Reviews of AlternativeSoft
Hedge Fund Analytics Software
Comments: 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.
Alt Soft Review
Comments: 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.
AS Review
Comments: portfolio monitoring, peer group and watch lists, monthly portfolio reporting to clients
Pros:
ease of use, in-depth analyses available
Cons:
Many analysis, charts, etc. not available/easily exportable in excel.
Good tool
Comments: We use AlternativeSoft for analysing hedge funds and hedge fund portfolios and are quite happy with the flexibility and functionalities.
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.
Extensive Feature Set and Strong Support
Comments: We use AlternativeSoft to manage a complex hedge fund portfolio, as well as a centralized source of performance and market data.
Pros:
Great feature set, very responsive support team, and excellent APIs enable us to build highly customized solutions.
Cons:
We've experienced a bit more instability and issues with new version releases. Hope that the quality control of updates will be improved in the future.
