Securities module

Types of trades supported : Equities, Bonds, Futures, Options, Funds, Partnership Investments and multiple other categories. Both long and short sell trades are supported. The system generates and posts accounting entries to the general ledger for realised gain/loss, unrealised gain/loss, commission and interest.

Inventory methods : 6 different inventory methods are supported ( including FIFO and average cost). These can be defined at a fund level and optional at a security type level ( e.g. so that futures can have a different inventory method from equities).

Flexible revaluation parameters : Revaluation of securities can be run daily, weekly, monthly or any other frequency specified by the user. If a revaluation price of a security has to be corrected , perform the correction and re-run the revaluation. All accounting entries will be automatically adjusted and will flow through into a revised NAV and financial statements.

Upload functions : Securities may be uploaded directly from a spreadsheet. Fixed format templates are available for 10 major Prime Brokers and additionally users can design custom upload templates within the system for other formats.

Security master enrichment /straight through processing : Uploads can create security masters automatically and enrich them by populating missing data from the price vendor feeds. When combined with the ability to schedule uploads to operate at set times it is possible to achieve straight through processing.

Price importation : Prices and foreign exchange rates can be imported from 3 major price vendors, subject to signing license agreements with those vendors. The price feeds can be set up to occur automatically at set times.

Fund of Funds Support : PFS-PAXUS has specific features to support Fund of Funds. These include the ability to enter % increase in market prices, storage of estimate / final prices and the ability to "regenerate" trades when an estimated price changes.

Investments in Partnership & Management Accounts : Users can enter investment amounts & market values for these types of investments (instead of number of shares and price per share).
