💡 Highlights of the VieFund Report
- Multi-company summary: The report groups together the assets held with different insurers or institutions (e.g., ELC/Equitable, Manulife, Assumption) on a single document.
Consolidated view: This is the ideal tool to offer the client a global view of their financial assets at a glance.
