Captool
portfolio management software is an investment record keeping, performance
measurement and portfolio management reporting tool designed for professional
money managers, for sophisticated individual investors, and for others entrusted
with managing investment assets. Professional versions of Captool are designed
to assist the money manager in growing his or her business. Professional
versions of Captool incorporate time-saving features important to professional
money managers, such as broker/dealer data interfaces, batch reporting,
portfolio re-balancing, fee billing and client contact management. Hedge fund
accounting is included with Captool Professional Investor Level 3 and Level 4 to
accurately track and report on pooled investments. Captool allows you to
maintain complete records of all portfolio transactions, periodically value your
portfolios, track investment cost bases, compute investment return on investment
(ROI) performance, and generate reports and graphs. Return On Investment (ROI)
measures provide you with feedback on your investment selection and timing,
allowing you to fine-tune your investment methodology to achieve improved
after-tax returns. Captool ROI is computed using the internal rate of return
method. ROI's can be computed for individual securities, groups of securities,
portfolios or groups of portfolios, before and after taxes and before and after
commissions and fees. ROI's may be presented on both dollar and *AIMR compliant
time-weighted bases, and on annualized and non-annualized bases over user
specified time periods. ROI computations also generate alpha, beta, standard
deviation and correlation statistics versus user-specified market indices.
Captool investment cost bases tracking simplify capital gains reporting, lower
tax accounting costs, and can reduce your capital gains taxes. Specific, average
(single & double category), FIFO, LIFO tax lots are supported. An automated tax
lot assignment function allows you to select whether to minimize taxes or
maximize gains (for loss offsets) when securities held in separate lots are
liquidated. Tax rate tables are customizable for each portfolio to allow for
differing tax rates and changes in tax laws. Allowance has been made for
Canadian and other non-U.S. users, including support for Canadian average cost
basis and optional cost basis indexing.
