Historical Reporting Generate reports within the Investment Analyzer and My Clients on data for previous quarters. This feature allows for increased flexibility in your reporting schedule.    
Basic Client Functions A comprehensive tool that serves as the central repository and management area for all of your clients. My Clients utilizes all of the tools and features listed below.
Historical Data Storage Store and access client data for any data period in which the client existed in the fi360 Toolkit. This allows for report trending data and easy access to past period data and reports.    
IPS Generator The generator creates, in Microsoft Word format, a custom IPS for the following client types: Retirement Plan - Committee Directed, Retirement Plan - Participant Directed, Foundation/ Endowment, Personal Trust and Individual Investor. The IPS content was designed to meet the fiduciary Practices highlighted in the Prudent Practices for Investment Fiduciaries handbook series.
Customizable Due Diligence Criteria Once set for a client, the criterion serves as a rules-based monitoring system. If the investment is non-conformant, it is automatically placed on the Watch List. You can create as many criteria as you would like and each criteria can store up to 15 unique factors and thresholds (ex. 1 Year Performance must place above median for 3 of the last 4 quarters to pass). Additional customization options include optional or required compliance, multi-period analysis and missing data treatment.    
Watch List Management There are many ways to manage your Watch List within the system starting with the monitoring criteria assigned in the IPS. In addition, you can add your own manual watch list decisions on a global or client-specific basis. All investments that do not have a manual decision will use the client's IPS criteria to determine whether it is on or off the watch list. Numerous reporting sections are available to present this data in your Client meetings.  
Investment Commentary Create and store current and historical commentary for display in your client reports.  
Model Portfolios Create, store and analyze one or more model portfolios that are offered to plan participants. In addition to creating the model and adding the underlying investments, you can also store model commentary and compare the models to various benchmarks using the Model Portfolios Report.    
Investment Expenses Customize the fees and expenses for your client to include client (plan) level fees, additional revenue sharing components, and transaction fees specific to the client. The output of this section directly updates the Fee & Expense Report.

Numerous screening criteria are available and the dynamic search engine is particularly useful for screening a large list of investments down to a manageable shortlist in seconds.
Custom Universe Upload a list of ticker symbols (up to 15,000) for searching and screening within the Investment Analyzer. The Custom Universe feature provides significant time-saving features for users who want to reduce the universe of 20,000+ funds down to their approved list, trading platform or 401k platform before conducting their searches.    
Asset Allocation Optimizer Fi360 partnered with New Frontier Advisors (NFA) to offer advisors a powerful new tool for asset allocation analysis. Resampled Efficiency™ is a portfolio optimization technique pioneered and patented by NFA. It addresses the limitations of current modern portfolio tools by statistically treating risk-return estimates consistent with investor uncertainty. This procedure results in more realistic use of investment information and more effective asset allocations. Resampled Efficiency is the only provably effective portfolio optimization procedure in the world today, outperforming current optimizers in rigorous statistical tests.
