Home Software & Solutions Software Plan
Are you retaining clients with holistic advice, long-term wealth planning and actionable investment policy statements?
 

High net worth clients today want more than a well-managed portfolio.  They want a financially secure future.  Using NorthStar Desktop, wealth management firms increase client retention as well as satisfaction through improved value-added client services. NorthStar software allows wealth managers to generate financial health reviews that contain current net worth and projected future wealth under various life event scenarios, each personalized to the affluent client’s financial situation.  Wealth managers can quickly compare and select suitable investments to include in customized product proposals. In addition, wealth managers can quickly design a tailored investment plan and then automatically generate a corresponding, comprehensive investment policy statement through NorthStar’s built-in analytics.

 
By improving your ability to plan your clients’ future, your wealth management team will:
Save time and reduce errors by generating financial plans based on firm-constructed portfolios that are automatically implemented and monitored.
Increase productivity by reducing administrative tasks through standardized team-based workflows and automated investment policy statement generation.
Reduce compliance risk through rules-based analysis that monitors all client accounts for adherence to asset allocation strategies and client constraints as prescribed in the investment policy statement.
Reduce audit preparation time by versioning and storing entitlement-based investment policy statements and update letters.
Gain competitive advantage by efficiently creating personalized asset allocations that can be implemented automatically and monitored over time.  Unlike most asset allocation tools, NorthStar provides support for models, exception scenarios, cross-portfolio constraints, estate planning and investment constraints - all based on a centralized client profile encompassing the entire client relationship.
Improve client cash flow and future wealth projections by creating goal scenarios and assessing goal achievability through Monte Carlo simulations built into the planning process.
Gain additional assets under management by creating specialized proposals highlighting suitable proprietary products for clients who need them.
Reduce the cost of under-used point applications such as third-party mean variance optimization calculators, wealth management analytics, financial planning, and investment policy document generators.
