CAIRE Business Logic supports a broad spectrum of analytical functionalities in the investment process:

• Asset allocation at portfolio and consolidation level with numerous key figures (e.g. market value and accumulated interest, duration, yield and average expiry, economic and legal exposure as per pension fund regulation)
• Performance contribution with smoothing as well as performance attribution using the methods of Brinson-Hood-Beebower and Brinson-Fachler
• Segmentation of investments into whichever categories are required, such as countries, industries, pension fund categories, ratings, term-bands, etc.
• Key risk figures such as annualised return and risk, tracking error, information ratio, Sharpe ratio, covariance, correlation, regression analysis (beta and alpha) as well as the Treynor ratio
• Checking of restrictions in market value or exposure (e.g. as per pension fund regulation)

The product supports varying scenarios in terms of the available underlying data in that pre-calculated values can be integrated into the calculation process. The functionality can quickly be extended by client-specific analyses.

In order to accelerate more extensive calculations, there is a so-called "transparent caching" facility. Making use of intermediate results which have already been calculated, the overall calculation time is massively reduced. Nevertheless, the current validity of the data is always assured.
