MVest solution overview

Investment Advisors

A simple solution for sophisticated advisors

To attract and retain today’s more sophisticated investment advisors, financial institutions need the unique tools required to support them.

MVest is an innovative solution that addresses the complex requirements of today’s portfolio managers and provides a cost-effective solution that matches specific functionality to those who need to use it. Let’s have a look at how MVest can help.

Set reminders, alerts and assign tasks

To remind the advisor of key events and tasks, such as upcoming client meetings, analyst webcasts and deadlines, automated alerts may be set up in MVest. These alerts can “pop up” when the advisor logs into the system or be sent via e-mail. Comments, reminders and instructions can be entered or the advisor can assign tasks to members of the advisory team.

View detailed account information

Advisors may quickly access client holding details at the click of a button, which allows them to view a categorized list of investments, weightings within the account, current prices and other metrics.

Compare client holdings to their models

Client holdings can be compared quickly to the original allocation to see if market drift has made it necessary to rebalance the account. Accounts can track a single model or a “dynamic” model made up of a series of submodels.

Generate security-level performance reports

MVest provides advisors with the ability to calculate GIPS-compliant performance for their clients. View daily and cumulative performance onscreen or tailor one of the many performance reports to show the desired performance periods on individual accounts, consolidated households or advisor composites.

Instantly rebalance accounts

Once it has been determined that the account or accounts need to be rebalanced, MVest determines the trades required to rebalance the account back to the desired allocation.

Run compliance checks and modify orders prior to trading

View the Trading List to examine the recommended trades and to see if there are any constraints on the account that may be violated by the recommendations. Constraint violations are highlighted on the list and can be removed or redirected. Once the violations are handled, the list is ready for release either directly to the market, to a trading desk or to an execution system.

Block orders automatically

Upon release, the list is automatically transformed into Block Orders. This process allows the list to be released on its own, merged with other lists, or added to existing block orders created by other advisors in the system.

Access fully integrated order management

To review the status of outstanding trades, access MVest’s integrated Order Management module to see what has been filled and/or allocated.

Calculate multi-level management fees

In addition to trading and rebalancing, MVest generates and tracks management fees. Advisors can create custom fee rules for their clients by combining multiple types of fees into a single master fee rule. For example, the advisor could charge a flat fee on every account, additional tiered fees on equities that decrease as the balance increases, and fees on each transaction. These are all combined into a Master Fee rule.

Generate invoices and track payments

MVest can be used to generate and track invoices and check the status of fees and payments.
