Captool

 

Captool is an easy to use portfolio management program that allows customized reporting and great flexibility.

Captool portfolio management software is an investment record keeping, performance measurement and portfolio management reporting tool designed for professional money managers and for others entrusted with managing or reporting on investment assets.

Captool is designed to assist the investment professional in growing his or her business. Professional versions of Captool incorporate time-saving features important to professional money managers, such as broker/dealer data interfaces, batch reporting, portfolio re-balancing, fee billing and client contact management. Hedge fund accounting is included with Captool Professional Investor Level 3 and Level 4 to accurately track and report on pooled investments.

Captool allows you to maintain complete records of all portfolio transactions, periodically value your portfolios, track investment cost bases, compute investment return on investment (ROI) performance, and generate reports and graphs.

Captool Professional Level 2 - Incremental Features  


Multi-User Licensing

Captool Professional, Level 2 is licensed for up to 3 users at a single site to accommodate the needs of financial advisors who work with one or two partners or assistants. If licenses are needed for more than 3 users, or for multiple sites, multiple copies of Captool may be licensed. (Note: Any person who sends reports generated by Captool to clients and/or who operates the program is considered a "user" under Captool licensing terms.)


Network Installation

Captool Professional, Level 2 supports network installation of Captool. Typically it will be installed on workstations, up to the number of licensed users, and shared data will reside on a server or on one of the workstations. To facilitate network operation, Captool Pro Level 2 permits you to implement file access controls to protect against changes made by one user from being interfered with by another user.


Electronic Report Dissemination

Captool Professional, Level 2 provides you with the capability to electronically issue reports by e-mail and or fax. This is achieved via two companion programs, "Mailserve" and "Faxserve", which Captool Pro 2 operates to send reports and other client communications. Reports sent via Mailserve may be encrypted to ensure secure transmission. (Note: Adobe Acrobat Writer is required to use Mailserve reporting capability).


Multiple Broker/Dealer and DST and DAZL Import Support

Captool Professional, Level 2 permits you to assign an unlimited number of brokerage or mutual fund accounts to a given Captool account. This enables you to import data from those data sources into a single Captool portfolio. Level 2 also is required for users of mutual fund data clearing services such as DST's Fan Mail and DAZL from PFPC Global Fund Services. Certain other institutional interfaces may also require Level 2 on higher.


Fee by Class Support

Captool Professional, Level 2 supports calculation of fees by asset class.


Re-balancing by Asset Class and Allocation Model Reporting

Captool Professional, Level 2 supports automated re-balancing of portfolios by asset class as well as by specific asset. This ensures that an asset is not sold, only to be replaced by an asset of the same class during allocation driven trade generation. Level 2 also supports inclusion of pie chart graphics of your model allocation in reports for comparison with similar graphics of actual allocation.


Cross-reference Report Graphics

Captool Professional, Level 2 supports inclusion of graphics (allocation pie charts, valuation and growth charts) on cross-reference position (where held) and performance reports. Additional cross-reference reports including open lots, trades, realized/unrealized gains are also provided.

Captool Professional Level 3- Incremental Features


Web Site Report Distribution Support

Captool Professional, Level 3 can generate PDF format reports and automatically distribute them to separate client directories on a web server. You may also generate and distribute to these directories a cover letter with appropriate name, address, account number, etc. substitution. This permits your web server to host these reports, which your clients can access through your web site.


Pooled Funds Accounting
Captool Professional, Level 3 supports pooled "fund accounting". This feature permits accounting and reporting of the contributions of multiple participants into a common portfolio, similar to a small mutual fund. This can be done separate from or in conjunction with independently managed accounts. In the latter case, fund transactions automatically flow into the independent portfolios. Fund accounting reports include valuation, composition, ROI and graphics. Fund accounting can be used for hedge funds, foundations, and multi-beneficiary trusts.


The basic fund accounting implementation allows up to 25 participants and up to $10M in pooled funds. Higher numbers of participants and dollar values are supported but are subject to a fund accounting licensing surcharge averaging 2 basis points/annum (actual rate may vary depending upon breakpoints).


Re-balancing by Asset Group and Re-balancing on Margin

Captool Professional, Level 3 supports account re-balancing by asset group and re-balancing of margined accounts. Asset group allocations operate in a fashion similar to asset class allocations available in Pro Level 2, but permit the allocation focus to be based upon industry group rather than asset size class. Allocation on margin may be implemented by specifying a negative cash allocation up to -100%.


Incentive Fee Billing

Captool Professional, Level 3 supports profit based, incentive fee billing. The incentive may be set relative to a profit benchmark, e.g. profit over "x%". "High water mark" treatment may also be optionally implemented to prevent incentive fees on market re-tracements.


Specialty B/D Import Interfaces
A number of broker/dealer interfaces which are less frequently demanded or increased complexity to develop and support will be supported in Captool Professional, Level 3. Please call if you need an interface not currently listed as supported by Captool.

Captool Professional Level 4 - Incremental Features


Credit Interest Record Generation

Captool Professional, Level 4 provides a batch utility to compute credit and debit interest on cash balances and generate "Interest on balance" transactions. These can be directly inserted in the account portfolios or generated to the transaction blotter for later transfer or export. Different interest rates may be applied to debit and credit balances.


Cash/Margin Accounting
Captool Professional, Level 4, supports explicit cash/margin accounting of investments within each portfolio. This means that each transaction can be designated as occurring within either the "cash" or "margin" sub-account, and holdings are reported accordingly. Cash to Margin and Margin to Cash transactions (CMX) permit transfers of holdings between sub-accounts. (Note: Advisors who are not custodians of their clients' assets generally will not need cash/margin accounting).


Large Fund Accounting (up to 500 Participants)

Captool Professional Level 4, supports up to 500 participants in a fund accounting portfolio. A fund accounting licensing surcharge averaging 2 basis points/annum (actual rate may vary depending upon breakpoints), is charged for this feature.
