  • Keeps paperwork immune to fires, floods or theft

Robust Fee-Based Advisory Platform
If you're an investment adviser representative, this all-inclusive suite of tools allows you to customize client service with four flexible programs, giving you the option to closely manage all aspects of a portfolio yourself, or take advantage of turnkey programs providing active management. You can open accounts online, generate client proposals, create model portfolio libraries, place trades, rebalance accounts, and simplify monitoring with custom alerts and reports.

Brokerage and Advisory Online Account Opening
Open accounts quickly and with less chance of error by flowing client data into the required forms and systems, and get an account number instantly so you can start trading right away.

Your OSJ can review your trades online, so you can avoid the overnight mailing or faxing hassles, and your OSJ can take advantage of SmartWorks' electronic-blotter functionality, including a pre-scan for suitability, the ability to post comments, and the ease of having simultaneous access to client and account information.
