Standardise your investment portfolio performance and attribution analysis worldwide with our highly flexible and scalable enterprise-wide performance measurement solution, Anova Performance. Its breadth and depth of analysis functions coupled with its ability to easily scale and integrate directly into its reporting capability makes it the natural choice for oversight on investment performance measurement.
Anova Performance is the next step in the evolution of our performance measurement and attribution solution. Our previous well-established and proven incarnation, HiPerformance, has now been enhanced to form part of the Anova suite of middle office analytics applications.
Anova Performance combines rich functionality with extreme scalability. Able to handle multi-currency and multi-asset classes, it offers all industry-standard methodologies and approaches whilst also giving the flexibility required to reflect your investment process. Its system and operational scalability means it can handle high volumes and empowers you to meet the increasing demands placed on your business by clients, regulators and management.
The Anova global operating platform allows any stakeholder in your business to access the analysis at any time without impact or restriction. It provides 24x7 continuous operation, essential for the ability to run an effective and cost efficient global analytics function and to facilitate offshoring. For example, if one region is ‘closed’ to calculate NAV, other regions can continue to perform these calculations
Anova Performance is highly flexible. Decomposition of performance, attribution and risk (ex-post) can be defined based on your investment strategy, providing more meaningful and powerful analysis.

Historically within the middle office, different systems were required in different business areas - for example by asset classes, investment styles and across geographies. As a result, middle office analytic operations are typically fragmented from both analytical application and geographic perspectives. This causes inefficiencies, multiple points of potential failure and increased ownership costs. Anova enables investment management firms to conduct business functions in a very different way, realising new levels of efficiency, accuracy and seamless global operations.

The changing operational and client demands in the wealth management space are now increasingly underserved. The majority of technology vendors have focused on providing solutions for the institutional market place or bespoke solutions which cannot be scaled. Without the capability to support large scale, complex and ever evolving requirements which is typical of today’s wealth management industry, most solutions fall short of truly satisfying the requirements. Anova on the other hand, is specifically designed to service these requirements.
