Historically administrators have had fee calculations that do not fit within a core accounting system and needed to supplement their core systems with Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. To solve the automated fee calculation gaps and provide client consistency, internal scalability, and knowledge transfer, MUFG Investor Services has been providing clients with our fee modelling platform. 

It provides a cell, columnar, and cube-based modeling framework making it very flexible and capable for a wide range of financial modeling applications. In addition to providing strong calculation abilities and a wide assortment of functions, it provides dashboards, actions/processes, audit trails, version control, maker/checker capabilities, granular user permissions, add-on tools like Excel or PowerPoint Add-in, and much more, making it a robust modeling solution.

MUFG Investor Services has developed a base template model for carried interest calculations (fund level and deal by deal), performance and management fee calculations that enables consistent inputs from our core systems and provides dashboards for user accessibility.
