Part 4: A Fund Manager's View on Working Closer with Investors

 
This week’s blog focuses on two LiquidMobileSM dashboards—Risk Exposure and Equity Exposure— used by the portfolio manager (PM) at a $153 million-dollar long/short fund to monitor positions that exceed 8% of the fund’s overall market value.

Risk Exposure Dashboard

This dashboard keys-in on the top holdings in the portfolio by market value and monitors their potential contribution to loss from extreme market conditions (Asian Crisis & Black Monday) and a VaR break. Rather than switching between several static PDF reports, this dashboard comingles key performance and risk statistics— historical stresses, VaR methodologies, P&L (real-time / daily / month-to-date / year-to-date), market value—into one view to provide early warning signals and trigger hedging strategies to off-set potential losses.

Equity Exposure by Market Cap

This dashboard buckets the portfolio’s exposure to its equity positions by market cap, allowing the PM to answer the following questions from his investors:

1.      Which market cap segment and which securities contribute the most value to the portfolio?
2.      What impact is today's trading activity having on the portfolio's exposure?
3.      Does the portfolio need to be re-balanced to limit exposure to large cap stocks?
4.      Is the portfolio as it stands, in line with the firm’s investment guidelines?
