Pipeline tracking Pipeline tracking is one of the key features of an accounting system and software for
asset management. This provides summarized information on all the details pertaining to the potential investments that are being monitored. The system and software will organize the pipeline and record the source, execution status, approval status, feasible
investment capital and the targeted purchase price. It provides an efficient analysis of the best deals, timing and price for the utilization of the investment team. Pipeline tracking provides tracking of the source, history and status. It also provides customized classifications and categories. The system can easily execute a
cash flow model and create return assumptions.
Asset management is another important feature of a financial software. It uses the updated status of the investment to provide the necessary tools in creating every possible outcome, such as future payments that are distressed, conversions for debt to equity and maturity of loans. It also provides an efficient tracking of payment dates and rates. Updated
financial statements are readily available, which makes it very easy to determine credit standing and as a result make proper adjustments on the projections. Asset management can modify dates of payment, conversion of floating to fixed rates, deferred payments,
interest rates, maturity extensions and change schedules for repayment. It also uses various assumptions to store and run multiple cases such as downside, base and upside.
Fund management A feature often included is
fund management. Modules here provide an accurate
projection of all the investments, as well as the borrowing and operating cost of the fund, in order to create a view of the
cash levels in the future, with corresponding
investment returns, or losses,
and their probabilities. This system thereby aids in
the evaluation and structuring, including the (ongoing)
portfolio optimization, of any fund. Here, it provides a combination of the
projections of the cash flow on all investments in order to create a monthly summary, along with anticipated
income statements and
balance sheets; it also creates an analysis of the leverage and call of the capital. It also typically allows for customized assumptions on the leverage cost, interest income, taxes and expenses, and creates several scenarios concerning the cash allocation such as reinvestments, distribution of investors and fresh investments.
Data warehousing Another feature of the financial software, is the
data warehousing. This feature syncs the accounting system and retrieves investment transactions. It also uses a customizable category or name. This key feature allows an effortless re-categorization of the investments. The calculation of investment statistics will depend on the
computation of the user at any given moment. Customized reports on the performance of the investment can be created using any of the calculations programmed in the
database of the system. There are approximately more than 100 various calculations programmed in the system. If there is a need for more calculations, then it can easily be provided for the user. Several investments can be categorized into subgroups or groups and they will be used for the creation of totals. It identifies the total price of the fixed income in comparison to the equity investments. ==Uses of financial software==
