Overview
Portfolio Analysis API Product Overview
The Portfolio Analysis API (PA API) makes it easier than ever to instantly start evaluating your portfolio. Use this API to understand how your decisions affected the performance of your portfolio, decompose risk, classify your funds, and compare your returns to thousands of benchmarks and mutual funds.
Use Cases
FactSet’s PA Engine API is a modern, flexible, REST API that enables users to access the power of FactSet’s world-class Portfolio Analytics suite.
Users can programmatically create Portfolio Analysis reports without reliance on the front-end user interface or leverage existing PA reports to calculate multi asset class performance, attribution using one of our 10+ models, multi asset ex-ante risk leveraging linear or monte carlo based models, and exposures.
Users can analyze portfolios on an absolute basis, compare portfolios to one or more of 5,000 available benchmarks across any time horizon, accurately measure performance, and provide flexibility in attribution to align to the client’s investment process.
If you are not currently an existing PA3 user, the PA API allows you to choose between a variety of ready-to-use and customizable canned report templates, including Risk, Characteristics, ESG, Performance, Attribution, Peer Analysis, and more.
The PA API also allows for customization of any report. Users can override existing options to change the period of the analysis, the groupings used to perform the analysis, or the methodology used to derive the analysis.
If you are not an existing FactSet client, check out the Portfolio API to get started with our APIs. You would need to upload your holdings data to FactSet to leverage FactSet’s PA API analytics. If you are an existing FactSet client, reach out to your FactSet account team for more information.

Dimensions summary
This listing has one pricing dimension, Product Access (Units), which grants subscribers access to the product at no cost. There are no tiers, instance sizes, or usage add-ons to choose from. You get a single access option under a free pricing model. The dimension provides programmatic access to portfolio analysis features through the API, including performance, attribution, and risk requests. Because pricing is free, there is no scaling based on volume or usage within Marketplace itself.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit grants a subscriber programmatic access to the Portfolio Analysis API. Through it, you can request multi-asset class performance, attribution, risk, exposures, and characteristics analytics. You choose your portfolio, benchmark, and return period. The unit covers API access rather than a fixed compute size or data quota.
No. This listing uses a free pricing model with a single access dimension. There are no per-calculation, per-portfolio, or volume-based charges within Marketplace. Running more reports or analyzing complex portfolios does not raise your Marketplace cost, since nothing meters usage under this dimension.
Some features assume existing Portfolio Analytics access. For example, the Components Manager endpoints let users with existing Portfolio Analytics access create custom report shells. Access to those specific capabilities depends on your underlying entitlements rather than the Marketplace dimension itself. Contact the vendor to confirm your entitlements.
