Business Intelligence

Every plan, relationship, score, and fund in your book, in one view.

The most powerful view in PlanTools. Broker-dealers, aggregators, RIAs, compliance, and auditors see an entire book of business: every plan, the recordkeeper and DCIO relationships behind them, the scorecard assessments, and every fund held.

Who it’s for

One view, five kinds of oversight.

  • 01

    Broker-dealers

    Every advisor’s plans under one firm: assets, plans, participants, and how the funds they recommend score.

  • 02

    Aggregators

    Each member firm on its own, or several together. Choose the companies, and every figure on the Dashboard follows.

  • 03

    RIAs

    The whole practice at a glance: where the assets sit, which recordkeepers and fund families carry them, and what needs attention.

  • 04

    Compliance

    The scorecard criteria for each asset class, and every investment on Watch or Removal across the book, without opening a plan.

  • 05

    Auditors

    Every fund held, its score, rating, and action, and the assets behind it, ready to export for testing.

  • Everyone

    The same figures, from the same record.

    The Dashboard reads the plans, scores, and holdings already in PlanTools. Nothing is re-keyed for the view.

The Dashboard

Four tabs, one book.

Overview, Investments, Recordkeepers, and Scorecard. Scroll through each, drawn from one firm’s Dashboard.

  1. The whole book on one page.

    Total assets, plans, and users, with the fund families, categories, active and passive split, and score ranges behind them.

What it shows

What each view answers.

01

The whole book on one page.

  • Top fund families by assets, with everything else as Other

  • Allocation, Equity, Fixed Income, Index, Target Date, Money Market
  • Total return against peers, rank, and tracking error
  • The threshold each metric has to meet

Working the data

Slice the book the way the question needs.

  • Choose the companies

    Pick one firm or several, and every total, chart, and table on the Dashboard follows the selection.

  • Filter any column

    Every table filters by column and pages up to 500 rows at a time, so a long list stays workable.

  • Group by any column

    Drag a column into the grouping bar to group investments by category, peer group, fund family, or rating.

  • Export and report

    Export a table to a spreadsheet, or generate reports from the Dashboard without opening each plan.
