DESCRIPTION

Financial Information Network (FIN) was formed in 1969, on the foundation of providing a flexible system designed to handle the increasingly complex portfolios of investment advisors. Today, more than twenty-five years later, FIN upholds that mission to provide innovative solutions for the management needs of investment professionals.


Fin Portfolio Management and Account systems comes with the user-driven investment management package that is intuitively simple and comprehensive. FIN's platform ensures ultimate speed and efficiency. The FIN network enables off-site data security, rapid response to customer requests, data base support, as well as disaster recovery.


The typical FIN client manages taxable and tax-exempt portfolios totaling from $150 million to many billions of dollars. While most Investment Counselors have a unique investment philosophy, they generally maintain a balance of fixed income, equities and cash with a smattering of other, more exotic, issues.


FIN provides all required functionality, and much more within a friendly, uncomplicated, multiple-user context. The FIN system resides on high-speed computers. It is Windows and LAN compatible. FIN also provides installation services with ongoing network integration, and maintenance.
