This work log details selected products, projects, experience and events we have participated in since we started working with investment advisors over twenty years ago.  It is meant to be an informal, but informative accounting of what we do for our clients.  Many of these solutions are still in use today.  However, some have been replaced by solutions that we created later.

Excel Audit File to Audit Population Queries for Composites

PQ Check is an Excel spreadsheet with macros that enable PQ Check to populate Axys, or APX performance data for a given time period, group, and set of asset classes. Significant flows are taken into account as each month end performance figure is calculated. PQ Check also color codes each Excel cell red, or green based on whether market value requirements, and other composite requirements are met. The result is the ability to view and audit several years of performance data at a glance. This is an important tool for those who build, and need to do quality control on their composites.

Lock File Utility

Occasionally, Axys, or the workstation Axys is running on locks up while editing, or creating files. These unexpected exception result in the creation of lock files related to licenses and other data files. This program searches all directories in and below the Axys root directory to find lock files. Once the lock files have been found they can be selected, and deleted.
