By Chris Morris

In this guide, we'll learn how to navigate the Avatar Dashboard to analyze and compare financial scenarios effectively. By utilizing the slicing and dicing features, we can delve into the details of our assets and liabilities, stress testing various data points. Through this process, we can explore potential changes in reference currency, key family holdings, macroeconomic growth, cross-currency debt swaps, liquidity events, and leverage purchases. These inputs will be reflected on the dashboard, providing a comprehensive view of the scenario outcomes.

Analyzing Scenarios

To create a new scenario and input values for investments, swaps, liquidity events, and leverage purchases, we'll use the plus button and save our scenario. This step allows us to compare different scenarios against our base case, enabling a detailed analysis of the financial implications.

Comparing Scenarios

By utilizing the scenario comparison tab, we can juxtapose our base case with the newly created scenario. This comparison feature facilitates a side-by-side evaluation of metrics, aiding in decision-making and strategic planning.

Let's get started.

We can input the values of this investment by adding a potential cross-currency swap, a potential liquidity event, or a potential leverage purchase.

After creating the scenario setting, click on Avatar Dashboard. Here, you will see a breakdown of all the assets and liabilities you entered in the previous section.

Changes in Key Family Holdings

Are there any changes in key family holdings? Any deviations from macroeconomic growth? Any cross-currency debt swaps? Any potential liquidity events, such as a life insurance policy payout, selling of stock or equities with future payouts, or additional leverage purchases? These inputs will be reflected on the right-hand side, showing the slicing and dicing that occurs. This will show what impact these stressed scenarios have on your entire estate and which UBOs are impacted.
