Schwab Intelligent Technologies Expands OpenView Gateway Integration for RIA's

Schwab Intelligent Technologies™ announced today new participants in Schwab OpenView Gateway™ along with enhancements to the Schwab Advisor Services proprietary web trading platform to increase the depth and breadth of Schwab’s technology offerings for advisors and better facilitate day-to-day business activities with both Schwab and their clients. New additions to Gateway include Envestnet | Tamarac’s Advisor Rebalancing® application, PIEtech’s MoneyGuidePro, and Zywave’s NaviPro Planning Suite introducing both financial planning as well as trading and rebalancing integration to the program.

“Over the past two years, we have built on the foundation of Schwab Intelligent Integration and now have over 700 RIA firms leveraging the integrations through a range of solutions,” said Neesha Hathi, senior vice president, Advisor Technology Solutions. “Today, in addition to working with existing providers to deepen their integration, we are introducing a new round of capabilities and relationships that deliver a richer and more expansive set of integration options for advisors.”

Expansion of Schwab OpenView Gateway

Schwab OpenView Gateway, the flexible, open-architecture technology platform that enables integration between Schwab systems and those of participating technology providers, is extending its reach to include integration with financial planning and trading and rebalancing providers.

The Gateway program will now include Tamarac’s popular Advisor Rebalancing® application. Advisors will be able to access Schwab’s real-time custody data via the application to make more informed rebalancing and trade execution decisions. Tamarac will also be integrating with Schwab’s new web trading platform to provide advisors with streamlined processing of account-level trades as well as block trades and allocations.

In addition, Schwab Intelligent Technologies is announcing the participation of two technology providers who offer financial planning solutions: PIEtech’s MoneyGuidePro and Zywave’s NaviPro Planning Suite. Initial integrations with Zywave and MoneyGuidePro will be focused on facilitating the seamless integration of client profile and client account information including balances and positions, creating more efficiency for advisors and operational staff.

“As RIAs continue to look for efficiencies in managing both investment portfolios and relationships with their clients, we expanded the breadth of Schwab OpenView Gateway integration to help RIAs enhance additional areas of their practice,” said Hathi. “Building integration with Zywave and MoneyGuidePro and deepening our relationship with Tamarac will help advisors gain efficiencies and deliver a better client experience.”

Today, Schwab OpenView Gateway offers integration between Schwab systems and a range of industry leading providers. Schwab Intelligent Technologies has broadened this integration to include multi-custodial views for those advisors who use PortfolioCenter Hosted. Additionally, advisors will soon have the capability within their CRM to initiate move money transactions on Schwab Advisor Center as well as apply changes to the portfolio management data from their CRM.

“Our new ‘bi-directional’ integration capabilities add another dimension to Schwab Intelligent Integration and are especially powerful for firms who leverage CRM as a core platform,” said Brian Shenson, vice president, Advisor Technology Solutions. “Advisors can now reap the benefits of thoughtful, deliberate integration between disparate technologies.”

In addition to the new participants in Schwab OpenView Gateway, portfolio management integration continues with the pilot of Advent’s Black Diamond, extending availability of Schwab's custodial data to include intraday information and operational alerts.

New web trading platform to launch in Q3

Beginning in July, Schwab will begin rolling out a new web trading platform that is deeply integrated with Schwab Advisor Center. The new platform will feature a revamped order entry experience with a new, high-level modular dashboard giving advisors quick and easy access to contextual information (such as research and the impact of trades on balances) at key steps in the trading process.

“Our client base, comprised of nearly 7,000 advisory firms, is incredibly diverse with varying trading and workflow needs,” said Hathi. “We built a more flexible, intuitive web trading experience within Schwab Advisor Center that will provide an enhanced, integrated trading experience for all types of firms.”
