TradePMR has added several new enhanced features to its Fusion custodial trading platform for RIAs.
They include sleeve trading capabilities for model strategies and portfolio options hedging for advisors who are looking to generate more yield via options strategies, the Gainesville, Florida-based brokerage and custodian services provider said.
Advisors can now build a customized portfolio strategy made up of existing models to develop a sleeve within Fusion. Strategies provide real-time asset class information using a direct integration with Morningstar, TradePMR said. An integration with FinMason provides risk scoring and strategy analytics directly in Fusion. Advisors can rebalance across the strategy or at the account level or at the model sleeve level, TradePMR said.
The company also integrated with the multi-asset Flyer Trading Network to streamline trading by eliminating the need to export and upload order and allocation files across multiple platforms, it said. Advisors using third-party portfolio management and rebalancing platforms may now electronically trade equities, exchange-traded funds and mutual funds intraday, TradePMR said.
Fusion's new Options Hedge feature gives advisors the ability to automatically generate a covered call or protective put position across multiple accounts at the portfolio level, based on advisors' hedge settings, TradePMR said.
