For an asset management company, regular updating of net asset values (NAVs) and benchmark indices is essential.

This data feeds fund pages, performance charts, comparison tables and investor reports. Yet integrating this data into a website is often manual, time-consuming and error-prone.

The SAND agency has developed a complete solution to automate the retrieval, import and updating of financial data from your investment funds and their benchmarks. Our technology integrates directly into your site, allowing data to be updated continuously and automatically fed into your charts and performance tables.

This automation enables asset management companies to ensure the reliability of their online financial data, reduce manual intervention and guarantee rapid updating of the information consulted by investors.

Several import modes to suit your organization

Each asset management company has its own data production processes. That’s why our solution offers several methods for importing net asset values and benchmarks, to adapt to your existing tools.

Data can be easily integrated by importing a CSV file from the site administration, enabling marketing or reporting teams to update data in just a few clicks.

It is also possible tofully automate the process by sending a file by e-mail. In this case, a robot automatically retrieves the message, extracts the attached file and imports the data into the site’s database.

For organizations with a dedicated infrastructure, we also offer automatic file retrieval from an FTP server. The system detects newly uploaded files and imports them without human intervention.

Finally, when data is available via external services, our solution enables direct import via API or JSON format files, facilitating integration with third-party systems or financial data platforms.

Connection to data custodians and providers

Where possible, we set up direct connections with official data sources to fully automate the retrieval of net asset values.

Data can thus be retrieved directly from fund custodians, notably from players such as CACEIS or SGSS, guaranteeing the use of reliable, up-to-date data.

We can also connect your site to leading financial data providers, such as Morningstar, Quantalys, Fund KIS or Funds360. These integrations automatically feed historical net asset values and benchmark indices associated with the funds.

Management and correction of financial data

Even with automated systems, certain situations require manual intervention: correction of an erroneous value, exceptional addition of data or deletion of an incorrect value.

To meet these needs, we offer a data management module enabling you to add, modify or delete net asset values or benchmark data directly from the administration interface. This module offers precise control over historical data, while maintaining traceability of modifications.

Import the complete history of a fund or benchmark

When launching a new site or integrating a new fund, it is often necessary to import the entire performance history.

Our solution includes a massive historical import module, enabling the rapid integration of several years of net asset values or index data. This feature makes it easy to upload performance charts from fund inception or over longer periods.

Data that automatically feeds your site

Once the data has been imported, it automatically feeds the various website modules:

• fund performance charts

• performance tables by period

• comparison with benchmarks

• backgrounds and product pages

• simulators or analysis tools

Financial information is thus centralized in a single database and continuously updated, guaranteeing perfect consistency between the different pages of the site.

A solution designed for asset management companies

Our approach enables asset managers to automate the management of net asset values and benchmarks, while offering investors clear and reliable access to fund performance.

This automation saves marketing and reporting teams considerable time, while improving the quality and consistency of data published online.
