FinXL

FE Analytics FinXL provides access to the most current fund data within Microsoft Excel and enables instant refresh of entire workbooks.

All data updates automatically while maintaining your formatting and custom calculations. 

When preparing quarterly portfolio reviews for multiple clients, you maintain Excel templates with your firm's branding, custom calculations, and commentary sections. Rather than manually updating fund data, you refresh the entire workbook with one click. This ensures all performance figures, pricing, and holdings information is current while your custom analysis and formatting remains intact.

Call data on thousands of investment instruments instantly from any list of identifier codes including ISIN, SEDOL, and Mex. Reach beyond typical platform limitations to conduct comprehensive analysis across entire fund universes. Perform rapid calculation of ratio statistics over multiple periods and drill down to underlying constituents for detailed comparative analysis. The Excel environment enables sophisticated calculations and custom metrics tailored to your investment process. 

When reviewing your Centralised Investment Proposition or conducting due diligence on fund options for a specific client requirement, you can pull data on all funds within relevant sectors, apply your custom screening criteria using Excel formulas, rank options based on multiple factors, then generate a shortlist for detailed qualitative review. This systematic approach demonstrates robust due diligence for compliance purposes.

Easy integration with your existing Excel templates allows you to populate client reports, suitability documents, and investment committee presentations with whole-of-market fund data. The modern, intuitive interface integrates seamlessly with your own reporting frameworks, enabling you to maintain established formats while benefiting from automated data population. Use familiar Excel charting and formatting functions to present information exactly as your clients expect. 

Your firm has developed comprehensive Suitability Report templates that include specific sections, disclaimers, and calculations aligned with your compliance requirements.
