Every client holding on one screen
Ask most advisors what a particular client owns today and the honest answer is: give me twenty minutes. The holdings are spread across providers, each behind its own login, each with its own statement format and its own idea of what "current value" means.
That's why review preparation takes an evening, and why the answer to a client's simple question in a meeting is so often "let me check and come back to you".
What it does
Holdings and valuations in one place
Each client's positions and what they're currently worth, on one screen. Not a report you generate — a view you open.
Fund switch records
When a client switches funds, it’s recorded. Six months later, when they ask why they’re in what they’re in, the answer isn’t reconstructed from memory or an email thread.
A book-level view before you open any single client
Total assets under management across the book, the average year-to-date return, how many clients you actually have, and which of them are currently flagged as at risk — with the value sitting in those clients, not just their count. It is the difference between knowing something is wrong somewhere and knowing whose file to open.
Getting a book in without a week of typing
The reason portfolio tools go unused is rarely the tool. It is that populating one means retyping a hundred positions from statements you already have, and the payoff only arrives after that work is done. So there are four ways in, and three of them start from a document you already hold:
- Excel or CSV — a spreadsheet you already keep, or an export from a provider.
- PDF statement — a portfolio or fund holdings statement, read directly rather than retyped.
- A screenshot — a photo or screen capture of a provider’s holdings screen, for the providers that will show you a page but never give you a file.
- Manual entry — for the one-off position that does not belong to any statement.
Detected holdings are shown for you to check before anything is saved. A statement value has to carry the date it was taken from, so a figure can never sit in the book without the reader knowing how old it is.
Where it connects
This is the part that matters more than the tracking itself. A holding sitting in Portfolios isn't stuck there:
- Send it to the Backtester to show the client the worst drawdown that allocation has historically produced.
- Feed it into the Planner so projections use what the client actually holds, not a generic assumption.
- Link policies tracked in the ILP module so insurance-linked holdings are counted in the same picture.
One client record, four tools. You're not re-keying the same person into separate systems and hoping they stay in sync.
What it is not
Not a CRM, not a custodian, and not a trade-execution system. It doesn't place orders or hold assets. It's the view of what a client owns and what that means, which is the thing that's usually missing.
Questions advisors ask
Does it connect automatically to providers?
Holdings are maintained in CORVIX rather than pulled by direct integration with each insurer or platform. In practice that means setup effort up front in exchange for one consistent view afterwards — instead of a different login, format and valuation convention per provider forever.
What happens when a client switches funds?
The switch is recorded. Six months later, when the client asks why they are holding what they are holding, the answer is in the record rather than in your memory or an old email.
Can I move a client's actual holdings into the Backtester?
Yes. That link is the main reason the two sit in one product — you can show a client the historical drawdown of the allocation they really own, not a generic model portfolio.
Does it place trades?
No. It doesn't execute, doesn't custody assets, and doesn't talk to platforms to move money. It is a view and an analysis layer.
How do I get an existing book in?
Clients can be added one at a time or imported, so you aren't blocked behind a week of data entry before the tool does anything useful.
