Load Data

You can leverage Eagle's enterprise level workflow and operations tools to load data into Eagle's data warehouse. You can load general financial information, as well as performance related data and vendor-supplied index returns, weights, and durations from external systems, if available. Depending on how you plan to use the index data, you can load index data at the following levels:

...

When assigning a benchmark to a fund, you can assign a standard industry index, a custom index you define using Eagle Performance, or another portfolio. You can create custom benchmarks, that is, custom indexes used as performance benchmarks, by defining the criteria used to calculate the custom benchmark returns, weights, and other performance data.

Configure the Performance Calculation Report

If certain performance information is not available for the indexes you upload from external sources, you can use the Performance Calculation report to calculate single-period performance data, such as higher level returns and weights. Eagle stores performance related index returns and weights in the PERFORM database. You can also display uploaded single-period index data in Performance Calculation reports to use as benchmark comparisons for portfolios, retail funds, and composites.

...

• Portfolios, see Performance Calculation.
• Retail funds, see Retail Fund Performance User Guide.
• Composites, see GIPS Composite Management User Guide.

Build Custom Benchmarks

You can use the Custom Index Builder to create performance data, that is, returns and weights, for custom benchmarks and store that data in the PERFORM database. You can submit this entity build process on a scheduled or manual basis.

You can use the Commit Journal to review the entity build results for each custom benchmark and access a report that can help you better understand the results and determine the steps you need to take to correct any issues. You can also verify the entity build results using the Performance Query Tool.

Configure the Performance Analysis and Composite Analysis Reports

The Performance Analysis report is used to calculate multi-period returns for portfolios, retail funds, and composites, as well as for their related benchmarks. You also use this report to perform equity and fixed income attribution analyses. The Composite Analysis report allows you to analyze GIPS composite dispersion and membership and calculates composite, constituent, and comparison benchmark returns over time.

• Retail funds, see Retail Fund Performance User Guide.
• Composites, see the GIPS Composite Management User Guide.

Publish Performance Reports

You can use Eagle's analysis and reporting tools to communicate benchmark information to internal and external audiences. Eagle Performance includes standard reports that include benchmark comparisons and analyses as part of the Performance Toolkit, and lets you create customized reports for on-line drilldown analysis. You can create OLAP drill down reports, presentation-quality Advanced Reports, and/or Portal views that use information stored in Eagle's data warehouse or optionally, in Data Mart. You can also use the Performance Query Tool to analyze benchmark data.
