Through VBO, Spectrum creates and customizes reports tailored to the Fund Manager’s needs. With the introduction of Dynamic Reporting, standard reports can be segmented, sorted and summarized in a variety of ways. Dynamic reporting allows users to modify a core group of reports based on many levels of segmentation and columnar detail. Since portfolio, financial and investor data is maintained at granular levels and a wealth of Manager defined fields are available, detailed reporting becomes possible. Reports can be divided by Fund, Manager, Trader, Analyst, Sector, Market Capitalization, and almost any other qualitative indicator provided by Spectrum clients. The ability to define the criteria of reports and segment by desired parameters provides a more interactive and valuable reporting experience for fund managers and their trading and operations groups.

Drilldown Reporting takes the power of Dynamic reporting and extends it allowing managers to navigate through their data to view the details behind the numbers. By clicking fields within a report, another detail report is generated on the fly, “Drilling-Down” to the exact information required. Without drilldown capabilities, one would run a summary report, come up with items to clarify, run reports on those issues, identify more items to clarify, and so on. Now, as you’re looking at a report, you can go right to the detail you need without closing out the original report and consciously running another one. Clicking on a value within any of the active fields opens a new report showing the details behind these items. In addition to providing the Manager with the exact information they require, this capability allows the manager to see the data flow across their reports
all through their web browser.

Other features incorporated into Drilldown reporting are external links and export capability which allow reports to be exported into an Excel or PDF format.

In the sample below, blue headers designate columns that have clickable fields. Clicking on the Income/Expense field for AAPL (Apple Computer) will display the Dividend/Interest Income report further detailing the numbers within the Income/Expense report.
