Allfunds, Europe’s largest fund distribution platform, has launched three digital solutions focused on improving fund manager and distributor productivity and increasing access to market intelligence. The three new wealthtech tools are Digital Onboarding for Fund Houses, Telemetrics 2.0 and Allfunds Connect Marketplace

Allfunds Connect is a digital platform where users can access digital solutions including digital onboarding to the Allfunds platform, data analytics, and a universe of over 220,000 funds, providing a marketplace of digital distribution tools for fund houses and distributors.

New functionalities include a fully configurable interface, a full view of Allfunds’ clients, daily data updates, as well as the ability to screen information by different time periods.  All this is in addition to the previous functionality of detailed data by client breakdown, client flows, AUM, region, funds, assets and flows.

The third tool, Allfunds Connect Marketplace, opens up a catalogue of 220,000 fund classes to fund selectors and advisers with a new front-end design enabling users to create fund listings and access information on each fund, not only from Allfunds’ catalogue, but also from other sources such as Morningstar and Citywire.
