Quantum Brokerage · PMS · AIF · GIFT City

One engine for brokerage across PMS, AIF and GIFT City.

Quantum Brokerage automates end-to-end distributor and broker brokerage computation on one common computational core — with product-specific rules configured, not rebuilt.

Computation cycle
DATAMasters, capital transactions and NAV ingested
SPLITHistory broken into windows of unchanged variables
CALCTrail, upfront and clawback computed in parallel
MAILBroker-specific statements mailed monthly or quarterly
RECONPayments reconciled; payables tracked month on month

Product coverage

Three product lines, one computational core

PMS
Portfolio Management Services
Trail-only brokerage on discretionary and non-discretionary portfolios, computed at the strategy level without unit-based tracking.
AIF
Alternative Investment Funds
Trail, upfront and upfront + trail brokerage on unitized scheme structures, with full clawback support tracked on a FIFO basis.
IFSC
GIFT City Funds
The same brokerage flexibility as AIF, extended with multi-currency computation and payout for global, NRI and FPI investors routed through GIFT IFSC.

This unifies data management, reporting, mailing and settlement reconciliation across all three product lines, while still respecting their structural differences — most notably that PMS mandates carry no upfront brokerage or clawback.

Key capabilities

From computation to settlement, in one platform

01

Brokerage Computation

Robust parallel computation per distributor or broker, by breaking client transaction history into periods where no computation variable changes.

02

Brokerage Structures Management

Generic structures at broker–scheme/strategy–class level and specific structures at client–scheme/strategy–class level, common across all three products.

03

FIFO Mechanism

Investments and redemptions tracked on unitization and first-in-first-out logic for AIF and GIFT City; PMS portfolios tracked at portfolio/strategy level.

04

Multi-Currency Support

GIFT City funds compute and report in foreign currency alongside INR equivalents, with configurable FX rates and automated handling of rate movement between accrual and settlement.

05

Reporting & Bulk Mailing

Custom reports on upfront, trail and clawback for any selected period, plus monthly or quarterly bulk mails carrying each broker's own brokerage detail.

06

Settlement Reconciliation

Reconciles actual payments against calculated brokerage and tracks month-on-month payables and receivables per broker, FX-adjusted for GIFT City funds.

07

Data Extraction & Integration

Seamless integration with databases, mail servers, SFTP, shared folders and APIs, plus extraction from Excel, CSV and text file uploads.

08

Data Management

Storage, retrieval and management of every dataset computation needs — fund, broker and client masters, capital transactions, commitments, structures and NAV data.

09

User Access & Authentication

Active Directory or SSO integration with role management that restricts access module-wise and, where required, product-wise.

Calculation logic

Common engine, configured per product

Time-Window Split
For each client or investor, transaction history is broken into windows within which brokerage computation variables remain unchanged.
Window Aggregation
Brokerage is calculated for each window and then aggregated across brokers and distributors for reporting and settlement.
Rules as Configuration
Product-specific rules — no upfront or clawback for PMS, FX handling for GIFT City — are applied as configuration within the same flow, not as separate logic paths.
