Orion and Pontera Expand Collaboration with Integration that Pulls Retirement Accounts Directly into Orion Eclipse Workflows

Centralized trading teams can now automatically plan, rebalance, and report on 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and more at scale and across multiple portfolios without multiple, manual orders

Orion and Pontera today announced an expanded integration that activates and automates more powerful investment strategies and rebalancing workflows within the Orion Eclipse trading and rebalancing platform. Building on the existing integration for reporting and support of client billing workflows, advisors and centralized trading teams can now incorporate 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and other workplace plans into tax-aware household strategies and rebalance across portfolios at scale, supported by data streams through Pontera.

The enhanced integration creates planning and execution efficiency; in lieu of dozens, if not hundreds, of individual orders, advisors are now able to implement a strategy across multiple portfolios. This expanded visibility helps firms incorporate more of the household into a single workflow, improving coordination today while creating greater flexibility for future innovation.

“Retirement accounts are often a client’s largest assets, yet they’ve historically been cumbersome to manage and difficult to incorporate into an enterprise-wide portfolio,” said Dave Goldman, Chief Business Officer at Pontera. “Pontera has flipped that script, allowing firms to incorporate these assets into tax-aware household strategies and rebalance at scale, supporting broader investment strategies.”

With secure data flowing from Pontera into Orion Eclipse, held-away retirement accounts are embedded into a shared workflow for advisors and centralized trading teams, creating a single, centralized view of the portfolio.

“Advisors want to deliver advice that reflects the full household, not just the assets they can easily see,” said Reed Colley, President of Orion Advisor Technology. “By bringing held-away retirement accounts into Eclipse workflows, this integration gives advisory teams better context to rebalance more efficiently and serve clients with greater confidence. It also expands the trusted, permissioned household data within Orion, strengthening the foundation for more intelligent, connected workflows over time.”

There are four major feature enhancements with the expanded integration, all designed to streamline operations and scale advisor impact:

  1. View retirement plans: See comprehensive plan-level information, including the fund lineup, fund-level details and changes, and plan restrictions as ‘restricted plans’ within Orion Eclipse.
  2. Holistic portfolio management: Integrate held-away accounts into client and household investment strategies for seamless tax optimization.
  3. Rebalance at scale: Rebalance across portfolios and submit through Pontera.
  4. Manage orders: Gain full visibility into orders from submission to completion, with email confirmations, status tracking, and guided error resolution.
