Portman Universal Asset Management
The day-to-day operations of an asset manager, from portfolios to the general ledger, in one system.
Overview
Portman provides what an asset management company needs to manage clients’ money: managing assets, running end-of-day operations, calculating fees, keeping the accounts and producing the reports management requires.
It covers assets beyond exchange-listed stocks, manages bank accounts and brokers, and supports the full operating calendar, including special working days.
Asset management companies trade on behalf of clients under contract, and must account for every asset, fee and document. Spreading that work across separate tools makes it slow and hard to audit.
