Functions Overview List of Kyros Portfolio Manager

  1. Safety
    1. System
      1. Compiled code. No access to programme without registration. No unauthorized access to programme code.
      1. Databank
        1. Access to the databank is protected by an ID and an encoded password. ID and password are determined by the system manager and differ from users' IDs and passwords. The databank will only be connected after registration has taken place. No user has access to the databank by using the final user tools without databank password. All addresses will be put coded. Therefore, they may only be changed or viewed with Kyros.
        1. Users profile
          1. Functional authorization on level of user group.
          1. Users
            1. Base data (clients, addresses, contacts & follow-up) authorization an unlimited number of criteria. Large number of historical passwords. Registration times. Validity dates of authorizations.The user's language initialises the language of the surface during the registration.
            1. Reliability
              1. Kyros Portfolio Management has been designed from scratch as a multi-user product. Several users may, for example, feed in transactions for the same clients simultaneously without loss of data. In the TerminalServer modus the central temporary tables also take multi-user requirements into account. The Kyros Portfolio Management may be used centrally by several users. Usually, the temporary tables are managed locally.In order to guarantee data integrity, the access to Kyros databanks is transaction orientated. Furthermore, you can make complete use of rollback qualities of databanks such as Oracle .
            2. Transparency
              1. Online support
                1. Every mask is connected to an on-line support (German, English, French). You can therefore get a detailed explanation of the meaning of the fields and their input possiblities at any time.
                1. System messages
                  1. System messages inform you about missing information and incomplete calculations. You are then able to branch off from the error report to the affected objects.
                  1. Processing messages
                    1. The user is always informed about the current processings, e.g. during the process of feeding in interface files, the system continuously shows the number of data sets fed in, the error quota, and the incorrect data blocks, etc.Kyros enables you to trace back how the results of calculated information have been obtained, (e.g. speculation tax, MWR, TWR, accrued interests). Interim results shown together with use of the corresponding formula guarantee the reliability of the calculations.Whatever evaluations you have started for which customer, Kyros will show you afterwards which parameters you have chosen. This always enables you to find your way again.
                  2. User-friendliness
                    1. Options
                      1. You decide yourself in which way the system will react to your inputs (e.g. with automatic expansion during the input of client codes and value numbers, which graphic types you want to use (Pie Chart, Bar Chart, etc.), which lay-out you prefer (number of decimal points, disposal of contact informationen, etc.).
                      1. Direct access
                        1. In every mask you are able to obtain detailed information without having to leave the respective mask. From the evaluations you can get straight to the bonds and shares, interests, and transactions, from where you can also directly reach the deposit base. Even with the system messages showing up you can directly branch off to the affected objects to carry out the necessary checks / changes.You can, for example create a new emittant during the process of opening a bond, or you can issue a bond while carrying out a transaction.
                        1. Administration
                          1. The administration will be facilitated by the possibility of carrying out, for example, automatic base data checks with corrections, clear-up of data and check of users / registrations The installation is automatic and does not require any servicing. New releases can easily be introduced.
                          1. Search machines
                            1. Clients as well as stocks and shares can be searched in the system according to their number (starting, containing), name (starting, containing), ticker (WP), any criteria / organization / method, portfolio value (clients), duration (WP), expiry date, etc.
                            1. Templates
                              1. In order to essentially facilitate the opening of base data, you are able to determine sample values per client / investment instruments for the biggest part of the fields. When being opened, these fields will automatically take on the given values.
                              1. Multi windows
                                1. You may open as many windows (masks) as you like at the same time. Some windows (such as evaluation masks of various clients), you can even open several times without having to close the previous windows. The system enables you to arrange the windows on top of each other, next to each other or overlapping each other. It is also possible to call up a window from the list of opened windows. Even masks that were opened independently, can make each other topical or refer to each other.
                                1. Scripts
                                  1. You are able to change the scripts of the screen masks and the reports at any time. In new releases, your adjustments will automatically be taken on.
                                2. Integration
                                  1. Languages
                                    1. An unlimited competing number of languages is available at every work station. The surface language depends on the user's language. The report language depends on the language of the customer or the address.
                                    1. Gui
                                      1. SAA Windows Standards have been taken into account. 100% compatibility with Microsoft Office products (Excel, Word, etc.).Management of masks, navigation standards und standard tool buttons (colour of tool buttons, size, graphic symbols, abbreviations on function keys, etc.) have been stadardized for the entire software.
                                      1. Compatibility
                                        1. Latest software technology Windows 2000 / 2003 / XP / TerminalServer compatible. Kyros has been successfully tested on Windows Vista and Office 2007, which emphasizes the quality and compatibility of the software. Kyros is fully Euro capable.
                                        1. Databank
                                          1. Several databank platforms simultaneaously. Optimized call-up for Oracle and SQL Server.
                                          1. Hardware
                                            1. Low hardware requirements: 64MB Ram, Pentium 200.
                                          2. Flexbility
                                            1. Currencies
                                              1. Unlimited number of competing reference currencies. Any change of Portfolio reference currency possible. Bond currency, evaluation currency, Euro compatibility. Rules for rounding up/off for every currency. Margins per limit. System currency can easily be changed. In every mask, "crossrates" can be converted from any currency into any other currency from the stored databank rates, using our easily operatable "Crossrate Calculator" Later on, the converted values may even be taken over for the conversion of a transaction amount. The "Crossrate Calculator" also calculates the "forward" rates between two currencies (on the basis of the Money Market Rates).The "Crossrates" do not necessarily need to be fed in or stored. The rate pro (Kurspro) of a currency may be changed at any time. The rates only have to correspond with the rate pro in case of an input. The exchange rates may either be fed in manually or automatically via rate suppliers (Reuters, Bloomberg, Finvest).EURO: In-currencies are differentiated from out-currencies. The system automatically manages the calculation of "crossrates". No additional input of rate by hand is necessary. Neither the conversion of the portfolio evaluations, nor the bond and currency rates, into Euro require a change of the system currency. You fix the rules for rounding up/off.
                                              1. Criteria
                                                1. Unlimited number of multi-lingual criteria (strategy, customer segment, etc.). Clients and investment instruments may be combined with any number of criteria. These criteria are available on the entire software for sorting, grouping, and filtering.
                                                1. Organizations
