How is Caissa used at Pension Funds?

Multi-Asset Class Exposure Aggregation

Whether your plan invests in direct or indirect assets, including private equity, public equity, hedge funds, SMAs, fixed income, or real assets, the Caissa Platform seamlessly aggregates exposure and position-level transparency information. With this harmonized data, you can analyze exposures grouped by any classification, including asset class, region, currency, sector, and any customized dimension.

Manager Due Diligence

Investment teams can monitor existing or prospective managers' exposures, set customized alerts to detect style drift and investment mandate breaches, leverage visualization tools to examine point-in-time breakdowns and time-series trends, and identify drivers of manager over/under performance through attribution analysis. You can additionally perform ex-post and ex-ante risk analysis on individual managers, as well as evaluate peer comparisons.

What-If Analysis

Portfolio Managers can use our industry-leading, proprietary Portfolio Worksheet tool to plan and execute both tactical and strategic plan allocation changes during rebalancing periods. This portfolio construction tool allows pensions to implement smarter allocation decisions by dynamically viewing how portfolio exposures are projected to change based on anticipated transactions, such as new manager allocations, manager terminations, and cash flows.

Reporting

Create PDF reports, such as manager “one-pagers” or report packets for investment committee meetings, export data and images, or use our Excel API plugin to generate Excel-based reports with a wide variety of investment analytics, including exposure analysis, liquidation schedules, attribution, stress testing, and performance.

Who uses Caissa at Pension Funds?

Portfolio Manager

Portfolio Managers can make tactical and strategic asset allocation decisions using information that is as updated and granular as possible. All the critical resources for implementing plan allocation changes are in one, user-friendly platform. Integrated decisions can be reached, taking optimal allocations, exposures, risk, and available liquidity into account, all with the click of a button.

Investment and Performance Analysts

Investment teams use the Caissa Platform as a repository to store investment-related data on existing and prospective managers, as well as direct investments, including performance, attribution, exposures, and liquidity. This data is leveraged by Performance Analysts for internal and external reporting activities at both the manager and plan-level.

Operations Teams

Operations teams leverage the Caissa Platform as their organization’s official performance book of record, or as a resource for reconciliation against custodial bank reporting. All cash movements and valuation updates across your program can be recorded and tracked. The platform has a robust liquidity module, allowing teams to seamlessly identify and assess upcoming liquidity opportunities based on each asset’s actual liquidity terms.

Investment Committees

Investment Committees leverage the output of the Caissa Platform to consider total plan-level asset class weightings, geographical positioning, and strategic or tactical allocations. The platform provides critical monitoring to support the committee’s fiduciary responsibilities, and ensure the plan’s risk and return objectives are met.
