"We created Advisor CRM to help independent advisors provide differentiated client experiences, and we continue to implement enhancements that make it easier for advisors to proactively service their clients and deepen engagement with clients," said Stuart DePina, Group President of Envestnet | Tamarac. "The streamlined navigation and other innovative features in the upgraded Advisor CRM are designed to empower advisors to strengthen client relationships, which is essential for improving client outcomes and growing practices over the long term."

New Dashboard in Advisor Rebalancing

Envestnet | Tamarac has also rolled out enhancements to Advisor Rebalancing as part of its latest technology release. The application has a new dashboard that provides a more holistic view of rebalancing needs across all accounts. The dashboard serves as the application's homepage, gathering and conveniently presenting information about daily rebalancing activity. In addition to compiling daily upload errors, the dashboard enables advisors to review saved search results and find out which accounts need to take specific actions, such as raising or investing cash. It calls attention to accounts or groups that need to be reviewed based on:

• Model/Category Deviation
  • Shows average deviation based on either assigned model or category classification.
  • Displays the value being managed across models or category classifications.
  • Shows the number of accounts or groups being managed towards a model, or within a category classification.
• Cash Reserve Management
  • Shows accounts with upcoming and/or expiring cash reserves.
• Trade Reconciliation
  • Shows logged orders and recent trades that have not yet been reconciled, and therefore need to be reviewed.
• Securities
  • Displays top assigned or unassigned securities based on an account's model, enabling advisors to quickly identify unassigned securities that need to be assigned.
  • Shows unrealized gains/losses of an account's top securities.

Advisor Rebalancing's new dashboard also filters account reports to all accounts within an advisor's firm, or to groups of accounts based on existing account sets and/or saved searches.

Enhanced Integration with TD Ameritrade Institutional

In addition, advisors can now make TD Ameritrade Institutional the data source for Holdings, Transactions, and Unrealized Gains/Losses reports in Advisor View, Tamarac's portfolio management and performance reporting application.

As part of Tamarac's ongoing integration with TD Ameritrade Institutional, advisors can also incorporate real-time account and cash balances, addresses, beneficiaries, contacts, and other information from TD Ameritrade Institutional into the Custodian Account Details report in Advisor View. Advisors can also import real-time account alerts and trade warnings from TD Ameritrade Institutional into the Custodian Account Details report, as well as daily start-of-day cost basis data for realized gains from TD Ameritrade Institutional into Advisor View's Realized Gains/Losses report.

"We regularly enhance our integrations with multiple custodians and other third parties, and make additional updates throughout the Advisor Xi suite, to provide advisors with as many capabilities as possible through a single platform," said Mr. DePina. "Our unified wealth management technology offering gives advisors the freedom to devote more time to managing client portfolios and relationships, and meeting their practice goals—and each technology release facilitates greater operational efficiencies for advisors."
