Mutual Fund Accounting System
Foliage developed an international portfolio accounting system for a major, mutual fund management company. This system provides complete portfolio and client characterization as well as detailed transaction tracking of all financial transactions that affect the balance of a portfolio. The system calculates cost using dollar averaging and tracks gain and loss. Reports are available at the firm, client and portfolio level for a wide variety of information such as: assets by category or country, gain and loss, outstanding accruals by lot, corporate actions tracking, etc. The system also supports automated custodian reconciliation via electronic feeds as well as a wide variety of drill-down style interfaces for portfolio research.
This application was developed using SQL Server 7.0 for the fundamental data store. The desktop interface utilized ActiveX technologies to provide modular, self-describing objects for entity and transaction management. The user interface framework was developed in VC++ 6.0 with the individual edit/display screens for financial objects implemented as discrete ActiveX controls using VB 6.0.
