Perspective

Effi provides perspective from the time you log in through customizable widgets that allow you to quickly see cash flows, rating actions, or bond events that might need immediate attention.

Customizable

Effi is highly customizable and allows you to configure each page and widget to provide the information that is critical to your business. Saved views allow you to streamline your daily workflows.

Reports

Effi provides a revolutionary new digital, interactive reporting framework. A comprehensive suite of reports can be customized and white-labeled. Whether it is an in-depth portfolio analysis, a book-of-business exposure report, or a shock analysis, information will be presented the way you want. Digital reports can easily be exported to PDF for delivery to clients.

Customizable

Effi reports provide state of the art customizability, giving you control over the information you communicate. Content can be rearranged and hidden to allow critical information to be highlighted. Multiple grouping options support reporting at the account, advisor, or firm level. Layouts allow users to save multiple customized versions of a report for quick retrieval.

Scheduled and Archived Reports Example

Archived

All generated reports are accessible through the Effi Archive providing easy access for future client interactions and supporting compliance and supervisory requirements across the entire firm. When working with a portfolio, the reports provide a contextual history of generated content for that client.

Scheduled

Effi’s report engine is enhanced by Scheduler, a module allowing for reports to be automatically generated and delivered to the field. Scheduler’s report automation saves time and enables a proactive approach to data analysis and communication.

Proposals

Fixed income specialists try to maximize every feasible trade opportunity. To do that, they need to create consistently accurate, detailed proposals—proposals that are on time and on the money.

Effi streamlines proposal creation, making trade ideas actionable system-wide—in minutes, or even seconds. And, with Proposals, bond offerings for a buy or swap opportunity can originate from any trading partner or offering source.

Identify candidates

Proposals starts with an ad hoc or saved search that quickly identifies viable buy, sell or swap candidates. Effi makes virtually any conceivable search possible, across all accounts and holdings.

Create proposals

Whether it is one or many accounts, Effi aggregates account-specific information and detailed trade statistics for each candidate. Unique proposals for each account can then be immediately generated.

Communicate ideas

When the proposal is done, Effi’s powerful Correspondence tool sends out the final product, using your firm’s standard e-mail or messaging system (and a variety of email templates). Correspondence sends the proposal and system-generated reports for each account, along with background information, commentary or analysis material. Effi also provides a continually-updated archive of all messages and proposals sent from the system.

Rules

BondWave has introduced Rules, our latest feature, to our portfolio analytics suite. Rules allow users to set and enforce custom investment criteria for bond portfolios, providing a higher level of control, transparency, and optimization.

With Rules, users can define specific criteria for their bond portfolios, such as duration, credit rating, and sector allocation. These rules are automatically enforced, ensuring the portfolio remains in line with the investment objectives of the client.

Rules provide real-time monitoring and reporting, allowing you to know when exceptions occur for each portfolio.
