Our History

LOGICLY is a comprehensive web-based analytics and portfolio management platform for advisors to automate their day-to-day portfolio management workload. With powerful technology like Portfolio Coach, LOGICLY is designed by experts to simplify investment management. It frees up advisors to focus more on clients, find new opportunities, mitigate the risks and better secure their client’s financial future. All while also building their own businesses. Life is getting more demanding. Client expectations are rising, while markets get ever faster and more complex, so the traditional ‘one size fits all’ approach no longer works. LOGICLY enables advisors to do more, in less time and show the value created.

analytics

In 2017, a group of market makers and traders realized there was a huge gap in the analytics market when it came to analytics around ETF liquidity. They set out to develop tools for the distribution and capital markets teams at ETF issuers, to help them better position their products. The liquidity tools, which include our TruLiquidity ETF scoring, quickly expanded to include more tools to help answer complex quantitative questions for ETF issuers. In our continued work with ETF issuers, it became apparent that the tools we were creating were used to answer inbound requests that wholesalers were receiving from financial advisors. They were being asked questions about how to trade ETF products, how they compared to their current funds, and how they fit into their portfolios.

We began consulting with a select group of financial advisors, learning about their current workflows for fund screening and portfolio construction. In January of 2020, we launched LOGICLY, purposefully taking off the “ETF” and spelling incorrectly (as any FinTech would!). The LOGICLY platform is not only ETFs but includes single stocks and mutual funds with tailored workflows for financial advisors.

In September of 2021, we are launching the LOGICLY Portfolio Coach, a digital strategist on your team. The Portfolio Coach monitors your client portfolios across investment policies for asset allocation, risk, costs, income, ESG and tax. Providing you automatic alerts when portfolios deviate from those policies. Even further, the Coach suggests actions to take to get those portfolios back in-line with their policies and produces trade generation lists based on your decisions. The LOGICLY Portfolio Coach has your back.

Meet
Manny!

 

Meet Manny, a Florida manatee and our LOGICLY mascot. 

Florida manatees are considered one of the state’s keystone species, meaning their behavior can alert researchers to environmental and habitat changes. In recent years, the Florida manatee has been placed back on the endangered species list. 

At LOGICLY, our slogan is: We inspire and empower confident outcomes. 

This applies to our everyday lives and includes everything from the advisor-client experience to being good stewards of the planet, like our support of manatee conservation efforts!
