Investics DARTS Porfolios Daily Holdings

The Investics DARTS Portfolio Daily Holdings service provides daily delivery of institutional portfolios held or accounted for at financial institutions including custodians, fund administrators and investment managers. This service requires authorization from the owner of the portfolio(s), as well as a subscription to Investics Cloud Ecosystem (ICE). An Investics servicing representative will help confirm these subscriptions upon request.

This service provides the full detail of data that a financial institution is able to provide. This could include data ranging across portfolio name, holdings date, security identifier(s), security name, units held, share status, asset classification, price and market value, to name a few. Data will be normalized across financial institution sources in order to process/analyze portfolios consistently. Holdings data is delivered securely and exclusively through the Investics Cloud Ecosystem (ICE) with all data encrypted at rest. A supplementary set of standard reference files will also be provided as part of this DARTS offering.

In order to subscribe to this Investics DARTS offering, users are required to have authorization from the owners of the portfolio(s) and have a subscription to Investics Cloud Ecosystem (ICE). An Investics service representative will assist in confirming both the authorization and the ICE subscription. Upon authorization and subscription to this service, portfolio holdings will automatically be aggregated and delivered through Investics ICE.

Investics DARTS is designed to deliver datasets ready for downstream software consumption (BI Tools, report writers, cloud services, data lakes, data warehouses, databases and spreadsheets, just to name a few) by normalizing content across different data sources and remediating common anomalies which can cause data to be misinterpreted, rejected, dropped, misaligned or require additional redundant manual steps to make the data usable.

The required Investics Cloud Ecosystem (ICE) subscription will automatically flow Investics DARTS subscription data in multiple file formats, along with its metadata, straight through into ICE in order to automatically stitch related data together (including holdings and reference data) and generate materialized views, data cubes (ICE Cubes) and data marts instantly connectable to value added data management capabilities, calculation engines and visualizations to accommodate an almost unlimited set of use cases.

Background - ICE is a native cloud investment data and analytics platform-as-a-service (PaaS). ICE can help institutional investors achieve “The Complete Investment Picture” across the multi-asset class risk and return spectrum. Running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Investics ICE is a next generation native cloud investment data and analytics platform which combines data collection, aggregation, modeling and management with dynamic calculation engines and visualizations to meet common institutional investor industry requirements including performance measurement, risk analytics, investment compliance and regulatory reporting.

ICE has four primary components:​

1. DARTS Data Aggregation Remediation Transformation Service - DARTS is a data delivery supermarket delivered through AWS Data Exchange. Subscribers can easily procure vendor data modeled and optimized for immediate use in downstream cloud and non-cloud software, BI Tools and systems. Data available through DARTS today include portfolio holdings and transactions, ESG, risk statistics, characteristics, benchmarks, security master and reference.
2. Fusion Data fabric construct - manage and govern the stitching and modeling of different institutional investor datasets for almost any downstream investment data and analytics use case. Data wrangling recipes provided via crowdsourcing. Automatically generate fit-for-purpose materialized views, data cubes and data marts.
3. IMPRES In-Memory Performance Risk Engine System - next generation performance and risk analytical engine which has maximum flexibility to instantly calculate in real time a truly customized risk and return service. IMPRES can accommodate some of today’s toughest performance measurement challenges including ABOR to IBOR to PBOR transformation, appropriate handling of private investments, flexible hierarchies,attribution and risk.
4. Vision Data visualization - produce highly customized interactive dashboards and reports with embedding capabilities to seamlessly integrate visualizations into clients’ own websites.

All of the ICE components are designed to deliver datasets ready for downstream software consumption (BI Tools, report writers, cloud services, data lakes, data warehouses, databases and spreadsheets, just to name a few) by normalizing content across different data sources and remediating common anomalies which can cause data to be misinterpreted, rejected, dropped, misaligned or require additional redundant manual steps to make the data usable. In addition, all of the ICE components can work independently or in tandem with each other. In fact, ICE will automatically flow DARTS subscription data, along with its metadata, straight through into ICE in order to automatically stitch related data together (including holdings and reference data) and generate materialized views, data cubes and data marts instantly connectable to value added data management capabilities, calculation engines and visualizations to accommodate an almost unlimited set of use cases.

For existing subscribers to AWS, it takes only about 10 minutes and costs virtually nothing to subscribe to ICE. ICE itself takes about 3 minutes to spin up once a subscriber has clicked through the subscription agreement options and provided some contact information. Upon verification by an Investics support staff member, a new subscriber receives a link to their hosted ICE environment via email and they are up and running. After a subscription to either ICE or a new DARTS offering it takes about 36 hours for DARTS subscription data and ICE to synchronize and begin to auto update your Investics ICE Bucket.
