Eagle Releases Version 9.0 and Adds Swaps Support

Eagle Investment Systems (booth # 2111) has released Eagle Version 9.0 of its data management, investment accounting, and performance measurement suite, which it says represents a major technical and functional upgrade. Eagle has reworked the technical platform to provide better performance, usability, and more technical options to clients, says John Lehner, president of Eagle.

The latest version of the suite offers new functionality around supporting complex instrument types and it also supports Sun Solaris, Microsoft Windows, and Linux operating systems and Oracle 10g and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 databases.

V9.0 supports current versions of operating systems and databases to ensure higher availability, enhanced performance and a secure foundation to run all applications, says Lehner.

The upgrades were based on input from clients and the requirements of new industry regulations. Data management now offers improved usability across the workflows, says Lehner, it offers a redesigned rules editor for more intuitive interaction. New features include the ability to handle multi-leg swaps for derivatives, a pricing option for direct access to pricing information and the ability to make modifications, which enables access to readily-available audit information.

Investment accounting delivers new functionality to support the processing and settlement of swaps. New features were added to Eagle’s Mutual Fund Accounting solution to support clients that work with third party administrators and investment managers. This latest version provides the ability to conduct more in-depth analysis of data for dissemination to a client’s various audiences.

The performance measurement suite now provides a dynamic performance analysis capability, which was introduced to enable clients to regroup and filter security level performance at any time to support ad hoc analysis. The workflow around the GIPS composite management module now enables an end-to-end solution to help clients maintain the composite through an automated process all the way through to creating necessary disclosures. The performance attribution module was expanded to include additional methodologies that helps meet both client and evolving industry requirements for both equity and fixed income attribution models.
