Captool
portfolio management software is an investment record keeping,
performance measurement and portfolio management reporting
tool designed for professional money managers, for sophisticated
individual investors, and for others entrusted with managing
investment assets.
Professional versions of Captool are designed to assist
the money manager in growing his or her business. Professional
versions of Captool incorporate time-saving features important
to professional money managers, such as broker/dealer data
interfaces, batch reporting, portfolio re-balancing, fee
billing and client contact management. Hedge fund accounting
is included with Captool Professional Investor Level 3 and
Level 4 to accurately track and report on pooled investments.
Captool allows you to maintain complete records of all
portfolio transactions, periodically value your portfolios,
track investment cost bases, compute investment return on
investment (ROI) performance, and generate reports and graphs.
Return On Investment (ROI) measures provide you with feedback
on your investment selection and timing, allowing you to
fine-tune your investment methodology to achieve improved
after-tax returns. Captool ROI is computed using the internal
rate of return method. ROI's can be computed for individual
securities, groups of securities, portfolios or groups of
portfolios, before and after taxes and before and after
commissions and fees. ROI's may be presented on both dollar
and *AIMR compliant time-weighted bases, and on annualized
and non-annualized bases over user specified time periods.
ROI computations also generate alpha, beta, standard deviation
and correlation statistics versus user-specified market
indices.
Captool investment cost bases tracking simplify capital
gains reporting, lower tax accounting costs, and can reduce
your capital gains taxes. Specific, average (single &
double category), FIFO, LIFO tax lots are supported. An
automated tax lot assignment function allows you to select
whether to minimize taxes or maximize gains (for loss offsets)
when securities held in separate lots are liquidated. Tax
rate tables are customizable for each portfolio to allow
for differing tax rates and changes in tax laws. Allowance
has been made for Canadian and other non-U.S. users, including
support for Canadian average cost basis and optional cost
basis indexing.
