Screen Overview

Like all CU*BASE subsidiary products, the Investments system is designed to maintain detailed investments data that can be summarized and easily balanced against the general ledger, balance sheets, and income statements. More importantly, CU*BASE Investment management features create a shared database of investment information that communicates to all investment staff, managers, and regulators/auditors for better investment management. From the everyday investment servicing activities, to the monthly processing of investment income, to Board reports and the annual investment audit, CU*BASE Investments processing provides the tools required to manage your credit union's current investment position.

The Investment Dashboard is your one stop shop to manage your credit union's varied investments, all in one easy place. Using standard sort and lookup features, you can easily coast through adding, editing, adjusting, viewing, closing, and purging your investments in one immersive dashboard that displays all pertinent information in a single view. When accessing the dashboard for the first time, the default view will give you the investments you’re most concerned about – the open ones.
