Are you currently using slides, powered by data in spreadsheets, to build a portfolio proposal for your investment committee or end client? You can use Venn to easily create a report highlighting portfolio-level metrics, as well as analytics relevant to each line item in your portfolio, all in one report, without needing a spreadsheet. For example, the first few pages of your report can show portfolio-level summary metrics. Then, each subsequent page can show analytics specific to each of the line items, allowing you to zoom in and better understand how each investment impacts the full portfolio. Changes can be made on the fly - for example if you want to change the time period for the “Rolling Volatility” chart, simply adjust it in Venn directly, instead of having to update the formula in the spreadsheet.
Are you spending your time on customizing and personalizing proposals? In addition to showing the proper amount of quantitative detail in your proposals, customizing the look and feel of any presentation can help captivate your audience. When building a report on Venn, you can add in your company’s logo, your client’s name, adjust the height and width of each chart or table and add other bespoke notes or disclosures. Similar to a slide deck, you can also create title pages and section header pages to better organize your presentation. Venn will maintain a log of these finished reports to maintain a history for recordkeeping purposes, should you ever need them.
