PCR, FINARTIS
, which provides total wealth data aggregation services for family offices, institutions and ultra-high net worth clients, has partnered with Switzerland’s FINARTIS, an investment and risk reporting business. The move ramps up US-based PCR’s push into Europe.

The firms will deliver digital portfolio lifecycle management from enrollment, aggregation, to reconciliation, management, accounting, and reporting.

The solutions will be designed to cover clients with multi-asset and multi-currency requirements.

Automating how information is consolidated from the complex holdings of UHNW investors has challenged banks, advisors and family offices for years. This is particularly serious because half of UHNW holdings are often in illiquid areas such as property and private equity.

“We believe FINARTIS has a differentiated approach of delivering a holistic data-driven experience that helps bankers and investors significantly improve their vision of their investments and risks within their portfolios,” Robert Miller, PCR chief executive, said.

Jean-Luc Freymond, founder and CEO of FINARTIS, added: “Many firms and institutions today are struggling with aggregating disparate investment data and producing comprehensive and meaningful reporting, forecasts, and analysis for their entire investment portfolio of liquid and alternative investments. We are excited about closing this significant gap that exists in the marketplace by collaborating to roll out this compelling offering and to enter the US market with a mature platform built on years of Swiss Banking knowledge.”
