Clients Direct
Clients Direct is a system for Investment Management firms which links them to their associated Independent Financial Advisors (IFAs) and to the IFAs’ clients.
Clients Direct allows an Investment Manager to support a branded web site for each of its IFAs, through which their clients have direct online access to dynamic details of their portfolios. The system which is highly secure, provides a two-way dialogue for messages and instructions and also significantly reduces the loading on the Investment Manager’s internal systems.
Clients Direct can also be used in direct Investment Manager – Client relationships where no IFA is involved.

Clients Direct is a software system which interfaces to an Investment Manager’s back office system to provide clients with access to their account details via the internet. The system implements a front end database of client details which combines with a realtime stock price feed. The front end database is used intraday to service client enquiries thus relieving the back office of the burden of coping with high volume access. The realtime stock feed enables valuations to be based on up to the minute stock prices.
Clients Direct is available either as a stand-alone installation or as a managed service whereby MBA runs and operates the software and any third party connections on behalf of its customer. In either case the system is rendered highly secure by MBA’s online security system designed and vetted to meet the requirements of the world’s largest banks.
Clients Direct can also be combined with MBA’s Speedreport ™ module to automatically produce print files. This can produce print files across the range of clients in a rapid timescale facilitating the production of items such as annual statements.
