Real Time Positions
The Portfolio System updates all positions in real time. When new trades are entered, they are shared across all users immediately and as market prices change the position and portfolio values are updated in real time.
Cash positions in every currency at each prime broker are also updated with every trade. While many managers may not need to see their portfolios continuously updated in real time, they do find it useful during unusual market movements, when they want to evaluate the effectiveness of a hedge or when they are executing large or complex trades.
Total exposure and leverage for each portfolio are updated when the market moves, as are the portfolio weights and the profit or loss for each position, currency, sector, strategy etc. This enables the manager to see immediately which parts of the portfolio are performing better or worse in a particular situation and identify potential trouble spots as soon as possible. The Portfolio System supports the most popular real-time data sources (e.g. Bloomberg), as well as several less expensive feeds.
