VPD Composites is the perfect tool for complying with Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS). The tool enables you to simply and efficiently analyse performance and risks over any time period, against any benchmark, and produce GIPS compliant reports for your clients. The reporting package will give you the full suite of GIPS reports. But the product also gives you many other performance and risk measures for executive or client reporting purposes.

The product supports the GIPS manager’s work, but it is also a general tool for analysing the firm and its assets under management in terms of portfolios and composites. Using VPD Composites you can handle performance and risk measurement on the portfolio and composite levels. Benchmarks are built with great flexibility based on combinations of indices, interest rates, portfolios, and other benchmarks. The system allows for a variety of calculations to reflect your choice of timing and the treatment of cash flows and market values. The system produces numerous standard and client-defined measures of both risk and performance.
