Architecture

Financial simplicity provides an open architecture, both in terms of technology architecture and business architecture.

Business architecture

The business architecture that financial simplicity supports allows our customers with:

• Choice of asset administration and registry systems, whether broker sponsored accounts, custody accounts or investment administration platforms such as IDPS
• Choice of execution brokers, and integration with order routing systems to support this
• Choice of operating legal structures, in Australia whether this being a Managed Discretionary Account or Managed Investment Scheme

This open architecture provides our customers with choice of in-house systems or outsourced suppliers as and when they like, reducing single supplier dependency and ability to continually compare and contrast supplier value propositions. This architecture is consistent with the industry trends of:

• Outsourcing asset administration in a highly competitive marketplace
• Focus on core skills and competancies, and leveraging outsource providers for non-core skills
• Role segregation for improved performance measurement and reducing business risk

Technology architecture

Financial simplicity's open and industry standard intenet technology based architecture provides for:

• Rapid deployment
• Open integration with customer's existing or selected systems
<
• Connectivity with third party providers such as brokers, custodians and other investment platforms

Below is a diagram of a typical deployment of the financial simplicity architecture.
