Commonwealth Financial Network® Offers New Quarterly Statements With Enhanced Performance Reporting
Waltham, MA (May 22, 2012)—Commonwealth Financial Network® announces the release of new quarterly statements with enhanced performance reporting, available to investor clients of the independent broker/dealer’s network of financial advisors. The Preferred Portfolio Services® (PPS) quarterly statements, which will replace the current Advent quarterly statements used by Commonwealth, now display all accounts in a household—not just fee-based accounts—providing clients a more holistic view of their portfolios.
Improved performance reporting makes available:
“Investors in our beta test found the simplified layout and organization of the statements to be straightforward and intuitive, making it easier for them to review their statements and understand their portfolios,” said Darren Tedesco, managing principal of innovation and strategy. “This enhances the advisor’s role as an educator and partner in working to help clients achieve financial goals.”
Advisors can customize individual investor statements by opting to include a portfolio summary, portfolio performance, asset allocation information, holdings, and a quarterly market commentary. Advisors can also brand statements with their firm name and logo.
“Our advisors requested the ability to pick and choose what information to display for their clients—and that’s exactly what we’ve provided with the new PPS quarterly statements,” said Tedesco.
