SunTrust Securities, the retail brokerage division of US commercial bank SunTrust Banks, has registered its investment advisors for the Thomson Advisor Wealth Management Platform.
The firm's investment consultants are using the Thomson Advisor Investment Center for client presentation to illustrate key investment strategies and simplify investment concepts to help close sales.
The system provides access to Thomson Financial's online database of 35,000 stocks, mutual funds, and variable annuities, so that consultants can quickly find, sort and rank appropriate investments. In addition, interactive charting, breaking news and proprietary analytics offer real-time analysis and insight on investment options.
Bill O'Conor, president of Thomson Financial's wealth management group, comments: "Signing a division of one of the nation's largest commercial banks is evidence that there is a strong need for our powerful solution in the financial community in addition to the positive reception we've received from the traditional broker/dealer market."
