Combining streamlined online services with easy-to-use tools and reporting, our platform works with your business – simplifying administration and putting you firmly in control. Plus, we don't need a signature for our key online transactions (including new business, withdrawals and trading).
Portfolio planning tools
We’ve designed our core online portfolio planning tools to make it easier to advise your clients:
- Product reporting - our client reporting tool provides you with detailed summaries of your clients’ products and their performance, making it even easier to tailor your conversations.
- Research Centre – browse and compare the funds on offer, see fund charges and objectives and monitor performance.
- Capital gains tax (CGT) tool – gives you the information you need to manage your clients’ CGT liabilities.
- Portfolio scan – a product level tool enabling you to see how the investments in your client’s portfolios work together. Plus, it gives you tailored reporting so you can see the asset mix, performance and holdings.
- Report Zone – benefit from valuable and efficient management reporting that helps you identify opportunities, keep track of business and demonstrate the value of your advice.

Supporting your clients
ARC provides all the support you need to keep clients up to date with their investment progress, including:
- a clear and intuitive customer dashboard to provide your clients with online access to their latest valuations and transaction history. Unique to ARC is a gating system which lets you agree a level of access with your client that suits their needs, from no or view only access, to trading access. The most complex products and investments are only available through you.
- quarterly statements and yearly tax vouchers, which we provide by post and online.
- personalised illustrations when a client wants to arrange a new product or increase
contributions to an existing one.
You can also use ARC to:
- Prepare, edit and issue client reports tailored to your specific requirements and preferences. Our Product reporting tool includes customisable date range and product selection, and graphical representation of the valuation and the performance of your client's account.
- Generate both detailed and summary portfolio analysis using online tools such as portfolio scan. You can print these as PDF documents, ready for your clients.
