• New Feature: Updated CVIM Profiles

    Chart We are working at Covestor on continuously improving the profiles of the Model Managers available for auto trading in a CVIM managed account. Today we put live a number of these elements which should make it easier for clients and prospective clients to find appropriate models, and understand what they are subscribing to.

    The updates include:

    • Performance Charts: We are now charting the performance of the members who are managing models. You can select the period or zoom in by selecting the area on any chart to look at the detail
    • Cleaner summaries: THe investment strategies are tabbed to give a clearer sense of what the model is all about
    • Holdings and Trades : Logged in clients can view all of the back up data on the models available for subscription. This includes the history of trades, current holdings and all investment reports. Some of the managers have chosen not to share all of the trades and their current holdings and so on a few of the models this data will be hidden

    We are shortly going to be adding some metrics for average monthly client performance (where available), i.e. the average performance the clients are achieving rather than the actual returns achieved by the manager of the model as currently displayed.

    We will keep building out the profiles and providing more and more information on the models available. If there is anything you would like to see included do get in touch. Our client relations team are also available any time if you want to understand how to get set up as a client. Happy New Year all!

    Only here. The first way to really compare money managers.

    Covestor allows you to compare and select the best money managers, financial advisors, and investors - and to follow their money with yours.

      Like many other people, I have my reservations about the way trades are replicated on clients' accounts vs. the manager's.
      If you add in the average clients' returns along in the manager's profile so we can view them, that would be great. Then people like myself can look at real-world data and decide which manager to go for.
      It would also be interesting to see whether the new algorithm you installed in place for splitting orders works better for the clients.

      Thanks you for your comment Ahmad
      We have been working hard on the ave. subscriber return figures and will be adding them to the profiles shortly. We appreciate that this will help give you a a more complete understanding of the returns being achieved by Covestor clients.
      The cause of the most significant drift is actually not the Covestor Replication Process, or timing, but trades that are filtered out from replication in having failed our trading/access rules. We set minimum liquidity constraints on model manager trades that we will replicate, to protect clients, and so not all trades placed by the manager are replicated.
      We will be continuing to work to provide you with a complete view of what goes on behind the scenes. Thanks again for the feedback and please keep it coming.
