Merlin Securities, a prime brokerage services and technology provider, has launched Merlin Dossier, a one-click solution that allows hedge fund managers to create detailed reports about their funds with up-to-date net performance information.

“Merlin Dossier creates a standardised overview of a hedge fund, answering all of the questions that a prospective investor might have on a gross and net basis,” says Patrick McCurdy, partner and head of capital development at Merlin. “For many funds, the process of putting such reports together is tedious and extremely time-consuming. Merlin Dossier allows funds to select the type of information they wish to include and instantly creates pre-formatted reports, pulling data from across their prime brokerage accounts into a consolidated client-ready report.”
 
Merlin Dossier creates prepackaged hedge fund reports that encompass a broad range of overview and performance information, including:

• Fund overview (about the firm, the strategy and investment team; fund terms)
• Full transparency down to the sector and market cap level
• Absolute/relative attribution to highlight the manager’s ability to capture alpha, broken out by asset allocation and stock selection
• Sharpe ratio, alpha, beta, batting average and all the standard statistics down to a sector/market cap level
• Beta-adjusted exposure over time by long/short, sector and market cap
• Turnover by sector and market cap
