Many traditional UMAs fall down when it comes to creating clarity for clients and scalable efficiencies for advisory businesses. And advisors know that striking the right balance between these two goals is easier said than done. In our latest eBook we are introducing a new breed of UMA which offers more flexibility to clients while delivering operational efficiencies, control and oversight to advisors and firms. Where other UMA solutions fall  down, InvestEdge's UMA stands up.

InvestEdge's Holistic and Robust Fiduciary Oversight

There is a general consensus among modern-day financial advisors regarding the need to automate and integrate the workflows in their systems. In most cases, financial institutions use different applications or software stacks for individual functions, and the ability to apply a single risk management standard across the whole client base for various business segments and programs strikes as a challenge.

Detailed, customized reports are a critical tool for attracting and retaining HNW, UHNW and institutional investors. After all, reports are one of the few tangible things clients receive from any investment firm. Yet creating and distributing reports can be a time-consuming task -- especially when a large number of complex accounts are involved.

How to demonstrate advisor value and build trust through better communication. For many advisors, developing reports means running numbers. They spend their time pulling data from disparate databases, adding a little bit from the accounting system here or an update from performance returns there. Then they have to format the document just to make it presentable. When advisors are stuck in this manual mindset, reporting is a major drain on time and the end result is not meaningful.

InvestEdge has specialized in fiduciary compliance for nearly two decades. We have equipped thousands of advisors with the tools needed to demonstrate the smart thinking behind every decision on a client’s behalf.

Reliable performance calculation results, translated into easy-to-understand reports are a requirement for today's wealth managers. The presentation must be provided accurately and in a timely manner, representing the performance of your client's investments.
