This Linedata reporting module is accessible from both of these platforms or via the Internet, and empowers business users to create their own reports, and create detailed process tracking internally.

The new reporting module meets growing demands by investors for the buy-side to provide enhanced customization around reporting in order to increase transparency and disclosure.

"Buy-side investors have seen a realignment of investor expectations in recent months, as wild fluctuations in the market make for a greater focus on transparency and process," said Jack Wiener, Executive Vice President of business development for the North America region. "Fund managers love volatility because it creates a major opportunity for profit, but investors need additional assurances from the buy-side in the form of increased reporting of exposures. The Linedata reporting module makes it easy for the buy-side to provide those assurances, so they can focus on taking advantage of investment opportunities."

Other functionality in the Linedata reporting module includes:

Preconfigured and extensible data libraries

Drag and drop report builder

Customizable dashboard views

Trend analysis

Scheduling

Flexible delivery mechanisms (ftp, email, network directory, etc.)

Report packages; and,

Document browser to retrieve previously generated reports

"The reporting module is a highly flexible, intuitive, and customizable solution that can be delivered via an application service provider model," said Annie Morris, North America Managing Director for Linedata Services. "This module is the strongest reporting solution on the market today. Combined with Linedata Compliance and LongView Trading, it keeps Linedata ahead of the market for innovation, service, and transparency."
