Held-Away Assets & Aggregation

API networks and platforms allowing advisors to connect, view, and trade off-platform client accounts.

What's shifting

From invisible off-platform assets to two-way data flow

Legacy systems treated assets outside the primary custodian as "invisible," making comprehensive planning and holistic tax-loss harvesting nearly impossible. Distributed data networks and high-fidelity API middleware are disrupting this by allowing real-time, two-way data flow between disparate financial institutions. This capability allows the advisor's central platform to actively model, report on, and sometimes directly manage all fragmented client wealth from a single command center.
