Fidelity Integration FIWA Conversion

Fidelity Institutional Wealth Adviser LLC (“FIWA”) offers the digitally automated managed account platform (“AMP”) to financial intermediaries for use with their clients or prospective clients.  Since its inception, “Geode Advisors” has been the Investment Advisors.  However, FIWA is ending its contract with Geode so that going forward “FIWA” can be the investment advisor.  As part of this Conversion (from Geode to FIWA), Fidelity is taking this as an opportunity to make a few product updates as well to better position AMP and also to clean up their book of business by decommissioning the firms which has no to little usage of AMP so far and by ending support for AMP 1.6 users.  Lastly, we will be fetching Model details by using a new “Models details API” from Fidelity and will NOT be fetching from eMoney like we did for “Legacy Financial” in the past.  There are NO groundbreaking changes for the end-users perspective, however, there are critical Business logic and flow changes.  Read more….
