If your investment accounting still runs on ACE (also known as AIR) — the aging VB6 desktop tool that keeps its data in CSV files — you already know the strain: an unsupported codebase, brittle exports, manual workarounds, and an examiner-facing process held together by a single legacy install. FI Investment Tracker is a modern, local-first replacement built for the exact workflow ACE was meant to serve, with a concrete, honest path to migrate your portfolio off it.
ACE / AIR is decades-old VB6 software that stores holdings as flat CSV files. It runs on an unsupported platform, depends on one machine, and resists modern controls — while your examiners and auditors expect more every cycle.
FI Investment Tracker does the same job ACE did — effective-interest amortization, premium/discount, MBS/CMO factor paydowns, month-end close, and call-report support — rebuilt as current, maintained, code-signed software.
ACE kept your data on your own machine, and so do we. Your portfolio lives in an encrypted local database on your hardware — it never travels to a vendor cloud. You keep the data-custody model you already trust.
You don't re-key years of holdings. Export ACE's invfixvc.csv, choose the Legacy AIR/ACE import profile, and your amortized cost, accruals, and factor data carry over — explained in plain detail below.
ACE / AIR was a capable tool in its era, and many institutions ran it well for years. But VB6 is end-of-life, the CSV file format makes integrity hard to prove, and a single aging install is a fragile place to keep a securities subledger that feeds your NCUA 5300 / FFIEC RC-B reporting. Replacing it isn't about chasing features — it's about putting that monthly and quarterly process on software that is current, maintained, verifiable, and still local to your institution.
invfixvc.csv holdings file — the same file ACE already produces. No special add-on or vendor involvement required on the ACE side.
The import is built around ACE's actual data, not a lowest-common-denominator CSV. From invfixvc.csv, FI Investment Tracker brings over your amortized cost, accrual, factor, WAC/WAM, CPR/PSA, call dates, and step schedules — the figures that took years to build and that you can't afford to re-derive by hand.
Holdings that don't carry a CUSIP — the non-standard positions ACE tracked by their account number — import on their account number, so they aren't dropped or orphaned during the move. We'd rather tell you plainly what the profile recognizes than promise a magic one-click migration; you review the result before you rely on it.
FI Investment Tracker is local-first: your portfolio sits in an encrypted database on your own machine, never on a vendor server. Moving off ACE doesn't mean handing your securities records to someone else's cloud — it means keeping them in your building, under your controls.
Every release is code-signed by GRANITE HALL SOLUTIONS LLC, the verified publisher your IT team sees on a Windows install, and ships with a published SHA-256 checksum — so you can confirm the exact file you ran is the one we built, unmodified.
Month-end close with GL tie-out, reconciliation, on-device restore points, and call-report support packages for NCUA 5300 / FFIEC RC-B — the audit and exam evidence your team has to produce, built into the workflow rather than reconstructed from CSVs.
Because there's no hosted copy of your data to vet, the local-first model removes the vendor-cloud risk a long security review exists to catch — so your team can evaluate, install, and adopt without a six-month cycle.
We're a new company and won't claim otherwise. We don't yet hold a SOC 2 attestation — SOC 2 mostly attests how a vendor protects data it hosts on your behalf, and in our local-first model there's no hosted copy of your portfolio to protect, because it never leaves your machine. We won't post fake customer counts, logos, or testimonials. What we will do is show you exactly how the ACE migration works and let the product earn the move.
