Belvedere operates a digital investment advice platform called Emotomy.
An open-architecture offering, Emotomy offers access to various investment options and custodial providers, enabling advisers to choose from pre-constructed models or build their own.
Emotomy incorporates a range of tools covering portfolio research and construction, tailored client demographic profiling, account reviews, billing and performance reporting.
Northern Trust Asset Management head of digital investment advice Sabrina Bailey said: “We are fully committed to supporting, expanding and investing in the Emotomy platform so users will continue to benefit from its state-of-the-art functionality and user-friendly experience.”
