerings is a dynamic data aggregation system that can consolidate multiple Prime Broker/custodian data—even when Merlin is not the Prime Broker.
Merlin's system is unique. Reporting on Assets Under Management as well as assets held by other Prime Brokers, the system consolidates Prime Broker/custodian data sources in a single reporting package. Clients can view individual fund level reports or aggregated "roll-up" reports of their entire portfolio, groups of accounts or partnerships.
Market forces drive fund managers to maintain a comprehensive understanding of their position and performance attribution and to provide a high level of transparency to investors. Merlin provides the technology that enables fund managers to bucket data and achieve this result.
Prime Brokerage clients can access a full suite of Prime Brokerage reports that are dynamic and customizable. Historical data is stored virtually forever and reports can be run on any user specified time interval or bucket.
Reporting System Features:
- Performance is calculated using the Daily Exact Methodology - taking into account daily cash flows and performance, a step beyond traditional Modified Dietz.
- Security and sector level analysis reporting is integral and easy to access.
- Clients select key criteria for the calculations used in their reports.
