What is the difference between the Client Portal and Wealthscape Investor?

  • safely store and access your most important financial documents;
  • collaborate with your financial advisor through a screen-sharing sessions;
  • set budgets and track your spending through the site’s budgeting tool; and
  • view your complete financial picture conveniently on your smartphone.

 

Wealthscape Investor provides access to the latest information on your accounts held with our brokerage partner, National Financial Services.

New Client FAQs

Account Options

You have multiple options for your retirement assets.

  • Leave the assets with your current employer
  • Roll the assets over to your new employer plan
  • Roll the assets into an IRA with your financial representative
  • Cash out assets

You should discuss these options with your advisor to ensure you understand all applicable fees and services.

Account Setup

This can be done as a direct rollover of cash or a transfer of assets. You work directly with your plan administrator when processing a direct rollover. The administrator of the employer-sponsored retirement plan determines the paperwork required to process a distribution/direct rollover to the IRA. You will work with your advisor when processing a transfer of assets (TOA). A TOA is a non-reportable and non-taxable transfer of cash or eligible securities from one account to another account with the same (or compatible) registration and account type.

If your advisor needs any additional information or clarification, a member of their team will reach out to you in a timely manner. Please allow your advisor four to six weeks to complete your financial plan.

As soon as your accounts are established, you will be able to access them online in either of our two portals – Wealthscape Investor or Allegheny’s Client Portal.
