Product Updates
Addepar Navigator
Addepar’s Navigator, a projection tool that enables investment managers to understand what a portfolio might look like in the future based on expected returns and cash flows, now has over 100 client firms and continues to see increased adoption in continued market volatility.
Recent feature updates include allowing multiple users to open and run projections using different views at the same time, the ability to override security details such as commitment and inception date coming from Addepar, and the ability to save Addepar views to a configuration. Contact your Addepar account manager to discuss Navigator, or contact a member of our team at bd@addepar.com if you’re interested in learning more about the Addepar platform.
Navigator Projections
Sandbox
With the introduction of Sandbox, clients can test workflows, iterate on custom and partner integrations, and try or test changes before implementing them into production in a dedicated, low-risk environment. Addepar’s Lead Product Manager Steven Lamb explains how Sandbox empowers Addepar clients to build more confidently on our blog.
