In light of recent industry developments, TSI is proud to continue serving the hundreds of institutional money managers and brokers using the Firmview system.

As a non-broker, impartial, third-party, TSI's FirmView preserves for every broker the branding and client contact that constitutes the broker's value-added differentiation. Money Manager logins are free, and provide the ability to:
  • - review and approve their 28(e) invoices
  • - create CSA/CCA payment instructions
  • - review their balances at each broker
  • - view, report and download trade details FirmView will interface with any internal broker system via a secure, data interchange specification.

With a large number of money managers already using FirmView, new brokers to FirmView will find many of their clients already prepared to use the system. For brokers also needing a robust and flexible internal system, TSI offers their CAS commission allocation system. FirmView deployment time is solely dependent upon the setup of the data interchange at each broker - typically a 30 day timeframe. This data interchange capability is part of the core functionality of CAS, and in one case, allowed for deployment within a week.

Firmview is a system that has been in production use since 2003 and has been updated frequently to make use of the latest web technology. It is a refined product of years of feedback and suggestions from the buy-side and sell-side users. It is constantly evolving and expanding in functionality in response to industry feedback and suggestions. TSI looks forward to continued adaptation to meet industry needs.
