Envestnet
It is very well suited for reviewing client proposals, model portfolios and analyzing underlying holdings within various funds and portfolios. Envestnet also creates very clean client reports that are easy to read and understand. We also like Envestnet's proposal tool and have used the various proposal functions and reports when pitching new business.

Envestnet’s platform is very clean and user friendly. They have continued to provide software and platform updates and are open to client feedback and critiques. The portfolio analysis tool is a lot cleaner and more professional compared to other tools like Morningstar Direct and assetmark. Their fund universe is very extensive and with the additions of CITs we’ve been able to leverage the tool more effectively

Unlike Active Trader Pro, TD Ameritrade's advanced desktop platform thinkorswim has no frequent trader requirements. It is also very advanced, boasting 400 technical studies and 20 drawing tools. It offers paper money, a practice mode. Forex and futures can also be traded on thinkorswim. There are many useful features on thinkorswim, such as heat maps, live streaming of CNBC, an economic calendar, alerts, and more. thinkorswim is tailored to more sophisticated traders and it is not that user-friendly compared to Active Trader Pro.
