AlphaEngine® is a web-based software that helps
make all portfolio decisions using a rule-based approach.
It allows any investor to evaluate a broad range of investment
strategies for any asset class and use these strategies
to guide ongoing portfolio decisions (e.g., tactical asset
allocation, style, regional and currency allocation, manager
allocations, futures across stocks, bonds, cash, currency
and commodities). The client can customize analyses to their
specific portfolio structure, benchmarks and policy constraints.
The net impact to most funds is often higher returns, better
governance and risk management, and cost savings.
