An Ascensus news release said the enhancements will allow for new trading interfaces to be built more quickly.
The company is now able to offer a more expansive investment platform, including share-traded exchange-traded funds (ETFs) along with a more integrated custodial solution though Frontier Trust Company, a division of Ascensus. The new platform will provide financial advisers the flexibility to deliver a more customized investment program to their clients, the company said.
“With more robust trading capabilities, we are not only delivering greater choice and more tailored solutions, but better-positioned to respond to a changing retirement landscape,” said Bob Guillocheau, Ascensus president, in the announcement.
