Client Identification
Full legal name, date of birth, government ID or TIN, and contact details for regulatory KYC support and tax reporting purposes.
A standardized Wealth Management Platform Document clarifies client expectations, reduces onboarding delays, and centralizes compliance evidence. Properly executed electronic versions meet ESIGN and UETA standards for legal enforceability (see 15 U.S.C. ch. 96 and UETA) while preserving an audit trail required by regulators.
Typical users include registered investment advisors, broker-dealers, family offices, and clients completing onboarding or investment changes.
The document serves multiple internal teams—advisory, compliance, operations—and should be shared with custodians and legal counsel as needed.
