Factsheets

Factsheets are data-rich and include a variety of disclaimers - a well-known challenge for the producers of these documents. The Kurtosys solution equips sales and marketing teams to create beautiful, automated, data-driven documents that obey complex compliance rules and can be created instantly with the latest data. Translations can be implemented seamlessly with our integrated workflow solution, thus eliminating many manual steps, and drastically reducing the chance of error.

Client reports

Customized client reporting used to take up a large amount of time and effort. Our automation engine reduces the time taken to produce content, ensuring investors receive their reports timeously – a key moment for client satisfaction. Customization no longer means manual, error-prone content creation.

Data management

Powerful data integration

Data is the cornerstone of all reports, yet access to reliable data often poses the biggest hurdle when creating new content. The Kurtosys Data module allows you to integrate all your data sources into one concordant whole, whilst also enriching it with formatting, disclaimers, translations and more. Customizable at its core, Kurtosys Data serves as a staging post for your reporting book of record across fund, client, and other data types. Integrating your data into Kurtosys is straightforward: upload flat files or plug straight into our REST APIs.

Kurtosys Studio – A powerful library of pre-configured components

Bringing your data to life in a branded, compliant way is one of the biggest challenges of financial report automation. Kurtosys Studio allows you to create a library of your own components that can be deployed across all your reports, leveraging a consistent set of business rules, disclosures, and other styles. When changes are required or new data is available, your entire set of materials can be updated in a flash. Not only that, but Studio components can be embedded into your digital surfaces as well as your documents, allowing for 360-degree consistency.

Simple, clear, beautiful design – with tools you love

We believe you shouldn’t need to learn a new design system to build your reports. Our innovative solution works seamlessly with many of the common applications in use, such as MS Office, Adobe InDesign and WordPress.

Our Studio module is continuously updated and contains all the most common pre-created reporting elements, such as performance graphs, fund manager info, commentaries and many more.

With the Studio for Office and Studio for InDesign plugins the entire range of reporting components can be embedded into templates across all commonly used applications ranging from pdfs to PowerPoint presentation templates. With each reporting cycle you can refresh your report at the touch of a button.

The production center – fast, scalable, powerful

As an investment manager you are required to produce your materials in extremely short timeframes each day, week, month, or quarter. In addition, you need to evidence the creation of your materials and retain them for many years into the future. Our Production Center allows you to leverage your templates to automatically refresh even thousands of documents in minutes, while overlaying your own internal approval steps and evidencing your sign-off or exception processes. Any document you produce in our system is retained for a minimum of ten years.
