UpTick utilizes advanced natural language generation (NLG) technology to produce sophisticated and meaningful commentary on investment products. LPL Financial has selected UpTick to combine this technology with its 12-point Investment Analysis Scorecard, developed by LPL Research, to generate fund commentary that includes information about a fund’s current score as well as a historical summary of how the fund has scored over the previous 6 quarters.
“LPL is pleased to be working with UpTick to provide our advisors access to fund commentary and deeper insights that can enrich the work they do every day. Combining LPL’s unique Research capabilities with UpTick’s fund commentary enables advisors to have more resources that help them serve their clients and help plan participants work toward better outcomes,” said David Reich, Executive Vice President, LPL Financial Retirement Partners.
Mike Iapalucci, partner at UpTick said, “We are thrilled to be able to provide a useful tool to one of the leading independent BD’s engaged in the retirement industry. We believe that fund commentary is extremely helpful in terms of quickly understanding a fund’s current status as it relates to the firm’s investment requirements. Everyone involved, especially the advisor and plan sponsor, benefits from a clear and up to date assessment of a fund’s current and historical performance tailored to the firm’s proprietary research.”
