The ability to track and report on financial instruments is at the core of any portfolio management solution. Many systems deal with basic stocks and mutual funds but have problems tracking and reporting on more exotic instruments like bonds, options, and futures. FinFolio Workstation has a rich accounting engine that handles most investment instruments and account structures without workarounds.

FinFolio Workstation has comprehensive support for most financial instruments, including stocks, funds and ETFs. An integrated pricing engine calculates bond prices, yields, amortization, and accretion. It covers treasuries, zero curve, fixed-interest bonds, forward rates/FRAs, duration and convexity. Options, futures and many other types of derivatives are handled too. FinFolio tracks all accounts in their native currency and uses different currencies at report time.

FinFolio handles "time sensitivity" issues by being time aware of major portfolio changes like model changes and drifting security class allocations. Run historical reports, and they will accurately reflect your accounts and portfolios as they actually were at the time of the report. No need to restore data backups or monitor reports for changes to portfolio data before they go to clients.

Manually allocate specific cost lots or specify automatic allocation methods at the account or transaction level. Automatic methods include LIFO, FIFO, Highest, Lowest, MinTax, and Average. FinFolio effortlessly handles splits, spinoffs, mergers, margin trades, short positions, and other tricky tax situations.  FinFolio will also automatically detect wash sales, constructive sales and straddles.

You can track not only long term and short term gain, but also gain from collectibles, qualified small business stock, SSBIC, Section 1256 gain, and unrecaptured 1250 gain. Automatically analyze qualified dividends, correctly treating non-qualified dividends as ordinary income rather than short term capital gains.

Calculate dollar-weighted (IRR) and time-weighted (TWR) returns that are GIPS and AIMR compliant. Compare portfolio performance to benchmarks at multiple levels, including asset, class and sector. Performance can be reported before/after fees, sales charges and estimated taxes.

You can create GIPS-compliant composites of your portfolios for marketing purposes. Or measure attribution by tracking the value added by the manager over a benchmark for portfolio returns. Track absolute risk, downside risk, and relative risk.
