New Vision® Functions Coming Soon

At DST Vision™, we are always looking for ways to improve or add functionality to meet your needs. Below are some of the planned projects. Look for more details in the next edition of the “Vision View”.

•  Integrate Outside Assets in My Portfolios
Vision’s My Portfolios feature allows you to group and store customers’ mutual fund and variable annuity assets into meaningful relationships. However, when a customer’s assets are with financial institutions that do not participate in Vision, you cannot completely present a customer’s holdings. In the future, you will be able to manually enter a customer’s outside assets into an existing portfolio and generate a consolidated report through Vision. Any asset with a ticker symbol will be priced daily.
   
•  Consolidated Reporting of Portfolio and Household Values
With this enhancement, the value for every portfolio will be conveniently accessible from the My Portfolios page. Similarly, the value of each household will be available from the My Households page. You will be able to sort the new value fields and easily identify your high-dollar portfolios and households.
   
•  Additional Transaction History Information
The Transaction History page will begin displaying more details about transactions, specifically on exchanges and transfers. This is in addition to its current displays: transaction type; confirm date; trade date; dollar, share amount and price of the trade; and a running account share balance.
   
•  Free Shares in Back-End Sales Charge Calculator
Currently, Vision’s back-end sales charge calculator displays only free dollars. This enhancement will display free shares.
   
•  Variable Annuity Information in Recent Transactions
This enhancement will incorporate variable annuity transaction information in Vision’s Recent Transactions feature and transaction alert e-mail notices.