                                                  1. Unlimited number of organizations (supporters, emittants, etc.). Clients and investment instruments may be combined with any number of organizations. These organizations are available on the entire software for sorting, grouping, and filtering.
                                                  1. Sortings
                                                    1. You are able to define the order of the criteria, currencies, organizations, and stock markets. Furthermore, you can easily define, for example, after the sorting has been completed, that the CHF will appear before the EUR.
                                                  2. Clients
                                                    1. Types of clients
                                                      1. Kyros differentiates between four types of clients: private customers, opposite parties/institutional customers, depositaries, and companies. All these types may be freely combined with each other.
                                                      1. Groups
                                                        1. In order to comply with the SPPS requirements and to facilitate the standardised mass handling, you are able to define dynamic or static clients' groups. Dynamic means that a list does not need to be made topical after every new input / change of a client. The dynamic groups consist of an unlimited combination (with, or, without) of values of criteria, organizations, methods, portfolio size, etc. To establish a static group, you can either convert a dynamic group or choose the clients individually.
                                                        1. Consolidation
                                                          1. A customer may consist of a group of clients, i.e. the contents (which portfolios) of a consolidation can be kept dynamically. Thus all handling activities and functions which are available for the clients can also be used for consolidated portfolios.It is possible to calculate consolidations without previously opening the data base of a consolidated portfolioThe consolidation corresponds with the amount of the individual portfolios. Thus the realized profits/losses can , for example, be traced back according to the individual values. You are able to consolidate portfolios of different reference currencies with any other currency.
                                                          1. Spps/aimr
                                                            1. Not only are the performance calculations themselves SPPS/AIMR compliant, but also does the historization of the performance of the various composites over several years comply with the regulations. Even if a client moves to another composite by changing his investment strategy, the historical performance of both composites will still be in order.
                                                            1. Performance
                                                              1. The currency (e.g. Euro) as well as the method of calculation (e.g. average price, LIFO, FIFO) of the purchase prices, profits/losses may be changed at any time. The changes are, of course, subject to the necessary authorization (see user's profile).
                                                              1. Contacts
                                                                1. Unlimited number of contact persons per client including information about people and authorities. Every contact person can be protected in such a way that only you or persons authorized by you are able to see them inside the system.
                                                                1. Addresses
                                                                  1. Unlimited number of addresses per client including information about mail addresses, ways of dispatch, currencies, reports, languages, number of copies etc. Every address can be protected in such a way that only you or people authorized by you are able to see them inside the system.
                                                                  1. Deposits
                                                                    1. Unlimited number of deposits per client including information about depositaries, currency, type of deposit, etc.
                                                                    1. Delivery instructions
                                                                      1. Valid for clients' type opposite party/institutions. Unlimited number of delivery instructions including information about how it has to be announced and confirmed, and about the SWIFT announcement.
                                                                      1. Criteria organizations methods
                                                                        1. As already mentioned under "flexibility", every client can be combined with an unlimited number of criteria, organizations and calculation methods.
                                                                      2. Investment instruments
                                                                        1. Types of investment instruments
                                                                          1. The design of investment instruments has been realized following a detailed analysis of all investment instruments existing at present. The illustration of new, not yet existing finance innovations can therefore be shown by using the existing types. Kyros differentiates between the following types of investment instruments: Shares, obligations, special obligations, share funds, obligation funds, various funds, warrants & options, discounted instruments, liquidity (time deposits, fixed deposits, daily deposits, calls), foreign exchange transactions, current accounts, money market (on interest rates), benchmark & indices, presentations of deposits, presentation of credits, futures, FRAs, margin accounts, and merchandise. The masks for the feeding in process (information fields) adjust themselves to any of these specific investment instruments. Only fields necessary for this particular instrument are available during the input, e.g. changeable obligations in connection with special obligations, or underlying in connection with options and warrants. The working procedure has been adjusted to every single one of these instruments, e.g. no interests for liquidity, fund splitting (evaluation of all available criteria) in connection with funds, separation of bonds (contents and importance) of benchmarks and indices (user defined benchmarks may also become part of other benchmarks), repayment plans for obligations, etc. The evaluation of of the various instruments has also been adjusted, foreign exchange transactions and futures will, for example, not only be evaluated by multiplying the units and the exchange rate. The exposure and the commitments will be shown independently from this process.
                                                                          1. Euro
                                                                            1. The calculation method of the currency (e.g. Euro) as well as the accrued interest (Switzerland: Marchzins) can be changed at any time without any influence on the historic data. The change is, of course, subject to the necessary authorization (see user's profile).
                                                                            1. Stock markets
                                                                              1. The stock markets contain all necessary information to be able to calculate the number of valuta days and the days for rates per unit. The methods to be applied for this process are ISMA compliant.
                                                                              1. Exchange rates
                                                                                1. Every protfolio can automatically be assessed by the rates of its depositary. Thus differences between your statements and those issued by the bank can be avoided. The input can be carried out either by hand or automatically via exchange rate supplier (Reuters, Bloomberg, Finvest).
                                                                                1. Groups
                                                                                  1. In order to comply with SPPS requirements and to facilitate standardized mass handling processes you are able to define dynamic or static groups of stocks and shares.
                                                                                  1. Identification numbers
                                                                                    1. You choose which identification numbers you want for which type of investment instrument. In Kyros, you are also able to use û depending on availability û the identification number of Reuters or Bloomberg.On the base of the existing base data and rates, Kyros can automatically calculate the required identification numbers.
                                                                                  2. Transactions
