“At SignatureFD, our goal is to positively impact the lives of 10,000 client families, which means continuing to invest in quality team members and quality processes,” said Laura Hubbell, SignatureFD’s Chief Information Officer. “Having the right technology in place ensures our team members can focus on what’s most important, serving our clients well.”

Pontera’s SOC 2 certified held-away asset management platform has enabled SignatureFD to make a number of operational improvements, including:

  • Improved data management, eliminating client credential storage
  • Streamlined account analysis and rebalancing in a unified view
  • Automated target allocation drift analysis and notifications
  • Full audit trails of all review and rebalance activities

“The Pontera platform gives us the functionality, compliance, and security we need, freeing up more time to focus on helping our clients on their path to Net Worthwhile,” continued Hubbell.

“We’re inspired by SignatureFD’s commitment to integrated outside (or held-away) account management as a key component of comprehensive wealth solutions for their clients,” said David Goldman, Chief Business Officer at Pontera. “The team at SignatureFD has already built impressive operations, and we are looking forward to supporting their plans to serve thousands of households.”

SignatureFD sees itself as more than just a financial advisor. The firm offers ongoing education and support in finances, lifestyle, business, goal setting, and more. After a successful initial rollout with Pontera, the company saw increased operational efficiency and immediate savings in the time and human capital required to manage accounts. It also cut down on time spent navigating compliance requirements; Pontera provides an audit trail of all review and rebalancing activities and is designed to protect retirement savers, advisors, and recordkeepers by ensuring advisors cannot withdraw funds or take actions that would trigger custody.
