Tools To Help Your Clients

Performance Reporting

The market for outsourcing performance reporting is maturing as the demand for advisory services continues to grow. In an increasingly competitive environment, new advisors are looking for cost-effective ways to differentiate themselves in the eyes of current, prospective, and increasingly sophisticated clients.

Designed especially for the ultra-affluent investor, Fortigent’s consolidated performance reporting can help set you apart from the competition. Our performance reports are generated by the same team of Fortigent professionals who help you manage each detail of a client’s portfolio—right down to account reconciliation. And because these reports are customized, they carry your private label, preserving your brand identity and earning the confidence of your clients.

The benefits of our consolidated performance reporting are extensive:
  • More than simple screen scraping, Fortigent offers true data aggregation regardless of custodian. As a standard offering, we provide a consolidated report on all assets within the investor’s portfolio—even those assets not under your direct advisement. Being your client’s one source of performance information is an important step toward becoming the client’s trusted advisor.
  • Time- and dollar-weighted performance, both gross and net of fees. Time-weighted performance allows for an apples-to-apples comparison of different managers, while dollar-weighted performance provides a more accurate picture of actual spendable return for the specific investor.
  • A unique “roll up” report design. With this design, you and your client can analyze the performance of a portfolio, asset class, or an individual manager.
  • A risk-adjusted return analysis based on the principles of Alpha-star*. This metric allows you to determine the value an investment consultant adds to performance. You can show your client the added value of both your asset allocation recommendations and active manager selection, comparing them to an institutional or customized benchmark. Fortigent is one of very few firms providing this performance metric, which not only incorporates risk-adjusted return but helps measure “advisors alpha” or the added value you bring to the table.
  • Manager performance information. Consolidated reporting provides a comparison of how an individual manager performs in relation to peers or the broader universe of managers. This information also makes it possible to compare that performance to hundreds of different standardized or customized benchmarks.
  • An ability to create multiple customized performance composites. Fortigent’s reporting tools allow advisors to customize reports for individual and combined investment entities, and this tool is especially useful when working with family offices or complex family wealth situations.
  • The ability to track and report on illiquid investments. Whether their clients are invested in hedge funds, private equity, or real estate—assets increasingly prominent in high net worth portfolios—advisors will be able to monitor the performance of these alternatives with Fortigent’s reporting tools.
  • Tracking of all portfolio cash inflows and outflows. Fortigent’s consolidated reporting makes sure you and your client know exactly where the money is with each transaction.
  • Complete transparency of all fees (custodial, manager, and consultant). By monitoring fees, your client can track true spendable investment performance.
