Northern Trust has launched an enhanced version of its Fundamentals performance and risk tool to offer a dashboard application for institutional clients to view key performance information.

The Fundamentals Dashboard is available to asset managers and institutional investors and information such as returns, characteristics, risk statistics and market values. Charting and further customization are expected for future releases. The Dashboard is delivered via Northern Trust's online data platform Passport.

Paul d'Ouville, global director of Investment Risk and Analytical Services at Northern Trust, said in the release, "Clients are seeking an online snapshot of key performance indicators to help them oversee complex investment programs efficiently. The Fundamentals Dashboard includes daily and monthly analytical results and builds on the existing foundation of our market-leading performance, risk and attribution data. Allowing clients to define what is important to them and summarizing the information in a thoughtful way, Fundamentals provides mass customization on a flexible infrastructure that is crucial to investment decision makers today."
