What is Portfolio Management?
Portfolio Management Systems (PMS) are the central nervous system of any asset management firm. They track holdings, measure performance against benchmarks, calculate risk metrics, and trigger rebalancing when portfolios drift from target allocations. Modern PMS solutions must process millions of positions across asset classes, handle corporate actions (dividends, splits, mergers), and provide real-time P&L to fund managers and investors.
