Financial Advisor Network® Mail (FAN Mail®)

Financial intermediaries are often looking to close the back-office automation gap and eliminate inefficient data entry. Mutual fund and life insurance companies are often looking for a cost-effective way to consolidate, archive, address, and deliver customer account information over the Internet. As a result, DST Systems developed FAN Mail.

FAN Mail is an automated source for complete customer account information across mutual fund, variable annuity, variable universal life, and real estate investment trusts (REIT) companies including confirmation of purchases, redemptions, exchanges, and distributions as well as access to information on positions and daily prices. Through FAN Mail, daily transactions are transferred directly from the fund company to the financial intermediary's portfolio-management or asset tracking software. Intermediaries download the data from a directory accessed through the DST FAN Mail Web site, which is HTTPS/SSL secured.

FAN Mail streamlines daily back-office administration tasks and allows advisors to automate the manual data entry of their customers' information and transactions. As an essential component in thousands of financial advisors' and broker/dealers' back-offices, FAN Mail is a vital link to the largest single source of mutual fund, and variable annuity, variable universal life, and REIT customer account information available.
