Overlap Matrix to Assess Holdings within the USG Restricted List

Last week, many US universities received communication from a US representative about limiting investments in adversarial entities. In order to easily assess what securities you own that might be impacted, a new security basket has been added to the Caissa Platform: U.S. Government Restricted List.

You can now identify your current exposures to securities on the U.S. Government (USG) Consolidated Screening List, which contains a separate Entity List, Military End User (MEU) List, Unverified List, and Federal Communications Commission Covered List, among others, based on securities in our Security Master list. We have screened over 2,300 entities to create this basket so that you can quickly identify any overlap between your fund or portfolio and restricted USG securities. The best tools to leverage for this analysis are the following pages in the Caissa Platform:

System-Wide Analytics > Overlap Analysis
Fund > Exposures > Flat Table

For an overview of the Overlap Matrix page, please review this walk-through in the Knowledge Center.

Ownership Weights Now Supported for Composite Portfolios, Plus Audit Trail Support for Ownership Weights

We are pleased to announce that ownership weights can now be input for composite portfolios in addition to real portfolios. Ownership weights are critical for tracking a portfolio’s ownership by multiple parent portfolios.

Additionally, audit trail support has been added for ownership weight entries, so you can now see who entered ownership weights and when they were entered or modified.
