Intro

EXIMIUS AS A SERVICE, DESIGNED WITH YOUR

BUSINESS IN MIND

Portfolio Managers require instant

access to client portfolios and market

information to deliver performance at

agreed cost and risk level, and enhance

client wealth and can no longer rely on

spreadsheets and outdated systems

to efficiently make and act on sound

investment decisions.

To ensure efficiency, administrative

and routine tasks such as monitoring,

reporting, regulatory compliance,

rebalancing and order generation must

be automated.

Client retention and acquisition is

dependent on satisfying their demands

for the highest levels of service,

reporting and order generation.

managers with the tools to make fast

decisions, execute those decisions in

a volatile market and provide their

and informative reports detailing

performance, profitability and risk.

for companies to worry about

infrastructure, operational support or

software upgrades, since eXimius as a

Service is hosted by Objectway removing

the burden of managing the system

by internal IT staff. Your company

can immediately take advantage of

cloud computing for its front office

investment management applications.

day investment portfolio management.

set up and execute cross portfolio queries.

security holding information. For example, select all discretionary

portfolios, which do not hold Oil and Gas and have excess cash.

transaction buy/sell scenarios, to simulate the effect on the

portfolio and compare to the model or strategy.
