This week's Helpful Hint is:

"What is a daily dividend fund and how to include daily dividends which are earned, but not yet paid, in your Appraise valuation"

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.

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.
