Combining streamlined online services with easy-to-use tools and reporting, our platform works with your business – simplifying administration and putting you firmly in control.  Plus, we don't need a signature for our key online transactions (including new business, withdrawals and trading).

Portfolio planning tools

We’ve designed our core online portfolio planning tools to make it easier to advise your clients:

  • Research Centre – browse and compare the funds on offer, see fund charges and objectives and monitor performance.
  • Capital gains tax (CGT) tool – gives you the information you need to manage your clients’ CGT liabilities.
  • Portfolio scan – a product level tool enabling you to see how the investments in your client’s portfolios work together. Plus, it gives you tailored reporting so you can see the asset mix, performance and holdings.
  • Report Zone – benefit from valuable and efficient management reporting that helps you identify opportunities, keep track of business and demonstrate the value of your advice.
