CarveOut Utility
“The Carve Out Utility allows for the complete rerouting or the shadowing of any transaction based on portfolio code/class/type/symbol combinations to other portfolio codes. The Utility also includes 4 custom reports that help assist in the re-balancing of cash and maintenance of the carved out portfolios.” Dale Honabach, CSSI Senior Consultant
CSSI’s CarveOut Utility can be used by GIPS compliant companies that are affected by the 2010 rule changes for cash allocation. Currently companies have been able to maintain one account for multiple composites and then split out the assets and allocate cash accordingly. Under the new rules, the assets need to be maintained in separate accounts and have their own cash allocation. The CarveOut Utility gives you the ability to do this without setting up additional accounts at the custodian level.
QuickBooks Utility
“The CSSI QuickBooks Utility allows users to efficiently import invoices and payments into the system. Management fees and payments can be read from your portfolio management system such as APX® or Axys®. Fees can also be read from other systems such as revenue center.”
Trevor Keast, CSSI Senior Consultant
QuickBooks® 2.1 management fee utility allows an Axys® user to post fees and/or payments directly to QuickBooks®. During the posting process the utility creates any new customers, creates invoices and receives payments. A fee reconciliation process displays exceptions between the two systems. Accounts can be linked to existing customers in QuickBooks® or automatically created as new customers in QuickBooks®. Existing Axys® data can be used to populate any field in QuickBooks®, including custom fields.

CSSI has a number of pre-coded formats for the larger custodians; however custom formats can be produced upon request. Custodial trade confirmations can be fully automated using the Trade Extract Utility including delivery by FTP, SFTP, or email (etc.).”
Trevor Keast, CSSI Senior Consultant
