Strong investment commentary turns a performance report into a clearer, more valuable client communication. In this video, we explain how our Reporting as a Service solution helps investment-management teams create, manage, translate and automatically include relevant commentary in client reports.
The platform supports commentary at company, mandate, strategy, client and fund level – allowing firms to personalise reporting at scale while maintaining consistency, control and efficiency.
Here’s a summary of the video content – scroll down for a full transcript.
Flexible commentary at every level
Reporting as a Service enables commentary to be created at the level most appropriate to the audience:
- Company-level commentary for organisation-wide updates included across report packs.
- Mandate and strategy commentary to provide insight for relevant groups of funds or clients.
- Client and fund-level commentary for more specific, personalised communications.
Teams can use one, two or all of these levels together. Each piece of commentary is written once, then automatically placed into the relevant reports during production – reducing repetitive work while improving relevance for each recipient.
A simpler workflow for investment writers
The system automatically prompts writers when commentary is required. It provides the relevant report data, report sections and a writing template, enabling them to create as much or as little commentary as needed.
Once complete, the commentary is returned to the platform with a single click. The system then shapes it to fit alongside other reporting elements on the page, helping teams avoid manual formatting and layout adjustments.
Multilingual reporting without added complexity
Commentary can be created and included in any language. Translation workflows can be configured for an internal team, an outsourced translation provider or an AI agent—supporting more efficient multilingual client reporting.
Consistent, personalised report production
Opus Nebula automatically applies the required branding and formatting to every commentary item. This ensures commentary is consistent with the wider report pack and supports the production of accurate, personalised, pixel-perfect client reports at scale.

Commentary Management
Strong and relevant investment commentary transforms a report from a data snapshot into a clear, engaging client communication. It explains investment performance, provides context and reinforces your expertise – but coordinating commentary across teams, timelines and regions can be a real challenge.
With Reporting as a Service, commentary can exist at multiple levels, whether at company level and included in all reports to provide an update on your organisation; or at mandate and strategy level, providing insight to those groups of funds and clients; or at a lower level for each individual client or fund.
The use of some or all of these levels provides a powerful mechanism to enrich and personalise your reports without any manual effort. In each case, the commentary is written once and automatically included in the relevant reports during the production process.
The system automatically prompts investment writers for the commentary and provides relevant data and sections from the report, and a template for their writing. Investment writers can write as much or as little as they want, and the system shapes the commentary to sit perfectly alongside any other reporting elements on the page. Completed commentary is returned to the system with a single click of the mouse.
Commentary can be created and included in any language. Automated, workflowed translation is simply configured to an internal team, an outsourced provider or an AI agent.
The system automatically applies branding and formatting to the commentary, ensuring consistency with the rest of the report pack, so an accurate, pixel-perfect and highly personalised report is produced every time with no manual effort.
