Frequently Asked Questions

PLATFORM & CAPABILITIES

What types of investment firms does Lightkeeper serve?

Lightkeeper serves institutional investment managers globally, across strategies, asset classes, and firm sizes. If your business depends on accurate, timely portfolio data and the analytics to support better decisions, Lightkeeper was built for you. The platform currently supports 160+ firms managing over $600B in assets.

What is portfolio analytics software and how is it different from a portfolio management system?

Portfolio analytics software focuses on generating insights, performance, risk, attribution, and decision analysis, across your investment data. Traditional portfolio management systems are typically built around accounting and order management. Lightkeeper delivers analytics and insights by aggregating data from your existing systems and transforming it into interactive intelligence your entire firm can trust and rely on.

How does Lightkeeper fit into our existing technology stack?

Lightkeeper is designed to work with your existing infrastructure, not against it. It connects to your administrator, prime broker, OMS, shadow books, and other data sources, aggregating and normalizing data into a single trusted Investment Book of Records, becoming the central hub for analytics, reporting, and decision-making across your firm.

In some cases, Lightkeeper may replace a standalone risk system or portfolio analytics tool where firms find they no longer need a separate solution once Lightkeeper is in place. But for core operational systems like your administrator or OMS, Lightkeeper integrates with and enhances them rather than replacing them.

The result is a cleaner, more reliable data foundation, with significantly less manual work, stronger data integrity, and the flexibility to analyze across time frames and strategies in ways that fragmented systems simply cannot support.

Can Lightkeeper automate internal and external reporting?

Yes, Lightkeeper offers 60+ standard reports developed in collaboration with clients, covering the analysis firms need most. Reports can be delivered on a scheduled, triggered, or ad-hoc basis. Lightkeeper also generates the monthly reporting and risk packages managers send to clients and prospects, including relevant financial data, appropriate disclosures, and client branding where applicable.

What is Idea Analytics Software (IAS) and how is it different from portfolio analytics?

Portfolio analytics focuses on analyzing current holdings - performance, risk, and attribution. Idea Analytics Software (IAS) extends this by tracking and evaluating all investment ideas, including those never implemented. It helps firms measure analyst skill, conviction, timing, and opportunity cost, creating a data-driven approach to improving the investment process and developing talent.

DATA & INTEGRATION

What is an Investment Book of Records (IBOR)?

An Investment Book of Records (IBOR) transforms accounting data, which is typically produced by an administrator or Portfolio Management System ("PMS"), into portfolio data that reflects the strategies investment professionals rely on to understand and potentially improve performance. This is achieved by aggregating all of your portfolio data as well as other market data into a centralized platform that supports analytics, reporting, analysis, and decision-making. Lightkeeper builds and maintains a validated IBOR by aggregating, normalizing, and reconciling data from across your entire ecosystem.

What data sources does Lightkeeper integrate with?

Lightkeeper integrates with 90+ data providers and connects to administrators, prime brokers, OMS platforms, shadow books, and proprietary data sources. The platform aggregates, normalizes, and validates data from all sources into a single Investment Book of Records.

AI & TECHNOLOGY

What AI capabilities does Lightkeeper include?

Lightkeeper includes two AI capabilities.

Lightkeeper Beacon is an MCP-based integration that connects AI tools such as Claude (Anthropic) or ChatGPT (OpenAI) directly to Lightkeeper's portfolio data and analytics. The AI tool remains the interface; Beacon simply makes Lightkeeper's trusted data and calculations available within it, so users can query and analyze their portfolio without leaving their preferred AI environment.

Lightkeeper Lumina is an AI layer embedded directly within the Lightkeeper platform itself, surfacing insights, recommendations, and contextual answers in real time as you work. Both are grounded in Lightkeeper's validated data foundation, ensuring every output is traceable and accurate rather than generated by a model.

How is Lightkeeper's AI different from general-purpose AI tools?

General-purpose AI tools generate responses probabilistically. Lightkeeper's AI interprets the question, but all calculations are performed by Lightkeeper's own analytics engine using validated portfolio data. Results are deterministic, accurate, fully auditable, and traceable back to validated source data, meeting the standards investment firms require for decisions that matter.

Can AI be trusted for investment decision-making?

AI can be a valuable tool in investment workflows, but only when it operates on reliable data and produces transparent, traceable outputs. Lightkeeper's approach ensures every result is grounded in validated portfolio data and performed by a governed analytics engine, not estimated by a model. That is the difference between AI that informs a decision and AI that could mislead one.

IMPLEMENTATION, SECURITY & GETTING STARTED

How long does implementation take?

Within 48 hours of Lightkeeper receiving your portfolio data, you can see it live in the platform.

From there, our team works to enrich and shape the data for full analytics, a process that varies depending on factors like data providers, historical data volume, and portfolio complexity, but most firms are fully operational with core analytics within weeks, not months. Lightkeeper's onboarding process is designed to be fast and collaborative; our client solutions team works alongside you throughout.

Is client data kept separate and secure?

Yes. All data is stored in a client-specific private cloud environment and is never commingled with any other client's data. Lightkeeper supports single sign-on, configurable permissions, and can be deployed within your own infrastructure to meet strict security and compliance requirements.
