NEWS & VIEWS
When wealth management companies simplify tax reporting with the right financial solutions, there are many benefits for their business. One of the most significant is providing a better service for their clients. Customer demands are increasing, and changing legislation makes it hard to keep on top of liability calculation and tracking. Gathering, analysing, and reconciling data puts extra pressure on staff and creates obstacles when advising on the most tax-efficient outcomes. There are even more hurdles with complex investment vehicles and areas like excess reportable income (ERI).
If you struggle to provide automated, efficient, and accurate reports, you need FSL’s trusted financial software and data products.

ORF: a single trusted data source for offshore funds tax treatment
HMRC is clamping down on offshore funds tax avoidance. Investigations increased eight-fold between 2016/17 and 2019/20, and we expect this trend to continue. Despite the obligation to report these transactions, it’s difficult for wealth management firms to identify the funds and determine liabilities. FSL Offshore Reporting Funds (ORF) has the most comprehensive funds coverage in the market. Plus, it provides you with the specific data you need for total confidence in your reporting. The data is available in reference spreadsheet format, CSV and XML import files. And we do more than supply it. Our dedicated team will decode financial data, helping you to make the most informed decisions and reduce client risk.
ETHiX: a feature-rich solution for modern ESG investing
ESG investing is soaring. Clients want wealth managers who can advise on sustainable investment strategies based on ESG ratings and performance. But a lack of available or standardised ESG data has hindered things for too long. ETHiX enables you to provide independent assessment and in-depth analysis of client portfolios and ESG models using our extensive database. You can score a full portfolio, examine specific companies and funds, or rebalance investments according to preferred ESG criteria. In short, it closes the gap between what the client wants and what you can deliver.
