New Dashboard in Advisor Rebalancing
Envestnet | Tamarac has also rolled out enhancements to Advisor Rebalancing as part of its latest technology release.

It calls attention to accounts or groups that need to be reviewed based on:- Model/Category Deviation
- Shows average deviation based on either assigned model or category classification.
- Displays the value being managed across models or category classifications.
- Shows the number of accounts or groups being managed towards a model, or within a category classification.
- Cash Reserve Management
- Shows accounts with upcoming and/or expiring cash reserves.
- Trade Reconciliation
- Shows logged orders and recent trades that have not yet been reconciled, and therefore need to be reviewed.
- Securities
- Displays top assigned or unassigned securities based on an account's model, enabling advisors to quickly identify unassigned securities that need to be assigned.
- Shows unrealized gains/losses of an account's top securities.
Enhanced Integration with TD Ameritrade Institutional
In addition, advisors can now make TD Ameritrade Institutional the data source for Holdings, Transactions, and Unrealized Gains/Losses reports in Advisor View, Tamarac's portfolio management and performance reporting application.As part of Tamarac's ongoing integration with TD Ameritrade Institutional, advisors can also incorporate real-time account and cash balances, addresses, beneficiaries, contacts, and other information from TD Ameritrade Institutional into the Custodian Account Details report in Advisor View. Advisors can also import real-time account alerts and trade warnings from TD Ameritrade Institutional into the Custodian Account Details report, as well as daily start-of-day cost basis data for realized gains from TD Ameritrade Institutional into Advisor View's Realized Gains/Losses report.
