First Rate Data Services powers investment data operations for organizations across the wealth management ecosystem.
Normalize and deliver the datasets required for accounting, performance, reporting, reconciliation, operations, and client servicing.
Example layouts that illustrate how operations can be monitored, triaged, validated, and delivered.
The Licensed Statement Processing Portal is the front door for document intake — upload, classification, extraction, human review, and approval, all in one licensed workflow built for high-volume investment operations.
The File Tracker Dashboard monitors every expected file across every custodian, administrator, and internal source — flagging missing files, failed loads, and late data before they become a downstream problem.
The Alternative Investment Operations Portal is where capital calls, distributions, valuations, and fund-of-fund holdings turn into reconciled, delivery-ready data — for private equity, hedge funds, private credit, venture, infrastructure, and real estate.
Where the Operations Portal captures and reconciles alternative investment activity, the Advisor Dashboard puts it in front of the people who need to act on it — fund performance, cash flow, and holdings, built for the conversation with a client.

We serve as a strategic partner, managing the complexities of data connectivity so your teams can focus on serving clients.
We partner with banks, trust companies, registered investment advisors (RIAs), family offices, broker-dealers, OCIOs, foundations, endowments, wealth management firms, and institutional investment organizations.

Yes. We are technology agnostic and can deliver normalized investment data to a wide variety of portfolio accounting, reporting, performance measurement, CRM, data warehouse, and downstream operational systems.
Unlike point solutions focused on a single connection type, First Rate provides a fully managed investment data ecosystem. We combine enterprise-grade technology with experienced operations teams to manage every stage of the investment data lifecycle—from connectivity and extraction to normalization, reconciliation, monitoring, and delivery.
Implementation timelines vary based on the number of data sources, custodians, and authorization requirements. Our onboarding team develops a customized implementation plan and manages the project through production deployment.
That's one of our strengths. Because our connectivity approach is source agnostic, we routinely establish new integrations with custodians, advisor portals, fund administrators, banks, and proprietary systems when business needs require them.
Every client is supported by dedicated onboarding and operations professionals who continuously monitor connectivity, troubleshoot issues, coordinate with third-party data providers, and help ensure consistent data delivery.
