New York-headquartered PerTrac, the global financial software solutions provider to the investment industry, has teamed up with Alix Capital to host its UCITS Alternatives Index. The Geneva firm provides the industry with a series of 13 sub-indices tracking UCITS performance on a monthly basis. As of March 2011, the Index comprises 700 constituent funds totalling EUR108billion in AUM. By hosting the indices, PerTrac clients will be able to accurately track fund strategies and, according to Alix Capital’s CEO, Louis Zanolin, use the various indices “for their analysis and reporting needs”. “Being users of PerTrac ourselves, we are particularly proud that our series of indices have been chosen to be included in the PerTrac list of benchmarks,” added Zanolin. Jeff Hendren, PerTrac’s Co-President, said that creating UCITS-only indices in PerTrac Analytics would enable investors to optimize their UCITS allocations by giving them the data needed to benchmark performance. “This not only helps investors make smarter decisions, but allows UCITS funds to highlight their returns against peers,” said Hendren.
