We run a project for a family office envolved in asset management of high net worth individuals residing in US. The scope of project considers switch to unified trading and analytical tool for portfolio management and systematic rebalancing of portfolio of US stocks. We are considering next to launch of our Amazon Quicksight analytics data management tools to switch from several trading platforms with no definite segregation for back to front operations to use unified Charles River Portfolio Management & Risk Analytics account to manage our shareholder investment activity. The Charles River Portfolio Management & Risk Analytics is primarly focused on bonds trading which fits our current strategy to use automated approach and rely on large and respected custodian account so we are waiting our successfull account transfer.

  • CDS are available for trading (exlusive offering)
  • Portfolio construction
  • Yield analytics
  • Exotics: SWAPs, SWAPtions
  • Sophisticated options analytics

Cons
  • Equities - microstructure to consider detection of iceberg orders
  • Build in algos for large trades execution
  • Corporate or Banking level platform - not focused on mid sized business
  • SAP connectivity
  • Only Charles River Portfolio Management & Risk Analytics accounts
  • No trading group accounts capabilities

If your are large asset management company focused mostly on interest rate products and you are large institutional trader your way is the use of Charles River Portfolio Management & Risk Analytics account which is most reputable custodian institution which offers superior tool for bonds trading - Charles River IMS. Charles River Portfolio Management & Risk Analytics is focused on large bond traders, so is not offered for small hedge funds. It is not appropriate if you are small account holder and focused more on stock market offerings, margin trading and less focused on custodian reputation. There is no separate risk module for trading group risk management.
  • Systematic: Charles River Portfolio Management & Risk Analytics is respectable custodian
  • Trading: we want to focus more on bonds
  • Trading: 1-10% of portfolion for exotic instruments like CDS, metal SWAPS
  • Third party coonectivity to book keeping
  • Available for API integrations
  • Cloud Based
  • Neutral. We are in system migration process.
  • We expect to get our P&L less volatile (+/- 5%). More international bonds in a mix
  • Top custodian is our first priority
Charles River Portfolio Management & Risk Analytics is a state of the art company which owns state of the art products Charles River Portfolio Management & Risk Analytics. If you are considering long term value, capital preservation strategy and pension funds management that is the right choice if holdien one account versus several to get systematic diversification. You can run even department of banks treasury with use of Charles River Portfolio Management & Risk Analytics. So good but focused on large investors needs and diversification focus.
Interactive Brokers, Active Trader Pro (Fidelity Investments), E*TRADE
