Introduction

Several custodian integrations allow you to see client statements, tax documents, and trade confirmations stored on the custodian servers in the Tamarac document vault. These files automatically appear in the custodian folders in your document vault when you view a Household with accounts assigned to that custodian.

Available Custodians

You can see custodian files in the Tamarac document vault for the following custodians:

Custodian Integration Document Vault Available for:
Fidelity Wealthscape Integration Advisors only
Schwab OpenView Gateway Integration Advisors only
Pershing Integration Advisors and clients

Custodian Credentials

If you use a Schwab Advisor Center One Time Passcode and the token has expired, you may have to enter your One Time Passcode when you retrieve account values.

For Fidelity, you may be asked to sign in with your Fidelity credentials before folders display data for the first time in that session.

Before You Start

To use this integration feature, the following must be enabled:

Some custodian document vault integrations extend to the client portal. If you want clients to see custodian files in their client portal document vault for those integrations, complete the following:

Set Up the Document Vault Integration with Pershing

If you use Pershing, you must complete the following steps before you start seeing Pershing documents in the Tamarac document vault:

  1. Contact your account manager at Pershing Advisory Solutions.

  2. Request Download Investor Docs or eDocs API.

  3. Once Pershing has completed their setup, you'll automatically start seeing Pershing files in your Tamarac document vault.

File Storage and Limits

Tamarac never stores the files displayed with this integration. Instead, the custodian continues to store the files on their servers, and the Tamarac document vault provides a secure link to those files directly on the custodian's servers.

The following are limits for the maximum age of files that you can see in this integration:

See Custodian Documents in the Advisor Document Vault

To access custodian folders in Tamarac:

  1. On the Documents menu, click Vault.

  2. In the Find Documents For list, select a client or Household that has the custodian set for one or more of their member accounts. If you search for a client in a folder, you will see the files for the client's Household.

  3. Click on the desired folder.

    Some custodians may require you to enter custodian credentials before displaying the files.

  4. The applicable files are displayed. You'll only see files when you select a Household.

Show Custodian Documents in the Client Portal Document Vault

You can allow clients to see custodian files in their client portal document vaults. When you enable custodian documents for a client's portal, they will see files for all the clients in their Household.

This enhances a client's experience, allowing the client to access custodian files by simply logging in to the client portal document vault.

Available Custodians

The client portal document vault integration is only available for clients with accounts custodied at Pershing.

We recommend that you only enable Pershing documents for clients who have Pershing accounts. When you enable the Pershing document vault integration for clients who don't have Pershing accounts, those clients will see empty folders.

Enable Custodian Files in the Client Portal Document Vault

To allow clients to access custodian files in their client portal:

  1. On the Accounts menu, click Clients/Client Portals.

  2. Click the name of the client you want to give custodian folder permissions.

  3. On the Client Portal panel, select Enable Pershing Documents.

    With this setting enabled, your clients will see the same custodian folders in their document vaults that you see.
