HARBOUR, Amatica's Suitability Assessment, Reporting and Management solution

HARBOUR is a new approach to assessing and managing client investment suitability and risk profiling.

Designed for use by wealth managers and their intermediary networks, HARBOUR is the ideal platform for taking control and improving the quality of investment advice as well as speeding the flow and retention of essential client information demanded by the FSA.

HARBOUR is an entirely online solution. Using differentiated access rights, information is seamlessly shared, with access by fund and compliance managers and IFAs appropriately controlled.

Using secure web technologies, HARBOUR may be deployed across organisations, ensuring that client suitability and risk records are consistent and properly managed.

HARBOUR is one of a number of portal services available from Amatica for wealth and discretionary managers.
