TD Ameritrade Institutional Brings the Power of iRebal to Veo; Bridges the Rebalancing Gap for Advisors

TD Ameritrade Institutional¹ is set to break new ground for registered investment advisors (RIAs) with the upcoming launch of a web-based version of iRebal^®, a leading portfolio rebalancing software program. Fully-integrated with TD Ameritrade Institutional's Veo^® advisor platform, the online version of iRebal will provide RIAs with one-click access to the power and core functionality of its desktop software counterpart. Advisors who custody assets with TD Ameritrade Institutional will access the new version of iRebal at no cost through Veo.

"As the RIA industry continues to experience strong growth and advisor assets under management increase, so do the difficulties in maintaining properly allocated portfolios. With iRebal in Veo, advisors can reduce weeks-long processes down to minutes, putting them in a better position to pursue potential opportunities, react to changing market conditions and ultimately provide more valuable service to their clients," said Tom Nally, president, TD Ameritrade Institutional. "Rebalancing technology can also help advisors achieve greater scale for their investment management businesses, allowing a wider range of investors to benefit from the services of a financial advisor."

iRebal software has been recognized for its ground-breaking rebalancing methods and asset allocation processes and was one of the first solutions in the industry to introduce family-level rebalancing. Like the desktop-based iRebal software, the new online version in Veo is a customizable, rule-based program which automates complex rebalancing processes, allowing advisors to simultaneously rebalance hundreds of accounts while considering unique client circumstances, tax consequences, restrictions and liquidity needs. iRebal will automatically generate trade recommendations for multiple-account level rebalancing, cash management, tax loss harvesting and other directed trading functions.

"The cost of top rebalancing products and the limitations of more inexpensive solutions has created a gap in the market and left many advisors with inefficient, labor-intensive processes," said Ben Welch, director of advisor business development and iRebal, TD Ameritrade Institutional. "We are bridging that gap by offering all advisors who custody with TD Ameritrade Institutional access to a practical, yet powerful online version of iRebal available through Veo."
