Welcome to the Portfolio Analytics System Wiki

This Wiki provides business and technical documentation for the Portfolio Analytics System, an event-driven platform designed to power modern wealth management applications.

1. Product Overview

The Portfolio Analytics System is a high-throughput, back-end data processing engine that provides accurate and timely portfolio analytics for wealth management firms and private banks. It is not a user-facing application but rather a powerful, API-driven platform that serves as a central source of truth for portfolio calculations.

The system is built on a modern, cloud-native technology stack using a decoupled microservices architecture to ensure scalability, resilience, and maintainability.

The Business Problem

Financial institutions often rely on legacy systems or manual processes to handle complex portfolio calculations. This leads to several critical business challenges:

• Inaccurate Reporting: Incorrectly calculated cost-basis, realized gains, and performance metrics can lead to client disputes and regulatory issues.
• Operational Inefficiency: Batch-based, overnight processing cycles mean that advisors and clients do not have a real-time view of their portfolios, hindering timely decision-making.
• Scalability Bottlenecks: Monolithic systems struggle to handle growing data volumes from new clients and more frequent transactions, leading to slow performance and high maintenance costs.
• Difficult Integration: Older systems are often difficult to integrate with modern digital banking platforms, client portals, and mobile applications.

Our Solution

The Portfolio Analytics System addresses these challenges by providing a robust, event-driven pipeline that ingests, persists, and calculates portfolio data in near real-time. It replaces the slow, brittle core of legacy systems with a flexible and scalable engine.

By exposing clean, simple APIs for both data ingestion and querying, the platform can be seamlessly integrated into a firm's existing ecosystem, powering everything from client-facing dashboards to internal compliance reports.

Target Clients & Users

The primary clients for this system are:

• Wealth Management Firms & Private Banks: Institutions that need to provide accurate, on-demand portfolio analytics to their high-net-worth clients and advisors.
• Asset Managers: Firms that require sophisticated data processing to track fund performance and manage portfolios at scale.
• Fintech Companies: Startups and established tech firms building innovative wealth-tech solutions that require a powerful analytics backend.

The direct users of the system's APIs are the software development and IT teams within these organizations who are responsible for building and maintaining client and advisor applications.
