This will represent a huge advancement for the institutional investment consulting community,” said Blake McLaughlin, Vice President of Marketing at InvestorForce. “Institutional investors have traditionally been briefed on their performance quarterly, sometimes as much as 60 days after the quarter ends. With today’s markets, that is simply no longer acceptable. There is intense pressure to understand exposure to certain segments and securities, most recently financial services for example. INSIGHT will provide the depth and precision, in a timely manner, so that consultants and their clients can make better, more informed decisions.”
INSIGHT enhances the relationship between consultants and their clients by providing visibility, clarity and transparency to investments via a web portal. One key feature of INSIGHT is On-Demand Daily Performance (ODP). Unlike most performance reporting systems that have a “rear view” look at historical performance, INSIGHT enhances those views by providing daily, and intra quarter views of performance, positions, allocation and attributions. Available in InvestorForce’s Summer 2009 release, INSIGHT will be available through Institutional Consultants globally.
INSIGHT is a component of the InvestorForce Performance Reporting NetworkTM (iPRN) that supports institutional consultants in aggregating data, calculating performance and generating reports for over 1,000 of the world's largest and most sophisticated pension plans and endowments. With mounting concerns regarding market volatility, performance metrics and pension plan solvency, institutional consultants with access to the InvestorForce platform gain a significant competitive advantage to respond to their clients with timely and unique visibility. In addition, the iPRN platform allows institutional consultants to achieve significant efficiencies in generating reports for their clients through a robust, fully automated reporting process.
"This is an absolute differentiator in the highly competitive world of institutional consulting. Those organizations that offer this service to their clients will not only provide better visibility and transparency, but will have a clear competitive advantage,” said Jim Morrissey, CEO for InvestorForce
