AUTOMATING MANAGER/SPONSOR COMMUNICATIONS – Charles River’s integrated wealth hub lets managers automate and consolidate communications with multiple sponsors on a single platform. Auditable, web-based transmission of model updates, trades/allocations, positions/cash, and intra-day account instructions reduces errors and improves productivity.

By providing anywhere/anytime web and mobile access, Charles River increases advisor productivity and engagement in high-touch client relationships.

IMPROVED ADVISOR PRODUCTIVITY – Advisors benefit from a holistic view of assets, including household and multi-generational views. Extensive workflow automation and integration with 3rd party tools such as CRM systems further improve advisor productivity. In-depth account performance reporting helps advisors explain their investment strategies in the context of client goals.

COMPLIANCE AND RISK – Centralized pre-trade compliance and risk monitoring helps advisors meet Investment Policy Statement guidelines and ensures that advisor-recommended products, investment strategies and asset allocations align with client goals and risk profiles. It also minimizes the risk of regulatory violations due to inappropriate product recommendations or avoidable investment losses incurred during restructuring. What-if analysis lets advisors provide clients with detailed visibility into the impact that model changes can have on portfolio gain/loss, income, and exposure to risk factors.
