"Industry News, Helpful Hint, & Upcoming Events" eNewsletter

March 18, 2025

This week's Helpful Hint is:

"Valuing foreign securities in $US"

Sometimes, our clients ask us to price securities traded on non-US exchanges. In these situations, the values reported on APPRAISE valuations are in $US. We convert from the foreign currency.

If you have questions, you can EMAIL US for more information.

Six ways to get your valuations. Have it your way!

ESI-Appraise gives you six ways to get your estate, gift, and trust tax securities valuations. You don't have to fit into our workflow. We fit into yours. Have it your way!

1. APPRAISE.API: a secure interface that streamlines portfolio pricing. This is done by allowing clients to program directly from their trust system into our proprietary pricing system and customize it for their reporting needs. No personal or client data is exchanged. This can be a way to cut costs, improve efficiency, and improve your processing metrics.
2. APPRAISE.Web: A web-based application, accessed through any browser, that provides stock and bond valuations for estate, gift, and trust tax. Portfolios are saved to your account and accessible wherever you are, on any device.
3. APPRAISE.Software: Our proprietary software that has been serving our clients since 1985. Install it on any computer and get the estate, gift, and trust tax valuations you need quickly, accurately, and securely.
4. APPRAISE.SaaS: Software as a Service (SaaS) means we host the software, which you access via the internet, and you store your data locally on your computer. This benefits you and your information technology group because a hybrid solution takes the best of software and web and combines them. You're always running the current version and do not need to install updates. Your portfolio data is stored securely on your computers. It's easy to add and remove users. The underlying technology is Citrix.
5. ESI-Direct: Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE Trust & Estate securities valuations without valuation software. Everything is done from within the Accounting or 706, reducing steps, saving time, and increasing accuracy.         
6. Outsourcing: Valuations can be submitted/delivered via email, fax, overnight courier, or mail.
