Virtual Brokers enhances platform with powerful portfolio analytics for investors
TORONTO, Jan. 28, 2019 /CNW/ - Virtual Brokers ("VB"), a leading Canadian online order execution only dealer, has announced the integration of Wealthscope into its client-driven service platform. Wealthscope is a state-of-the-art portfolio analytics tool that allows clients to monitor and analyze their self-directed portfolio's performance, risk, diversification, market exposure, fees and more.
"With this new partnership, Virtual Brokers' clients have access to a data-driven, state-of-the-art portfolio level analysis, one account at a time, or combined for a big picture view," said Kambiz Vatan-Abadi, Chief Executive Officer and President of BBS Securities Inc., which operates VB. "At Virtual Brokers, we are committed to the continued innovation of our products, services and client experiences. Integrating Wealthscope in the VB platform further advances our vision."
This advancement in technology means VB clients can now enter and aggregate their assets from other financial institutions and run analytics over their entire portfolio. This includes the option of viewing data at a single account level, selected group of accounts, or viewing all assets under all accounts at once.
Wealthscope features include:
- Portfolio scorecards, which deliver an easy-to-understand review of a client's investment portfolio, including an analysis of performance, diversification and risk exposures.
- An extensive set of analytics that include historical returns and volatility, risk-adjusted ratios, maximum drawdown and downside capture, holdings and risk exposures, yield analysis, and management fees analysis.
- A new planning tool for setting targets for retirement, savings, education and other goals, with a calculated probability of meeting the target.
