Investment Reporting: Efficiency and Transparency for Your Finances

Why Good Investment Reporting is Crucial

Good investment reporting creates transparency. It helps you better understand your clients, increases the security of all investments made, and provides new sales opportunities at the same time.

With automated processes and cloud services, you can also achieve significant cost advantages. Technological solutions not only facilitate compliance with regulations, but also provide you with real competitive advantages.

Advantages of Modern Investment Reporting

• Clients benefit from a clear, user-friendly presentation and real-time access to their portfolio.

• As an advisor, you can derive the next best actions for your clients, thereby increasing the AuM (Assets under Management).

• The investment office gains an overview of all portfolios.

• Compliance officers can monitor investment restrictions.

• The private banking sector discovers new insights into net new assets and client attrition.

Investment Reporting: Definition and Target Groups

Depending on the target group, investment reporting varies significantly. Here is an overview:

1. Client Reporting – Added Value Through Transparency

Client reporting is appreciated by bank clients as it helps them keep track of their financial situation. It is often the only contact point outside the bank and creates a consistent interaction between you and your clients. Important content in client reporting includes:

• Portfolio values and allocations

• Stock and sector analysis

• Summaries and details of transactions

• Accumulated revenue

• Risk and performance metrics

• Scenario simulations

2. Advisor Reporting – Recommendations for More Success

An efficient advisor reporting helps you focus your attention on the right areas. You can see at a glance:

• Which clients should adjust their portfolios.

• Upselling potentials.

• Where you can prevent client attrition.

3. Management Reporting – Lead Your Team More Efficiently

Management reporting focuses on optimizing internal processes and distributing the risk culture. A detailed management report answers questions such as:

• How can the advisor team work more efficiently?

• Who are the most profitable clients?

• How can risks be identified early?

• Which clients need assistance?

Technical Features of Investment Reporting

Two central forms of reporting are:

1. Event-Driven Reporting

This evaluates data triggered by specific events, such as reaching thresholds or performance deviations.

2. Time-Driven Reporting

In this function, metrics over time changes are presented, e.g., through comparisons with the previous year's values or percentage changes.
