These enhanced client-service efficiencies are the continuation of our commitment to empowering advisors to take their portfolio management capabilities and practices to the next level.

The days of proprietary vendor systems are over and this is one step that brings advisors closer to having an integrated office, said Tom Ngo, shareholder and chief technology officer of Wetherby Asset Management, one of the technology providers mutual advisor clients. The ability to launch Advisor Rebalancing directly from Salentica Advisor Desk CRM and have seamless integration between the two systems are tremendous features that allow us to be more efficient and productive in our practice.
