IVP Pricing and Valuation Solution
To prove alpha, funds need to calculate the price of every position in the portfolio. Pricing and valuation involve a great deal of time-consuming work, from data collection to rules application to pricing tests, making pricing automation a priority for funds. As a core component of the IVP Master Data Management (MDM) suite, the IVP Pricing and Valuation Solution streamlines calculation and facilitates automated pricing that helps funds ensure optimal pricing across portfolios.
The IVP Pricing and Valuation Solution efficiently retrieves data from vendors and brokers, applies waterfall pricing rules, and ensures prices meet threshold checks. It can handle highly illiquid securities and those from exotic asset classes, ensuring funds always get the most optimal valuation or price. It stores prices, price parameters, curve data, and related market information, helping funds apply valuation policies and consistently deliver prices that executives, investors, and auditors can review with confidence.
