Eagle Enrichment allows you to build customized financial data that enables you to better understand and manage portfolio exposure and risk. With Eagle Enrichment you can create an alternate set of positions and transaction cash flows (trades) required for this type of specialized analysis. The rules based architecture allows you to define formulas (applicable to specific security types) to enrich the valuations provided by source accounting feeds.

Enrichment also includes optional capabilities for creating and enriching synthetic cash offset security for analysis of certain derivative instruments. For example, you can derive the notional exposure value for futures according to a user defined formula. The enrichment engine calculates and stores this new value and simultaneously creates synthetic holdings and flows for a cash offset of that future. You can do the same for options according to formulas specifically tied to that security type.

Eagle Enrichment also provides a position roll forward feature. Roll forward allows for a complete set of positions to be cloned to a new date. It also allows for enrichments to be applied during the roll forward process. Some examples of common business cases where roll forward is useful include:

  • Funds that are valued quarterly or less but need monthly reporting.

  • Funds with month end valuations from accounting but need an estimated daily valuation throughout the month using daily prices from different sources.

  • Funds with month end, local valuations only from accounting but need a daily estimated base currency equivalent using exchange rates from different sources

In this section

As of V17, we have verified that Eagle Enrichment supports exposure valuation for futures and options (both positions and cash activity) and certain swap contracts (position records only). We have not verified exposure valuation for all derivative instruments, although support for additional derivative types may be verified in future releases. This means that through configuration, Eagle Enrichment may support other instrument types even though they have not yet been validated. For additional information contact your Eagle Relationship Manager.

Support for synthetic cash maintenance assumes you are either using the Issue Viewer tool to create futures and options securities or are using Reference Data Center (RDC) with linked data strategies. Both modules have functionality to automatically create synthetic cash securities and establish the required underlying relationships. If you are not using Issue Viewer or RDC to do so, you may need to modify your security setup procedure before using Eagle Enrichment for futures, options, and single-leg swaps. For more information on the setup of synthetic cash, refer to Synthetic Cash Securitization.

Enrichment Types

The following table describes the available Eagle enrichments.

Enrichment

Description

Standard

A security specific enrichment of holdings and/or cash activity.

Standard, Residual

An enrichment applied to any security that is not recognized by a security specific (standard) rule. Available for both holdings and cash activity.

Roll Forward

Roll Forward Residual

For positions being rolled forward, residual processing can be applied for any security that is not captured by a security specific roll forward rule.
