Comprehensive Compliance Solution for Your Advisors

Regulations shift and evolve, and we can help your advisors serve their clients’ best interests and stay aligned to key regulatory requirements. Morningstar Advisor Workstation weaves compliance steps into investment planning, proposal generation, and client reporting workflows.

Know Your Client

  • Use Risk Profiler to help advisors understand their client’s comfort with investment risk and make more-informed trade-offs.

  • Streamline client communication with the Morningstar for Advisors App. 

Know Your Product

  • Review a reasonable range of investments with the Due Diligence Module.
