Investor Profile Connections

Overview

Connections in the CRM serve two primary purposes:
1. Allows other parties to place investments on behalf of a contact, access documents, and also share all communications with this party. This is useful for investors who have another person assist in managing their portfolio such as a spouse, accountant, or administrative role. 

2. Allows Individual investors to invest with their other investment vehicles such as Entities, Trusts, and IRAs.
