Use of Products in Webfolio:
Portfolios consist of cash, positions in one or more products
(particularly funds) called the underlyings (underlying assets), and in
forex trades. Fund products themselves can consist of investments in
other products. Portfolio operations acquire or redeem shares in funds
and equities and contract for spot and future forex. These positions are
evaluated and gain/loss is calculated. A portfolio’s profile - liquidity, return, volatility,
and so on - is based on the performance of its
underlying products. Correlation and covariance tables are derived from
the relationship between the products in a portfolio.
Compliance rules for a
portfolio are tested primarily against a portfolio’s underlyings. Rules
derived from portfolio properties, and the percentage allocation or count
of the properties in, for example, currency, sector, style, or region, are
checked against the actual positions of the portfolio. The results of
checking against these rules are shown in constraint reports.
