Advisor View is a dynamic performance reporting application that delivers the information your staff needs in an easy-to-use interface.
View performance across all your accounts in aggregate by advisor, household, or any custom grouping. Design custom PDF reports for internal and client-facing use. Build custom dashboards for staff and give them access to the information they need – all in an elegant, web-based application.
Add custom graphics to your PDF reports and completely customize the look and feel to create meaningful reports that strengthen your firm’s brand. Use the Advisor View automated report generation and delivery functionality to greatly abbreviate your quarter-end reporting process.
There are three primary types of reports in Advisor View:
Dynamic Reports. Point-in-time snapshots of portfolio holdings and accounts, as of the previous market close date. These reports are formatted for on-screen viewing and are not ideal for print distribution. You can access the dynamic reports from the Reports menu.
PDF Reports. PDF reports are used for internal and client-facing use. You can customize the look of PDF reports to create meaningful reports that strengthen your firm’s brand. These reports are ideal for printing or for quarterly statements. You can access PDF reports from the PDF Templates menu.
Bulk Reports. Custom comma-delimited reports that you can build using data found in Advisor View and Advisor Rebalancing.
Advisor View provides several report types and associated initial versions of each. You can build any number of reports for your firm’s internal use, and for sharing out to your clients via the client portal.

Advisor View and Tamarac Services streamline your billing and deliver an array of customizable billing features, so you can bill clients based on their preferences. Handling quarterly billing for your firm, Tamarac Services can bill at various rates, bill in arrears or in advance, exclude certain assets from billing, and apply discounts at the account or household level.
With Advisor View and Tamarac Services, you can take advantage of these powerful billing options:
AVERAGE DAILY BALANCE BILLING. Instead of using the beginning or ending market value of a security to determine the rate schedule to apply, Advisor View can use the average daily value of the portfolio to determine the appropriate fee.
UNLIMITED RATE TIERS. Create an unlimited number of rate tiers. Fees can be based on the value of the total portfolio, asset classes, sectors, subsectors, or security types.
ON-DEMAND BILLING. Run billing statements during the billing cycle to recognize fees for new accounts, closed accounts, or projected revenue.
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AT MULTIPLE LEVELS. Apply discounts at the account, billing definition, or billing group level.
ONLINE Billing STATEMENTS. Quickly post personalized billing statements to the client portal for online viewing.

Dashboards aggregate various account data on a single page. You can create dashboards around a single kind of report that applies specifically to your role or around a broad variety of reports so you can monitor several areas at once.

You view and manage your dashboards on the Dashboard page.
You can add a report to a dashboard by clicking Add Report on the Dashboard. For more information on adding reports to the dashboard, visit Working With Dashboard Modules.
