The platform delivers robust capabilities, including high-quality aggregated data, premium reporting, risk analysis, CRM, invoicing and much more, while allowing users to access only those capabilities they want and need in a fully integrated package.

"This powerful look-through capability provides a deeper view into a portfolio's individual holdings and, as a result better risk management for our clients. Of course, the added benefit of improved efficiency is achieved by having this capability embedded in our platform, allowing the advisor to do more while working within a single environment."

The strategic partnership with Argus Research is the latest evolution of PCR's innovative Palette Platform. PCR's open architecture and fully customizable platform allows for the delivery of best-of-the-best capabilities to its clients.
