Seccl’s Post

We’ve integrated with PortfolioCloud and we couldn’t be more excited! Now, Seccl-powered platforms can integrate PortfolioCloud’s technology into their existing platform workflows – providing their users with sophisticated tools for advanced portfolio management. It’s a great example of how APIs can allow for best-of-breed tools to be quickly and seamlessly integrated. This is the new normal. And we’re powering it. “We were impressed with PortfolioCloud’s model management capabilities and their ability to integrate quickly using our API. This allowed us to bring a best-of-breed DFM solution to market while freeing up our own internal development teams. It’s another integration we’re proud to bring to market – and another demonstration of how genuinely API-first technology can rapidly and cost-effectively transform experiences for the better.” James Holmes, chief commercial officer, Seccl.

With our software and services, it’s never been easier to build your own investment platform, and all in record quick time.

These embedded platforms meet planners where they work – everywhere from CRMs to cashflow modellers, DFMs to risk profilers – creating a streamlined adviser and client experience that's faster, more efficient and cheaper, too... In his latest Money Marketing article David Ferguson explains why we’re at a pivotal moment in the transition of the platform industry. And that this connected utopia is closer than you think (just ask Cooper Parry, Söderberg & Partners and Timeline). Read the full article to find out more https://hubs.ly/Q02zg1dn0
