ARCANE for Advisors

One workspace for the financial advisor team.

Alpha researches your questions and shows every source it used. Beside it sit the team’s working tools, the portfolio optimizer, attribution, exposure and the Excel jobs, with client requests and quarterly reviews in one place.

The demo runs on fictional data. Opening it takes an invitation.

An advisor’s day runs across a dozen systems. Research in one, the book in another, the client’s question in a third. ARCANE puts the work in one place, and shows where every answer came from.

What it does

From the morning’s researchto the quarter-end file.

Three parts of the day ARCANE for Advisors takes on first. Each one works in the demo today, on fictional data, and each one shows its work.

  1. [1]

    Research you can check

    Ask Alpha about a market, a holding or a client’s worry. It answers in plain English and lists every source with its date. Service Alpha gives partner advisors the same answers, from the group’s approved material.

    The portfolio optimizer

    It splits a portfolio between Core and Plus inside the duration band the portfolio manager sets, and reports the 12-month total rate of return across rate scenarios. The same limits are tested on 19 public bond funds over 158 months.

    Attribution, exposure and Excel jobs

    Quarter-end attribution runs twenty checks on every file before anyone relies on it. Exposure shows bonds by sector and issuer, and says why a field is blank. The Excel jobs run the same way every time.

Core capabilities

Built for the wayadvisor teams work.

  1. 01

    Sources on everything

    Every figure carries its source and its date. Alpha lists the pages it read, and a claim it cannot back is left out.

  2. 02

    Nothing sent on its own

    Emails, invitations and client updates stay drafts until an advisor approves them. The software never places a trade.

  3. 03

    A pilot your firm controls

    In a pilot it runs where your firm approves, behind your sign-in, with a record of every action. The demo uses fictional data only.
