Charles River Investment Management Solution (Charles River IMS) provides an alternative to outsourcing with a complete set of middle office capabilities, including investment accounting, cash and position management, collateral management, performance measurement and attribution, and post-trade processing and settlement.
Investment Book of Record (IBOR)
Our Investment Book of Record (IBOR) offering provides the front office with a global, multi-asset view of cash and positions in real time to help drive better decision making and streamline operations.
Designed from the ground up to run securely on the cloud, IBOR’s event-based model allows managers and traders to create multiple aggregation views without multiple books or reconciliations.
The solution manages current and historical positions, with accurate trade date and settlement date positions for a specified point in time, based on transactions and adjustments.
IBOR features Corporate Actions and Reconciliation capabilities. The solution handles automated mandatory and voluntary corporate actions as an overnight process as well as directly from the interface. It helps ensure accurate reconciliation of positions, with flexible, manager-defined matching rules for exception-based workflows.

Accounting
Our offering is designed to simplify middle and back-office operations with true cloud multi-book and multi-asset accounting. Using a consolidated single set of transactional data, it supports multi-book accounting and real-time cash and positions to deliver books of record on any basis, such as GAAP and IFRS, or any other statutory, tax, or currency basis.
Scalable automation workflow and error-detection monitoring ensure data is high-quality and processed quickly, supporting time-sensitive activities such as front office end/start of day, NAV production or shadow NAV reconciliation. It offers data granularity for investments and P&L analysis.
Collateral Management
Charles River enables firms to manage the entire collateral management lifecycle across products on a single platform, from pre-trade analytics and exposure calculations through to margining and settlement.
Fully integrated into Charles River IMS, the solution empowers the front office with decision-making tools embedded in the order management workflow and clear visibility into collateral usage in their portfolios.
Informed by a timely view of available assets, teams can leverage electronic workflows to ensure margin obligations are fulfilled and deadlines are met.
Post-Trade Processing & Settlement
Our post-trade offering helps firms reduce clearing-related risk by automating the post-trade process and providing centralized confirmation, trade matching, and settlement instruction workflows.
Dealers and traders, portfolio managers, compliance, and operations personnel have the same real-time view of all post-trade processing activity and data for each transaction.
Post-trade and settlement capabilities in Charles River IMS include end-to-end confirmation, reconciliation, and settlement workflows. Bidirectional message support and connectivity with SWIFT networks expedite routing of individual trades and allocations to help ensure same-day matching and confirmation.
Enterprise Performance
Enterprise Performance offers clients a fully integrated multi-asset performance calculation engine that enables greater efficiency in performance operations.
The cloud-native solution mitigates data exchange issues, empowering clients with robust and scalable data distribution capabilities. Clients can access multi-dimensional reporting, automated workflows for standard and correction processing, and cross-asset performance, ex-post risk, and attribution-related analytics, with expanded calculation scalability.
Enterprise Performance enables asset managers to handle the complexities in generating performance metrics and analysis across the front, middle, and back office while optimizing performance processes and reporting to both internal and external stakeholders.
