Finaplex enhances wealth management platform with Telekurs Financial’s Valordata Feed
Zurich, 19 June 2007 – Telekurs is pleased to announce that Finaplex, a leading supplier of wealth relationship management software to some of the world’s most prominent wealth managers, has licensed the Valordata Feed to enhance its wealth management applications solutions.


In keeping with its mission to offer superior software and data integration services to an expanding wealth management customer base, Finaplex will integrate reference data and pricing from Telekurs Financial’s Valordata Feed (VDF”) into its Finaplex OnDemand product.

The Finaplex OnDemand product is a hosted, web-based, client relationship and portfolio management application for financial advisors. The Finaplex OnDemand application integrates tax lot accounting, GIPS-consistent performance measurement, CRM, proposal generation and portfolio management into a single wealth management platform. Finaplex also offers optional reconciliation services, providing a near turnkey application environment for users.

Finaplex was founded to meet the retail financial services industry’s need to see their customers’ complete financial picture, make proposals that gather assets, and manage portfolios more effectively”, said Peter Tierney, President & CEO of San Francisco-based Finaplex. By combining a sophisticated database with modular business applications that map directly to the wealth management cycle, the Finaplex OnDemand application consolidates real-time information from all in-house and third-party systems into a single desktop, and provides wealth managers with a true household view of a client's holdings, preferences and restrictions.”

Mr. Tierney went on to say, The addition of global reference data and pricing from Telekurs Financial gives our clients access to an extraordinary breadth and depth of worldwide security-level information, along with a fully automated update process made possible by Telekurs’ fully encoded data structure. By including this data set in our Finaplex OnDemand service, our wealth management customers will be able to greatly improve their ability to analyze customer portfolios on an intraday or daily basis.”

The VDF from Telekurs will be used to drive Finaplex OnDemand applications ranging from Proposal Generation and Portfolio Analysis, to Performance Reporting.

One of the fundamental goals of the Finaplex suite of wealth management applications is to equip wealth managers with automation and integration, allowing them to deliver better advice and targeted products, while streamlining front-office operations”, said Barry Raskin, Managing Director of Telekurs Financial in the Americas. Our Valordata Feed is ideally suited as a data source for these applications, because the 3.3 million global securities provides breadth of coverage and the structured, fully encoded data provides depth of automation. We are very pleased that Finaplex has chosen to enhance its overall service offering by including Telekurs as a significant content partner.”
