JP Morgan Worldwide Securities Services (WSS) has launch the Fund Reporting and Media Exchange Site (FRaMES), which provides Mutual Fund Administration regulatory services clients with real-time access to a secure, collaborative work environment for fund administration activities.
The FRaMES portal is the newest component of JP Morgan ACCESSsm, the firm’s web-based platform for multiple information, compliance and portfolio management applications.
FRaMES provides real-time document sharing, including uploading and download functions, as well as online delivery capabilities and data archives for board books and records. In addition to document management, FRaMES houses proprietary research, online tools and client-specific links to industry groups, regulators and vendors. The portal, which is accessible from any web-enabled computer through J.P. Morgan ACCESS, will initially be available to Regulatory Services clients and Chief Compliance Officers in the Americas.
Peter Donatio, Product Executive – Americas for JP Morgan Worldwide Securities Services, says: “As our Fund Administration professionals work with clients to prepare for a Board of Directors’ meeting, the work is often completed in conjunction with the service provider, the clients, the asset manager and even the subadvisor. FRaMES allows them to work collaboratively in one document and the final materials can even be accessed by board members remotely through their J.P. Morgan ACCESS account, from the office or on the road on their iPad.”
“In this ever increasing data centric world, it is our top priority to provide clients with easily accessible, real-time information that is essential to their business objectives,” says global platform executive for JP Morgan Worldwide Securities Services. “As such, JP Morgan continues to innovate and invest in new technologies and expand upon existing solutions in order to rapidly respond to changes in the market and the evolving needs of our client base.”
