HOW IT WORKS

From statement to second opinion.

PRISM reconstructs what a prospect actually owns beneath their funds, then surfaces the few things that matter.

STEP 01
↑

Load the portfolio

Upload a statement, a spreadsheet or a list of tickers.

Drop in a CSV or Excel file, paste tickers, or upload screenshots of a prospect’s brokerage statement (up to 10 screens or pages). PRISM matches every position and the advisor confirms the holdings before PRISM analyzes them.

Look through every layer

Every fund is unwrapped to the securities it actually holds.

ETFs, Canadian mutual funds and US mutual funds are unwrapped to their underlying securities — including funds that hold other funds, up to three layers deep — so the portfolio’s true economic exposure is rebuilt from the bottom up.

LOOK-THROUGH: ZWB → ZEB → BANK STOCKS
ZWB (the prospect holds)100%
→ RY (held by ZWB)13.5%
→ ZEB (ETF inside ZWB)20.8%
→ → RY (inside ZEB)17.4% of ZEB
RY through ZWB: 13.5% + (20.8% × 17.4%) = 17.1% of ZWB

Surface what matters

A short diagnosis and the few findings that deserve attention.

PRISM Intelligence summarizes the portfolio in a few sentences, and Priority Findings show only the observations that cross PRISM’s thresholds — hidden exposure, fund overlap, product cost, concentration — not every metric PRISM calculates.

Verify the evidence

Every finding links to the detail behind it.

Each finding links straight to its supporting look-through, fund overlap or cost detail, so the advisor can see exactly why PRISM raised it before discussing it with the prospect.

Model a proposed change

Show the prospect how a proposed position would change their portfolio.

Enter a ticker and a dollar amount. What-If shows the prospect how adding a proposed position would change concentration, the top position, sector weights and overlap — computed on the same look-through as the analysis.

WHAT PRISM GIVES THE ADVISOR
Look-Through
ETFs, Canadian and US mutual funds unwrapped to the securities they hold — up to three layers deep.
Priority Findings
Only the observations that cross PRISM’s thresholds, each linked to its evidence.
Fund Overlap
ETFs in the portfolio that hold largely the same underlying securities.
Product Cost in Dollars
Each fund’s MER applied to the money in that fund — the annual cost in dollars, plus 10, 20 and 30-year totals.
Structural Risk Flags
Hidden positions, redundant ETF pairs, single-name concentration and illiquid underlying assets.
