Features
Capture the advantage of end-to-end blue sky efficiencies. Blue Sky Solution enables your business to confidently accelerate and automate core compliance, sales monitoring and reporting and filing processes.
More Accuracy from Day One: Our solution is delivered with your fund information, state permit data, historical sales data and state-by-state filing requirements. Our blue sky compliance experts audit your data, highlight any issues and work with you to help correct data inconsistencies prior to production implementation.
Tighter Oversight and Transparency: Online review and approval processes provide management controls, promote accuracy and help ensure compliance with internal policies and procedures. Exception and warning reports support timely compliance with reporting and filing deadlines.
Easy Automation: Blue Sky Solution imports data files from fund transfer agents, broker-dealers and record-keeping platforms to support automated sales monitoring and reporting. It features graphical and numerical data analysis tools that call attention to potential sales issues or anomalous sales, ensuring more accurate reporting and mitigating over-payment of fees.
Expedited Electronic Filing: Requests for new product filings can be addressed within hours rather than days or weeks. Blue Sky Solution directly interfaces with both the BlueExpress Manager and the NASAA EFD electronic filing platforms and seamlessly supports electronic filing with states offering e-filing programs. ACH payments are easy with the built-in export feature that creates a payment file in NACHA compliant format.
Minimize Expenses and Control Costs: Blue Sky Solution stores daily sales information at the fund/state/data provider/social code level. Firms can quickly identify large daily sales that may be eligible for transactional exemptions and can configure settings for the automatic exclusion of sales to existing shareholders (SES exemption), thereby helping to reduce reportable sales and corresponding fees. Exemptions are identified by type of exemption in the “Sales Journal” facilitating analysis and calculation of cost savings.
