    Envestnet
    It is very well suited for reviewing client proposals, model portfolios and analyzing underlying holdings within various funds and portfolios. Envestnet also creates very clean client reports that are easy to read and understand. We also like Envestnet's proposal tool and have used the various proposal functions and reports when pitching new business.

    If a client is shy about investing or wants portfolio comparisons, Morningstar really hits the mark. Being able to show real-time data is great for putting a client's mind at ease. The downside to this product is, that if a client isn’t as financially literate, it takes some explaining to show them what’s going on, and they can get lost in all of the data.

    Envestnet
    Envestnet’s platform is very clean and user friendly. They have continued to provide software and platform updates and are open to client feedback and critiques. The portfolio analysis tool is a lot cleaner and more professional compared to other tools like Morningstar Direct and assetmark. Their fund universe is very extensive and with the additions of CITs we’ve been able to leverage the tool more effectively

    Morningstar
    In terms of diversity, Morningstar is the best on the market. The way they display data, and since many financial institutions use this software, it is easy to show clients how their money is doing outside of our institution. Also allows us to show portentously clients in-depth comparisons of different investment strategies.
