🛡️ Built for Fiduciary Duty

"I Used Independent Ratings" Is Defensible.
"I Built My Own Spreadsheet" Is Not.

Third-party validated risk ratings you can cite. Compliance documentation you can show. Process you can defend.

The Fiduciary's Challenge

Clients expect you to actively monitor risk. Regulators demand documented process. But most RIAs lack the tools to do either systematically.

The Expectation Gap

Clients assume risk is being actively monitored. When risk changes, advisors are often the last to know—explaining losses after they happen instead of preventing them.

The Documentation Gap

SEC examinations increasingly focus on documented due diligence. "I did research" isn't enough. You need timestamped, auditable evidence of your process.

The Defensibility Gap

When losses occur, can you prove reasonable investigation? Third-party ratings are defensible. Personal opinions are not.

The Time Gap

Manual research is time-consuming and inconsistent. You need systematic monitoring that runs continuously—not quarterly reviews that arrive too late.

What You Can Tell Clients

"We monitor changes in risk metrics, not just performance. We use independent, third-party validated analysis. We don't wait for losses to explain risk—we identify it before it materializes."

That's a conversation worth having. That's a process worth documenting. That's a practice worth building.

Traditional vs. ERS Approach

Without ERS With ERS
Explain losses after they happen Identify risk before losses occur
Quarterly reviews arrive too late Real-time alerts when risk changes
"I did research" (not defensible) "I used third-party validated ratings" (defensible)
Clients question your process Clients see documented, systematic oversight
SEC examination: hope for the best SEC examination: timestamped audit trail
Differentiate on personality Differentiate on process and outcomes
