Maximise your potential

Report Zone is a sophisticated reporting tool that gives you access to an extensive range of user-friendly Management Information (MI) reports. It’s designed to help you get information about your business and your clients’ holdings at the touch of a button. Within seconds, it can identify the funds your clients are invested in and provide a breakdown of charges.

Investor Zone is designed to provide clarity for your clients. At any time, and from anywhere, they can log in and see where their assets are invested and how they’re performing.

Our Model Portfolio Manager (MPM) tool gives you full administrative control over an unlimited number of model portfolios. It is linked to existing analysis tools so you can research portfolios at the point of construction, assess different models and carry out performance reviews on specific accounts. There is an instant submit option so you can build portfolios then use them straight away. It also has the functionality to synchronise all clients’ trades within a model portfolio.

We partner with a range of back-office providers – View our full list of back office providers here.

We also offer integration via the FINIO data hub. The hub connects investment platforms with software providers – transforming, enriching and reconciling data before passing it on. It means you benefit from better quality data and a reduction in the manual or legacy inputs you may be used to. Find out more now.

The CGT Calculator enables you to provide both realised and unrealised gains reporting for your clients. The calculator takes into account corporate actions and distributions. It allows you to capture previous acquisition costs in respect of re-registrations and in-specie transfers.

The CGT Reporting Tool takes into account notional distributions on accumulation units, where income is reinvested back into units instead of being paid out to your client (as with Income units). Up until 6 April 2017, a withholding tax of 20% was taken from assets which contained at least 60% in fixed interest securities. This means there has always been the risk of double taxation. To avoid double taxation, the notional distribution is treated as allowable expenditure for capital gains tax purposes, and therefore the cost must be adjusted. The tool achieves this by raising the acquisition cost of the asset by the same amount as the notional distribution, removing it from CGT.

You are also able to load the book cost which is fundamental when you are re-registering assets. Normally CGT tools assume the book cost to be the point of re-registration and capture an inaccurate valuation. This undermines the information generated. Our tool avoids this error and maintains the quality of the report.

The Capital Gains Calculator has new scenario planner functionality, which allows you to check scenarios before making any sale requests.

Drill down and conduct a thorough examination of client portfolios to analyse their asset allocation, geographical and sector split, return compared to benchmarks and risk rating. These reports are ideal for client updates and annual review packs.

We made changes to the way we accepted forms to make it easier for you to submit those instructions that were not already part of the online Adviser Zone journey. We created signatureless forms that could be submitted via Adviser Zone secure email, and our continuous enhancements mean you can do more online than ever before.

The platform works in conjunction with several third-party research tools. You can chart selected funds and monitor their performance over a choice of time periods and compare against other funds and benchmarks, such as sector averages and indices.

Chart funds based on their performance and risk rating. Information provided by FE fundinfo. Other assets like, unit trusts/OEICs, life and pension funds, investment trusts and ETFs can also be monitored and compared.

To help you produce client documentation, as part of new business or top-up processes, we have created a proforma client report for you to use. You can tailor any client report accordingly and add extra content with ease.

Our Model Portfolio Evaluator enables you to evaluate a client’s portfolio against model portfolios you have previously constructed. This means you can easily and efficiently manage your clients’ portfolios in accordance with their asset allocation and advice strategy. While also checking the efficiency of your constructed portfolios against the market.

This tool looks at the performance of a client’s portfolio taking into account their actual cash flow and works out the rate of return earned on their money. It is designed to answer the question “How is my money doing? ” and can measure the success of switching strategies.
