By simply dragging and dropping your filter options into the user interface you can rapidly select and combine business levels – enabling data searches by country, city, asset type, asset owner, and a host of other criteria.

FULLY CONFIGURABLE LEVELS

And because all levels are fully configurable – a feature unique to FinAsset – you can have as many or as few as you want.

FinAsset doesn’t just make it easy to find the data you need. Whatever criteria you use to search by, the system will – in real time – consolidate all the cash flows, KPIs (IRR, Net Asset Value, Occupancy ratios, etc) and forecasting for each of the levels you have selected. All the Kpis can be calculated on the total duration of the life cycle of your assets past, current and future.

No more wading through spreadsheets to find data, or re-keying information into different systems to generate the output you need. At the touch of a button FinAsset provides you with up-to-date information for your chosen business levels across a range of comparative scenarios.

Forecasting the future

made easy

COMPREHENSIVE ‘WHAT IF’ SCENARIOS AT THE TOUCH OF A bUttOn Trying to predict how different factors will impact the future performance of assets has always been a part of the asset manager’s role, and today’s active asset managers are also keenly aware of the need to protect values and enhance them wherever possible.

in times past, forward thinking asset managers were shackled by older it solutions and spreadsheet based systems that made realistic scenario modelling a laborious and onerous task.

With FinAsset you can easily generate multiple and varied scenarios for each of your assets or portfolios in real time. Just by keying different assumptions into the system, or by manually shifting the parameters of FinAsset’s unique graphical user interface, you can generate new outcomes ‘on-the-fly’.

FORECASTING THE FUTURE

Once they have been created, scenario models – be they base case, upside or downside – can easily be compared against each other, or against earlier models, to make selecting the right option for each asset speedy, straightforward and based on informed process. to make sure your scenarios are built using the most up-to-date information available, taliance will send you regular software updates. this will keep your FinAsset software abreast of relevant changes to legislation, rules and, above all, best practices from the asset management community happening in the locations where you do business – and where you may do business in the future.

Empowering asset managers

‘ON-THE-FLY’ DECISION MAKING: A reALity At LAst For too long asset managers have been hindered in their work by the time it takes to collate and analyse asset information using old and outdated technology such as spreadsheets. These ‘spot’ solutions – stand-alone systems disconnected from data sources and from each other – create work for asset managers by forcing them to re-enter data from one system to another. in fact, studies have shown that, prior to the arrival of FinAsset, asset managers could often spend up to 45% of their working day re-keying and verifying data.

FinAsset’s multi-functionality, computing power and integrated database changes the landscape for asset managers, opening their eyes to the world of instant, informed and ‘on-the-fly’ decision making for the first time.

INSTANT DECISION MAKING

My team now uses FinAsset on a daily basis, and it has become integral to the way in which we work Isabelle Clerc, MRICS Head of Asset Management Central Europe, AEW Europe With FinAsset you will be able to instantly call up the details of any asset in your portfolio and, with just a few keystrokes or clicks of a mouse, assess the potential impact of a wide range of factors on that asset’s past, current and future performance.

FinAsset also helps asset managers deal rapidly and effectively with those complex questions that often require instant feedback. do you know the complete impact if a tenant asks if

they can lengthen their lease, or leave a building? is an investor asking for the best time to sell an asset? Using FinAsset, questions like these no longer demand hours of number crunching, or lengthy investigation. instead, you can swiftly input the variables into the FinAsset system and have the results you need to make a decision in seconds.

Finding your

true worth VALUATION BUILT-IN: intrOdUcinG FineXpert Assets must be regularly valued if they are to be managed effectively, but obtaining up-to-date valuations can be complex and costly.

With FinExpert, FinAsset’s integrated valuation engine, you can quickly and easily generate a valuation model for as many of your assets as you like, based on the assumptions you have entered into FinAsset and the data that has been uploaded from connected systems.

FinExpert satisfies the needs of all valuation methods (hard-core, cash-flows, terms and reversion...)

INTRODUCING FINEXPERT

capable of creating a unique asset value for a single point in time, Finexpert lets you compare asset values against each other and against those generated by external valuers.

For the first time you will have the power to question discrepancies in external valuations, and the information you need to enter into informed discussions with valuers about an asset’s worth (and the assumptions they have used to value it) without the need to rely on disconnected systems and data re-entry.

Finexpert works with FinAsset, and it takes the complexity out of valuations by giving you the information you need instantly.

RAPID REPORTING

You can easily share FinAsset files with other FinAsset users, but if you need to share the results of analysis with colleagues, investors and other stakeholders who don’t have access to the system the process is just as straightforward.

By using FinAsset’s unique integrated report builder you can create accurate up-to-the-minute reports in a range of excel and other formats (including XML) with just a few clicks of the mouse. no more laborious ‘copying and pasting’ between spreadsheet documents, and no scrambling around to collate reports at short notice – just well-presented, accurate information that your investors will love.
