Manual everything
Many private-wealth teams still aggregate positions, approvals and reports by hand. The state of the art is too often Excel plus email.
Broker-neutral · execution-only · human-approved
One modular platform that sees everything a family owns, keeps it on policy, and acts through the accounts already in place — with human approval before money moves. We never hold client funds.
01 · The problem
The people responsible for serious money have the weakest software in finance — and it shows.
Many private-wealth teams still aggregate positions, approvals and reports by hand. The state of the art is too often Excel plus email.
Custody accounts, brokers, property, private funds and debts live in silos. “What are we worth?” takes an analyst and a week — and is stale on arrival.
Platforms end at a dashboard or a PDF — before supervised action. Testing an idea, enforcing a policy, placing an order: all still by hand, somewhere else.
Institutional systems are expensive, implementation-heavy and built for specialist operators. Smaller teams are often left choosing between enterprise software and spreadsheets.
The status quo, concretely: one quarterly client statement across several custodians, brokers and private assets can still mean days of collect–reconcile–retype — and the reporting workflow often stops before policy checks, research and supervised action.
02 · Who it helps
Prose Trade is not a generic robo-adviser. It is an operating layer for wealth owners and professionals who need visibility, policy control and documented decisions before anything reaches an account.
Consolidate public, private and real assets; track ownership, debt, stale valuations and IPS limits; produce reports with an approval trail.
Import statements, reconcile holdings, find drift, draft client-ready narratives and keep every recommendation attached to evidence.
Test ideas, compare portfolios, paper-trade first and approve broker actions only after risk checks pass.
03 · How it works
The same prompt → validate → deploy loop that changed software engineering, pointed at private wealth — with a hard validation gate in the middle.
Ask in plain English — a policy check, a stress-test, a rebalance, a client report. The AI turns it into structured, checkable work. No code.
Ideas are proven before money moves — walk-forward backtests, portfolio comparisons and macro stress-tests with per-asset evidence. Losers surface before your money finds them.
Approved actions execute in your own accounts — paper first, inside hard limits, kill-switch armed. The AI proposes; you approve every trade.
“Check our holdings against the family’s investment policy, stress a −10% equity shock, and propose a rebalance we can approve.”
The gates, concretely: investment-policy compliance · concentration caps · drawdown & position limits · market hours · max order size · human approval — and the platform refuses what it can’t verify. One server-side engine computes every number once; a risk guard checks every order.
04 · The AI team
See everything. Keep it on plan. Act on it safely. Four specialists behind one chat box — inside guardrails you set, with every money-moving action awaiting human approval.
Turns plain English into tested portfolios and strategies — from allocation templates to full systematic rules. No code, no consultants.
Runs cited deep research, stress-tests the household against macro scenarios, and evolves brand-new strategies — proven on data they have never seen.
Enforces your investment policy — concentration, drawdown, VaR, tracking error — with every breach recorded and a kill-switch always armed.
Imports statements (AI extraction, human approval), reconciles accounts, drafts client reports, and routes orders through your own brokers — paper first.
Trust by design: the AI proposes — a human approves every action · your money stays in your own accounts — we never hold client funds · paper-trading by default · hard limits & kill-switch · encrypted vault & full audit trail · self-hosted private-AI option. Execution-only software, not investment advice.
05 · The platform
The functions that make a CIO or adviser take the meeting — live in the product today, shown on a demo household. No mockups.
Public, private and real assets — and the debts against them. Multi-currency, double-count-proof; private-equity positions carry XIRR & MOIC.
IPS limits — concentration, drawdown, VaR, tracking error — checked continuously, server-side. Breaches land in a log, not a drawer.
PDF or CSV in, extracted holdings out — every line human-reviewed before it counts. One person imports, another approves.
A watchdog flags concentration, drift and stale valuations before they become problems — with actions attached.
The platform computes the figures; the AI drafts the narrative; you approve every word. Shared via revocable links, every view logged.
Time-weighted and money-weighted returns done properly, benchmark-relative — with plain-English explainers next to every professional metric.
06 · The research sandbox
Optional, for firms and investors who want an edge: an evolutionary engine designs brand-new strategies from your own market data — and proves them on data they have never seen.
A genetic algorithm breeds and mutates thousands of indicator-and-rule combinations across generations, keeping what performs.
Optimize for return-over-drawdown, net profit, profit factor or total return. Whatever fits the mandate.
Top candidates are re-scored on held-out data — “likely overfit” is a first-class verdict, not fine print buried in a footnote.
Every run is seeded, so a winning strategy can be reproduced bar-for-bar. Research you can audit — and hand to a compliance officer.
