Equisoft Partners with Refinitiv to Deliver a Powerful Solution for Wealth Managers

Equisoft announced the launch of a web-based fund sales acceleration platform solution powered by Refinitiv. Equisoft/analyze for wholesalers is designed to help fund wholesalers enhance their value proposition to advisors by offering them insightful fund and portfolio analytic services.

With the disruption in the wealth management industry due to technology, fee transparency, increased competition and higher customer expectations, the complexity of the advisory business keeps growing and fund wholesalers are facing radical role redefinition. To stay relevant with the next-generation of advisors and strengthen their existing relationships, wholesalers need to adopt a service-based approach and be enabled with the technology and tools that will position them as indispensable resources.

Equisoft/analyze for wholesalers powered by Refinitiv Lipper data helps wholesalers evolve from just a source of product information to a genuine tech-enabled business consultant engaged in helping advisors grow. The solution features guided investment product positioning and comparisons powered by Refinitiv Lipper data for hypothetical analysis and fund “look through” analysis.  The analytics and benefits are summarized in a comprehensive proposal that wholesalers can share with advisors.
