It has made my job much easier because return data is automatically pulled from our prime broker and I can run reports that give me key insights into our fund performance. Pros I enjoy how easy the software is to use. I can easily pull up fund level return data and find key data points, such as correlations and volatility. Also, I can compare easily against key benchmarks and peer groups. Cons Sometimes, when using the software it can get a bit laggy when typing in fund information, causing a delay.

CA Chris A. Managing Director Investment Management ### "Hedge Fund Analytics Software" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 April 9, 2019 While we only use a small portion of the tools AltSoft has (Database, Portfolio Management, Peer Groups), each have been helpful to our reporting processes and portfolio modeling. Pros Breadth, ease of use (for those familiar with investment stats), customer service/technical help, and customization. Cons Export times take a little bit long on some reports, but it's seconds, not minutes, and it can run in the background while I do something else. Also, would like them to introduce an "undo" feature during performance entry.

Pros Easy to use and easy to customise Good functions for analysing hedge funds as well as automize reports Good Excel add-in Cons In our version 5.0.3.41311: Portfolio Management Tool could have more analytics like contributions of assets and strategies In Database, there should be a good possibility to save user entered fund specific data like in the old "Holdings" tab. In the Asset Analysis Form it should be easier to compare two Funds agains each user with regards to performance, risk, etc. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Analyst Financial Services ### "Alt Soft Review" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 2, 2019 It has helped tremendously with automating or semi-automating a number of reports. The excel plug in was a fantastic idea and more importantly, works very well. As a comparison tool for screening funds, it's second to none Pros Very intuitive, thoughtful UI, powerful backend, great datafeed plug ins, constant evolution Cons Too difficult to filter funds you do not want when importing from ODU, leading to reimport of previously deleted assets. I understand the impetus for charging for the cloud option, but with a larger provider it would likely be provided at no additional cost. Morningstar Direct made this available at no extra cost and, given the comparability in cost between the two softwares, it is difficult to justify spending more on a cloud option.
