Charles River recently unveiled a new Wealth Hub offering in the Charles River Investment Management Solution Version 9.2 series that allows asset managers with managed accounts to consolidate trades and securely distribute account and model updates to all applicable sponsors in one step.
"Asset managers want to streamline how they communicate with multiple sponsors," said Tom Driscoll, Global Managing Director, Charles River.
