Meaningful Integrations
65% of advisor time is spent on administration and portfolio maintenance. With our technology, instantly connect your favorite technologies to our custodial platform with bi-directional communication allowing you to work more seamlessly.
User Experience First
50% of high-net-worth (HNW) and affluent clients say their primary wealth manager should improve digital capabilities across the board. Unencumbered by legacy technology and back-office systems, our state-of-the-art technology is built with the user in mind - frictionless, fast, and friendly.
Fee Transparency
Only 55% of investors trust their advisors to charge them fairly. The major custodians perpetuate non-fiduciary practices through hidden fees on products that advisors are forced to pass on to investors. At Entrustody, we enhance the advisor-investor relationship by providing a custody solution that allows advisors to be fully aligned and transparent with their clients.