                                                                                    1. Basic transactions
                                                                                      1. Kyros differentiates between the following usual transaction types: buying and selling of stocks and shares, paying out, paying out, exchange of bond, split/reverse split, slip, dividends, buying of currency, scheduled foreign excange (Devisentermin, general expenses, credit notes, existing expenses, credit notes. In addition to the transaction types mentioned above, Kyros also includes the following transaction types: buying/selling of futures, opening of margin accounts, buying/selling Forex SWAPs, buying/selling of Forex SWAP's Forward, separation of entitlements with / without correction of buying value, existing transfer, take-over transaction with profit / loss, corrections of acquisition value, deductions, provisions, treasury notes/bills, deposit/credit, deposit/credit roll-over with or without capitalization of interest rates.These basic transactions can be used with or without consideration of liquidity. A delivery will therefore be a purchase of a bond without liquidity. Every type of basic transaction may be used as a base for an unlimited number of specific user specific transactions. The input templates (information fields) can be freely chosen by the user. Only the information needed by the user will be offered during the feeding in process. You can, for example, choose whether you want or do not want to show total amounts, number of days of accrued interest, or the equivalent of transactions in the customer's reference currency, etc. You are able to define which fields have to or do not have to be initialised and at which value. The initialization can be dynamic (e.g. rate of taxation depending on domicile of bond) as well as static. The script of any type of transaction as well as every single field can be adjusted to your needs.
                                                                                      1. Expenses
                                                                                        1. Define an unlimited number of expense scenarios with interests to be added or fixed per turnover segment respectively grading minimum amounts in a currency chosen by you. The scenarios take into account the criteria values of the opposite parties, also parties and stocks and shares. The scanarios can then be combined with the required types of transaction and fields.
                                                                                        1. Taxes
                                                                                          1. Define an unlimited number of tax scenarios with interest rates and the percentage recoverable. The scenarios take into account the criteria values of the opposite parties, also parties and stocks and shares. The scenarios can be combined with the required types of transaction and fields.
                                                                                          1. Tax at source
                                                                                            1. The tax at source not only takes into account the regulations for Swiss tax at source, but also potentially different foreign regulations. The profits can either be entered in net or gross amounts, with or without indication of tax at source. You are, for example, able to enter 100 CHF gross dividens with 35 CHF direct income tax which will result in a conclusion amount of 65 CHF, or you can enter 65 CHF net dividends with a tax at source of 35 CHF which will result in a gross dividend of 100 CHF.
                                                                                            1. Accountancy
                                                                                              1. The book-keeping of, for example, fixed deposit investments, credits, and futures with margins have been automatized as far as possible by the use of templates. The daily profit/loss calculations of futures or roll-over investments/credits will automatically be suggested and generated by the system.
                                                                                              1. Corporate actions
                                                                                                1. You are, for example, able to generate a dividend or split transaction for all the customers owning bond X in the deposit. The generated transaction may, of course, be checked and changed before entering them in the accountancy.
                                                                                              2. Analysis
                                                                                                1. Evaluations
                                                                                                  1. The evaluations may be carried out for individual customers as well as for clients' groups. The possibilities of sorting, filtering (SPPS) and grouping are unlimited (criteria, organization, calculation methods, currencies, stock markets). You are able to define the evaluation system using the required parameters such as sorting/grouping criteria, calculation method (Euro method or new calculation, accountancy value and/or value of purchase, value or date of transaction), currency (client's or any currency), type of rate (client's or any rate), etc. The template will be stored. The choice of templates therefore enormously facilitates the beginning of an individually designed assessment. In Kyros, the number of grouping levels is unlimited. You will either completely or periodically receive information such as profits/losses on exchange rate, profits/losses on currency, returns, changes in value, and accrued interest, etc. In order to guarantee a fast access to previous information, individual evaluations may be stored historically.
                                                                                                  1. Multi-period
                                                                                                    1. You are able to feed in several data (dates) for an evaluation (e.g. per month between beginning and end of the period). The system automatically calculates the evaluations for all the data you require. Afterwards, the performance can be calculated for every date you have fed in.All values found by the system can be limited periodically, e.g. the complete returns or the actual profits/losses of every bond.
                                                                                                    1. Investement consultancy
                                                                                                      1. In order to optimize the efficiency of the investment consulting, in Kyros Portfolio Management specific lists and summarized screens have been established which will enable you to quickly get to the information you may need during a telephone conversation with your customers.
                                                                                                      1. Cash-flow
                                                                                                        1. The cash-flow analysis takes into account future actions such as repayments.Using one matrix per currency (or any other criteria) e.g. per period of time or per period of time per currency you are in a position to optimally realize the cash-flow structure of every portfolio.
                                                                                                        1. Graphics
                                                                                                          1. In this system any common graphic types are available. The change from one type to another is very simple.
                                                                                                          1. Performance
                                                                                                            1. You can choose the period for the calculation of MWR and TWR, according AIMR and SPPS regulations. Periodic delimitations of detailed results (e.g. actual profits/losses and profits/losses not realized in the market value as well as the value of currency, book-keeping value and purchasing value. Assignment of the complete performance according to bond or investment instrument. The performance can be calculated either for an individual mandant or a group of mandants (SPPS).Accrued interests will be calculated according to perfomance.Tax at source which is recoverable will be correctly assessed in the reference currency and included in the performance calculation (SPPS). Deposit fees will also be correctly included in the performance calculation (according to SPPS).By standard you will receive a summary of value development of the required period when carrying out a performance analysis.
                                                                                                            1. Values

