In Fusion, the Portfolio Management module plays an exceptionally crucial role for traders like Wang Liang, employed at B Iron Ore Trading Company. Let’s delve into the functionality of the Portfolio Management module using the example of Wang Liang querying transactions under the BOOK named “Iron Ore 1901060.”
At B Iron Ore Trading Company, trader Wang Liang handles substantial business in both physical and paper iron ore trading. As the business scales up, he urgently needs an efficient management tool to handle the increasing volume of trade information. The Fusion Portfolio Management module becomes his indispensable assistant.
One day, Wang Liang needs in-depth insights into a batch of iron ore transactions. He opens the Fusion Portfolio Management module, entering the BOOK named “Iron Ore 1901060.”
BOOK: Think of it as a trading manual or a file folder. This trading manual serves as his navigator, providing clear classification and organization of trades and business. He can see the basic information for each classification unit (BOOK), including name, affiliated company, business attributes, traded varieties, etc. Through this manual, he can easily browse through each transaction and manage hedging schemes. Additionally, he can also understand tank rental situations related to the transactions, keeping him informed about the current status of storage.
Next, he navigates to the TRANSACTION section to view detailed information for each individual transaction.
TRANSACTION: This is the smallest unit of classification management. If a BOOK is a manual or folder, then a TRANSACTION is a file, containing detailed records of a transaction. In each transaction record, he found detailed information about every transaction, akin to a comprehensive article. He can review basic transaction details such as time, location, and price; transportation details such as method and starting point; price information like unit price and total price, along with payment and credit terms. This allows him to have a comprehensive understanding of the details of each transaction, ensuring no crucial information is overlooked.
Basic Hedging Operation Scheme: Wang Liang notices the management feature for hedging schemes. Here, he learns about the hedging schemes for iron ore transactions. By reviewing the details of the hedging schemes, including countersignature status and the summary of hedging effectiveness, he decides to make slight adjustments to the strategy to better protect the company’s interests.
Strategic Hedging Operation Scheme: For certain specific transactions, Wang Liang opts for strategic hedging operation schemes. In this feature, he can view details of existing schemes, such as countersignature status, trading strategy, and summary of effectiveness. Based on this information, he fine-tunes the strategies to minimize risks, ensuring the safe operation of the company in complex market environments.
BOOK Transaction Email Alerts: To ensure timely communication of transaction statuses, Wang Liang utilizes email alert functionality. He sets up the recipients and content of alerts, so that any change in transaction status will notify him and relevant personnel promptly, ensuring timely communication of information.
After using the Fusion Portfolio Management module, Wang Liang’s work efficiency has significantly improved. He can effortlessly manage a large volume of trade information, understand the details of each transaction, and optimize risk by refining hedging schemes. The email alert feature also allows him to stay updated on changes in transaction status, maintaining real-time control over business.
