Flexible. Scalable. Cost-Effective.A unique brokerage, custody, and financial technology platform—all in one
As financial services professionals, you face the ongoing challenge of
providing clients with consistent service excellence in an environment of
constant change. To stay current and competitive, you need scalable and cost-
effective ways to manage your investment offering, provide diversification
through alternative and sustainable investments, and help clients minimize
the tax consequences of investing. You also need more efficient ways of doing
business—with less paper—to streamline your processes. Folio Institutional
offers all this and more.
MODERNIZE YOUR BUSINESSFolio Institutional offers an ideal solution to evolve and digitize your investment offering. We have comprehensive solutions for registered investment advisors, advisors to retirement plans, banks, brokerages, financial technology firms, and more. Our patented systems deliver portfolio management, trading, custody, clearing, tax optimization, a client portal, and digital advice solutions in a single integrated turnkey platform.
Turbocharge your model management—Create and manage your own models, license third-party models, or use
our Ready-to-GoTM Folios (RTGs), in any combination you choose. Choose from stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, REITs,
alternative investments, and more to manage diversified portfolios easily. Build models around specific sectors or
investing styles.
Go as digital as you want—Decide how you want to
work with us to launch your own customized digital
advice platform. Select an off-the-shelf solution
that can be private labeled just for you or pick and
choose components from our platform. Use our
comprehensive suite of APIs to build your own
custom program.
Streamline account management—Folio’s robust
client management features let you automate time-
consuming tasks, like account opening, funding,
portfolio rebalancing, billing, and reporting. With
less time spent on managing the nuts and bolts of
your practice, you can focus on client connections.
Harness Folio’s enhanced trading capabilities—Our flexible technology allows you to set account-level exclusions
for individual securities, sectors, or specific industries to customize to client needs while maintaining efficiency and
scalability. You can rebalance all accounts subscribed to a model or allocation with just a few clicks. And our window-
trading technology lets you trade free of ticket charges.
Benefit from automated tax management tools—Select from 10 tax lot relief strategies designed to support a wide
range of clients’ financial needs. Easily harvest tax gains or losses using our patented Tax FootballTM, a tool which lets
you select a desired outcome and model the tax consequences before you trade.
Offer alternative investments and private securities—We make investing in private and alternative securities
accessible to a wide range of clients, allowing them to invest in innovative businesses' stable yield offerings, real estate
securities, and so much more. Folio’s technology makes it possible to invest small amounts in multiple offerings. Clients
