AWM enhances AustChoice platform
Australian Wealth Management (AWM) has moved to beef up its AustChoice platform in a bid to improve its functionality and attractiveness to advisers.
The platform, distributed exclusively by AWM subsidiary DKN Financial Group, consists of two master trusts intended to cater to the needs of both superannuation and investment clients, and the enhancements announced by DKN this week are aimed at improving its functionality.
According to DKN the enhancements, which include improved online reporting and advanced research, are aimed at repositioning AustChoice at the forefront of the industry.
The online reporting improvements include access to real-time data with the ability for advisers to generate an online report and view live data, while the advanced search improvements are intended to make it easier for advisers to extract information.
