Gain / Loss Management

pControl Gain / Loss Management calculates the realised and unrelised gains and losses for tax and accounting designed for individual funds, interfunded investment structures or investor accounts.

Gain / Loss Management maintains a single parcel lot record for investment holdings, accounting gain and loss calculations and tax gain and loss calculations, which overcomes the need for organisations to maintain separate ledgers and eliminates the overheads of manual reconciliation between ledgers.

pControl’s transaction framework ensures that purchase cost is automatically updated on applications, and realised gains / losses are automatically updated upon redemption.  Workpapers, journals and Account Views for realised gains and loss reporting are instantly updated when orders are processed regardless of whether these originate from Cash Allocation & Rebalancing, imported transactions or manual entry.
