TOTAL PORTFOLIO TRACKER

What is it?

A service offered by Shaunessy Investment Counsel Inc. to track the performance of diverse capital market investments on a consolidated basis and on a portfolio by portfolio or even holding by holding basis.

What are the benefits?

High net-worth individuals with personal holdings, family estates and trusts often have multiple portfolios and advisors, mutual funds and other investments. Without the right tools, it is difficult to get an accurate snapshot of the performance, risk or volatility, diversification and cash flow of all these investments or engage in effective investment or retirement planning let alone make judicious use of taxable gains and losses.

How does Shaunessy do it?

As investment counselors we have acquired leading-edge portfolio management software (Axys). Using quarterly information about your holdings our system will generate accurate reports and performance reviews. These reports not only calculate investment performance but can also be customized to provide objective benchmarking, an impartial view of volatility and diversification and many other details as required. The focus of our reporting and analysis is quantitative to ensure that you receive the most impartial and practical information possible for your own use or with your investment advisors.

How much does the service cost?

Our fee is 0.001% (10 basis points) of the value of the assets reported on, paid quarterly and available for a minimum period of one year. There is no obligation to purchase any asset management or investment services from Shaunessy.

Many institutional money managers and custodians use Advent products (for additional information visit www.advent.com). Shaunessy Investment Counsel Inc. adopted Axys exclusively in 2001 for all assets under management because it is the best tool for us and our clients.