In the standard version all necessary data has already been calculated, rounded and stored. Afterwards, all information about realized and not realized profits/losses on purchasing values and book-keeping values (after deduction) will be available. Obtainable on bond level in bond currency as well as on currency level in reference currency. The profits are entered in the accounts separately from the losses and can therefore also be shown separately.
                                                                                                            2. Reporting
                                                                                                              1. Types of report
                                                                                                                1. Kyros differentiates 3 types of reports: administration reports (e.g. list of clients, stocks and shares, interests, etc.), internal reports (e.g. trade ticket, order journal, dispatch, etc.) and customer reports (value development, statements, performance, attribution, cash-flow, lists of settlement dates, asset matrix, etc.) The number of parameters available depends on the type of report.The paramenters are valid from the beginning or end of the date to the definition of sorting, grouping, and filtering criteria.You are able to choose the name of the reports, the intensity of grey shading, the graphic types to be used, the heading of the page, the footing of the page, or the group heading.
                                                                                                                1. Parcels
                                                                                                                  1. The reports can be tied up in parcels. By defining a reports parcel containing the relevant reports and combining it with the client, you can decide which customer will receive which reports. Any number of parcels may be combined with a client. Each parcel may consist of several or one single report, with a possible table of contents. Parameters can be defined on either the parcel level or the reports level.
                                                                                                                  1. Print-out

