How to Run Portfolio Reviews on Suit
Running a portfolio review on jhana Suit takes three steps. Upload your documents, let the system extract the key figures and dates, and receive comparative tables with source-linked citations. Each conclusion is one click away from the underlying source page.
01
Upload Documents As-Is
Upload PDFs and spreadsheets — FD statements, PF passbooks, insurance policies, brokerage reports. Suit parses tables, dates, and securities/allocations automatically.
02
Automatic Extraction & Tabulation
The system extracts portfolio values, dates, and allocations. Tabulate builds comparative tables by portfolio and quarter, computes deltas, and surfaces the best quarter automatically.
03
Source-Linked Notes & Ratios
Every figure is anchored to page and paragraph with a traceable link. Debt-equity ratios, growth over time, and top-performing quarters.
Feature: Notes
Inline date recognition and portfolio mapping with page-linked citations — ideal for quick, confident answers during client calls
Feature: Tabulate
Per-portfolio grid showing: quarter, value, delta, growth %, debt-equity ratio, best quarter highlight

ISSUE
Wealth management teams face fragmented artifacts — FD statements, PF passbooks, insurance policies, brokerage reports — making on-call consolidation slow and error-prone. Regulatory exposure arises across multiple dimensions: client reporting, record-keeping, AML/KYC traceability, and cyber security.
