ARGUS Portfolio Manager August 2026
Portfolio Manager now automatically selects the best available model for each property based on a hierarchy you define once at portfolio level.
Summary
Portfolio Manager now automatically determines the best available model for each property based on hierarchy rules you define once at portfolio level. Instead of checking property by property when a preferred model is missing, you set your reporting methodology as a priority order, and the system applies it across the whole portfolio - cascading to the next valid model wherever your first choice isn't available. Every selection stays visible and explainable, so consolidated numbers remain trusted and defensible.
Key highlights
What's new
Portfolio-level model hierarchy: Define the priority order of period, model type, and sub-type once, and have it drive model selection consistently across every property in the portfolio.
Automatic cascade logic: When a property has no model at your preferred priority, the system steps down to the next valid model automatically - no manual maintenance required.
Property-level review and override: Inspect the model selected for each property, spot exceptions at a glance, and override an individual property without touching the portfolio-wide hierarchy.
Selection transparency: See how each model was chosen - through your primary hierarchy, an automatic cascade, or a manual selection - and identify any property with no eligible model.
How the cascade works - a worked example
Say you're preparing a quarterly portfolio review and you set this priority order:
Business planning - Validated
Business planning - Under-review
Valuation - Internal
Valuation - External
The result: every property is populated with the best model available to it, following one consistent methodology - and you only need to step in for the genuine exceptions.
What this means for you
Trusted, defensible outputs: Trace any aggregated figure back to the exact model driving it, meeting the auditability expectations of investors and lenders.
Less manual maintenance: Let the system find the next valid model automatically instead of troubleshooting missing or inconsistent models across the portfolio.
Control over exceptions: Handle business-specific cases with a per-property override, without reconfiguring the whole portfolio.
Faster reporting cycles: Prepare quarterly reviews and executive packs with confidence that your consolidated NOI and performance figures rest on the models you intended.