Rates for bonds, currencies and evaluations may be fed in automatically by Reuters or Bloomberg in a very transparent way. Even rates which only appear on the so called "Contributors Pages" can be fed in. FREE: If you receive the rates from a supplier we are not familiar with and who offers a standardized export of these rates, we will pay for the development cost to enable you to obtain said rates from them. The rates will be stored historically and taken into account depending on the date of evaluation.
                                                                                                                          1. Swift

You can fix, for example, a formula for the calculation of management fees, reading: x% of final portfolio value. By means of this formula you define e.g. scenario 1 with 1%, scenario 2 with 2%, etc. You then link these fee scenarios with the clients. You can also define the methods for stocks and shares (e.g. to adjust a formula for a loan value to the type of investment instrument). Formulas may be defined with an unlimited number of parameters.

                                                                                                                                            1. The reports can be established in the batch modus as files to be printed or put into archives at a later time.The management/protocolling of the periodic statements reduces the effort with regards to supervision when printing out several thousand reports. You can stop and restart the printing process at any time. During the printing process the system shows you which reports have already been printed and when, which report is currently being printed, and which ones still need to be printed. The reports will be established for the various addresses in the required languages, currencies, templates (see evaluation templates under analysis û evaluations) and the number of copies.
                                                                                                                                          2. Module simulation

                                                                                                                                                  1. Your traders can simply feed in their "Trade Tickets". These "Trade Tickets" can, for example, be chosen from a list, processed, printed and filtered according to their status or validity. The recording of the "Trade Ticket" has been completely integrated in the order module. Single or collective orders are then at the trader's disposal to carry out the respective deal.
                                                                                                                                                  1. Settlement

Based on the recorded "Trade Tickets" the confirmed trades can automatically be collected, realized and assigned to the respective deposits. After this, the handling simply consists of the release of the transaction generated by the system and the notification of the deposits. This confirmation can either be done manually with a report or via SWIFT message. The opposite part's as well as the client's account will automatically be debited with the fees and taxes.The handling of the "trades" has also been completely integrated in the order module. The division of partial trades in, for example, various deposits is based on a previously defined method of division and the number of ordered units.
                                                                                                                                                    1. Trade types

In the standard version, all necessary information is calculated, rounded and stored. Afterwards all realized and non-realized profits/losses of purchase values and booking values (after deductions) are at your disposal, on bond level in bond currency as well as on currency level in reference currency. The profits are dealt with separately from the losses and can therefore also be shown separately.
                                                                                                                                                              2. Module order

Extensive search machines allow the filtering of the required stocks or deposits, e.g. all deposits possessing 2% SAP in portfolio and owning 10'000 as total account value.With a click on one of the stocks you can record the orders. The differences between the orders and the sample portfolio or the existing liquidity can be easily called up.
                                                                                                                                                                  1. Collective order

You are able to carry out orders for portfolio groups and use the amounts of the orders as a basis for counter orders, e.g. by selling up to 2% (of the portfolio) or up to 10 units remaining stock to UBS and purchasing the equivalent of ABB.The order criteria may be used in many different ways: e.g. sale of UBS until the remaining stock is down to 2% of the portfolio or the stock of shares, purchase of UBS up to 5% of the portfolio or the stock of shares, with a minimum balance of CHF 5,000 on the current account, purchase of up to 100 units with a minimum balance of CHF 5,000 on the current account, etc. The choice of portfolios is also very wide. Any combination of criteria, organizations, and methods are at your disposal.The order module takes into account the "round lot", the smallest possible unit for trading, and the methods for rounding the currencies.
                                                                                                                                                                    1. Trades

The recording of orders allows the input of any standardized financial business (purchase, sale, covered call) fulfilling all standard conditions (limit, stop loss, on stop, best, fill, or kill). An on-line checking process controls the status of the handling of your orders. The management of the orders and their handling (complete or partial) will automatically be taken over by the system.
                                                                                                                                                                      1. Transaction
                                                                                                                                                                        1. By means of the incoming transactions, the system is able to automatically complete orders which have been carried out completely or only partially.The simulation of a transaction is generated with an order without calling up a transaction mask. With a click in the evaluation mask, the orders can be generated. Thus you are in a position to optimally reduce the manual effort during the simulation process. You are able to analyse the effects of your simulation on the respective portfolio or carry out a deviation check with the sample portfolio.
