DATA, RISK & PERFORMANCE

Look-through reporting across funds and underlying assets.

Normalise underlying manager and asset data so exposures, concentrations and ownership chains can be analysed consistently.

Overview

Look-through reporting traces an investment through underlying funds/vehicles to provide deeper exposure information. It is particularly relevant to fund-of-funds, multi-manager platforms, allocators, family offices and institutional investors.

The service connects portfolio reporting and risk analytics through a consistent view of direct and underlying exposures.

Operating priorities

Underlying manager data arrives at different frequencies, formats and levels of detail, making manual aggregation slow and inconsistent.

Common operating challenges

  • Underlying reports use different taxonomies.
  • Reporting periods/valuation dates differ.
  • Duplicate exposures through multiple funds.
  • Missing underlying holdings.
  • No quality flag for stale/estimated data.

Our capabilities

01

Hierarchy mapping

Map fund → underlying fund → asset/company where data permits.

02

Normalisation

Align taxonomy, currency, period and identifiers.

03

Exposure aggregation

Aggregate sector, geography, asset, issuer and manager exposures from the approved hierarchy.

04

Concentration

Identify concentration and overlapping exposures across underlying portfolios and managers.

05

Data-quality flags

Flag stale, missing and estimated inputs and their impact on reported exposures.

06

Reporting

Deliver agreed levels of look-through.

Frequently asked questions

How deep can look-through go?

Only as deep as reliable underlying data permits. We make the available depth, source frequency and data-quality limitations visible.

Why is this valuable to family offices?

It can reveal duplicated/concentrated exposures across managers/funds.

Can other datasets be added?

Yes if definitions, permissions and source quality are controlled.
