April 8, 2015 – First Rate, a leading provider of wealth management and client reporting solutions for the financial services industry, today announced Client One Securities LLC, a full-service broker-dealer and registered investment advisor, has selected ARKON as its integrated wealth management solution.

“We were initially looking for a reporting solution to support the efforts of our advisors,” said Client One President Mike Tuma. “Once we delved deeper into combining client reporting, customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities and practice management, it seemed like a natural fit to choose First Rate’s ARKON.”

Client One manages approximately $900 Million in assets and is focused on streamlining its current capabilities with an integrated, comprehensive and relationship-centric wealth management platform. ARKON will provide Client One with the ability to support its practice and client relationships from a single platform. This includes the CRM capabilities, but also the ability to do email archival, file archival, client portal and practice management. The solution further encompasses First Rate’s reporting capabilities directly within the CRM providing quick access to client returns, allocation and practice branded performance reporting.

Client One will also launch Lightning within the ARKON structure, which aims to provide streamlined reporting options backed by the full complement of First Rate’s reporting capabilities. Lightning, First Rate’s turnkey client reporting solution, focuses on supporting firms and institutions with growing operations.

“Client One becomes our third client to sign onto the ARKON platform,” said First Rate’s General Manager Patrick Flaherty. “They are a rapidly growing firm and First Rate is elated to provide the best solution and evolving technology to its advisor practices. With ARKON’s streamlined and integrated approach, Client One is able to concentrate on nurturing client relationships and growth.”
