Index Toolkit

The Index Toolkit provides a complete solution to load, calculate, and validate positions and performance for indexes, aggregates, sub-portfolios and custom benchmarks. The Toolkit includes pre-configured metadata that provides standard field attributes, verification reports, performance model calculations, audit reports, and presentation reports.

Index data from external vendors can be loaded using standard interfaces. Index metadata is shared with other components of the Performance Toolkit, providing an out-of-the-box solution for the benchmark requirements of performance analysis reports, including performance attribution reports.

In order to load index positions and calculate and store index daily and monthly performance returns you need to load the following types of interfaces:

• Entity interfaces, described in this section.

• Security interfaces, described in this section.

• Codes interfaces, described in this section.

• Position interfaces, described in this section. Setup the Index Toolkit

• Performance interfaces, described in this section.

• Analytics must be loaded to support Fixed Income Attribution; that interface is described in the Attribution Toolkit section of this guide.

• Indexes can be assigned as a benchmark for a portfolio by using the Benchmark Assignment Interface; that interface is described in the Reporting section of this guide.

RIMES Technologies Corporation is a data vendor familiar with Eagle’s generic interfaces and the data Eagle requires for use with the Performance Toolkit 2.0. RIMES can provide your organization with index data along with other types of data used by the Performance Toolkit, such as security analytics and yield curve data.
