WAKEFIELD, MA--(Marketwire - Nov 8, 2011) - Vestmark, the leading innovator of advisory solutions and wealth management technology, today announced the availability of VestmarkONE for Bank Trusts. The platform provides trust officers with an unprecedented array of integrated wealth management tools and provides home office investment and compliance teams centralized management control and oversight. The platform launches with connectivity to the major trust accounting platforms including SEI, Metavante, and SunGard.

With VestmarkONE, the entire breadth of the client relationship can be managed including discretionary and non-discretionary accounts, trust accounts, retirement accounts, and accounts held away. For these client relationships, a full range of advisory solutions is supported including advisor as portfolio manager, unified managed accounts (UMAs), unified managed households (UMHs), mutual fund and ETF advisory, and separately managed accounts (SMAs) -- all on one platform.

Client-facing investment managers can now seamlessly integrate their portfolio management and construction expertise with that of centralized investment teams and 3^rd party specialists. VestmarkONE provides a range of modeling, rebalancing, and block trading tools which simplify and streamline the implementation of trading ideas and strategies across one or more portfolios, with built-in pre-trade compliance checks and tax management decision-making for each and every order. VestmarkONE also offers tremendous flexibility to firms in assigning decision making authority throughout the investment process including asset allocation, security selection, product and manager selection, and trade execution.

In addition, VestmarkONE provides a series of views and alerts that provide unequaled control and oversight for compliance officials and home office executives. Efficient oversight of every account independent of whether it is managed by a client-facing investment manager in the field, a centralized portfolio management group, or 3rd party investment managers is now possible with VestmarkONE.

"Bank trust executives have had the unique challenge of competing with open architecture programs at broker dealers while balancing the long-standing role of internal investment managers with direct client relationships," said John Lunny, CEO of Vestmark. "VestmarkONE enables client-facing investment managers to fully participate in the investment process while leveraging the expertise of centralized teams and 3^rd party portfolio management."
