Reporting

Start with core reports and make them your own with dozens of customization options. You can create reports that display the information that matters most to your clients, then keep them internal or make them available to the client online. Integrate newsletters and video market commentary. Drop off reports in Vault, or use one of our integrated Vault providers. We’ll even handle the e-delivery and print fulfillment to your clients.

Fees

Arbor Point Advisors offers flat, linear and tiered fee schedules. Fees are calculated and charged to accounts in arrears using the average daily balance of the account value of the previous period. After we calculate the fees for you, we prepare and upload the file to the custodian. Then, we post the advisory fee payments and facilitate the payment to any third-parties associated with your client accounts.
