Investment Management software
Data forms the basis for investment management. The quality of the data ultimately determines whether investment management is successful or not.
With our software PASS Investment Management, we have developed an attractive, web-based solution based on Java that bridges the flexibility and availability gap between standardized enterprise IT (Excel in particular) and the uncontrolled growth of data islands.
Our investement management software enables you to cover the demand for highly flexible (spontaneous) data storage, processing and analysis, which enhances the quality of your data and enables you to make smart decisions. Our software is therefore the key building block for successful investment management.
Whatever sector you work in: our investment management can meet your specific requirements. The basis for this is the PASS Investment Management toolkit. This toolkit contains tools for customizing the preparation of data according to your demands in such a way that it supports the relevant business purpose. Thanks to this freedom of design, you can completely change and expand the application data model – even during production operation.
You will receive a sophisticated software solution that also guarantees maximum expandability and adaptability. The solution has been designed to be technologically “sustainable,” and can therefore be very easily adapted to future needs: PASS Investment Management is a purely HTML interface that requires no browser plugins (Flash, ActiveX, or Applets). In terms of its architecture, only a Tomcat or other JEE Web Container that meets Servlet specification 2.4 or higher is required.
Business packages for your sector
The adaptations you make in the investment management software are mapped in “business packages.” As the admin user, you are the application designer, in that you can customize the software solution to meet your specific needs in the configuration area. With full release capability, you can add fields, define tables, and fill in selection elements.
In addition, we have developed special business packages for corporate and banking sector and venture capital/private equity, which has been derived from numerous customer projects.

Features of the investment management software
Investment management is a highly complex task that calls for specific demands when it comes to an appropriate IT system. The key features of our software for investment management are historization, flexibility, and controlling.
Historization
In practice, data does not accumulate continuously, but rather historically and unsystematically. You are therefore forced to update your stocks whenever historical data is transferred. As a result, several old datasets are subsequently updated. Due to compliance requirements, the data on investments must be updated on a daily basis, and can also be corrected retroactively.
The investment management software therefore maps all data in a consistent, historical database which provides a consistent picture at all times. When a central key date is entered, the system can display all content for the relevant period and provide this content for reporting purposes.
The timeline function is available here.
Flexibility
For us, flexibility is not just a buzzword, but the core of the software solution: we want you not to have to adapt to the investment management software, but to be able to adapt it freely to your needs (while maintaining full release capability).
That’s why the our software for investment management uses a virtual data model. This means that fields and templates for the business application can be changed at any time, without the need to adapt the physical structure in the basic database. The further development of the actual business application can therefore take place completely within the PASS user interface. The tools we provide for this are so easy to use that they can also be used by pure business users.
In concrete terms, this means that you can
- add
- customize
- connect
data fields in all conceivable configurations and specify formulas for these. You can manage the data that is displayed in line with the relevant situation, change thedisplay (e.g. colors, shapes, decimal places), check plausibility, etc.
A powerful tool for this is the PASS Mathematics Engine, which you can use to calculate field content within the software interface online. Here, you have access to a kit comprising a variety of tools, which can be freely combined mathematically and logically, with a virtually unlimited scope of options. Each of these building blocks delivers a value that corresponds to a specific type:
Investment controlling
Since all key figures can also be displayed in historical form, the subsidiaries can carry out investment controlling quickly and easily based on the data provided.
The financial statement data for the companies managed can be used for this purpose and – based on our investment management system’s selection and mathematics capabilities – all conceivable KPIs (e.g. equity ratio, return on sales, return on assets) can be prepared and regularly reported on.
In addition, so-called Controlling Packages can be used: These compilations of key performance indicators are created in various categories (planned, target, actual, mid-term, projections, etc.) and for respective reference times and creation times. This enables rolling reporting on the data, as well as a comparison of planned and actual data.
This is complemented by workflow functions, an appointment reminder, a calendar feature, and an e-mail notification in the event of data changes. Our investment controlling software therefore offers all the functions you need to ensure effective controlling for your investments.
