In addition, UGRU Financial CRM has financial planning features, some of which are totally unique:

• Decision Center Calculators. Easy to use calculators that analyze how common planning strategies will impact a plan. Includes Roth IRA conversions, optimal income distribution, reverse mortgage, mortgage acceleration, guaranteed income benefit, fixed asset reallocation, and social security analysis. Once the value of the strategy has been analyzed, the user can implement it with a single click!
• Roth IRA Conversion. Test any qualified account using partial or full values for the economic benefit of performing a Roth conversion. Unlike other applications, the user can specify not only which year the execution of the conversion happens, but over how many years the client will spread out the tax cost, and whether to pay those taxes from the qualified account itself or other assets.
• Liquid Asset Priority. Determine the optimal income distribution order of your investment and bank accounts based on taxes, fees, and expected rate of return with just ONE click.
• Reverse Mortgage. Based on the variables input about the primary residence of the client, the user can test the economic value of a reverse mortgage. Surplus dollars or amount needed to fund will automatically be calculated and displayed.
• Market Dynamics. Use either traditional static returns, or Market Dynamics. Market Dynamics replaces the “static” returns commonly used by advisors when constructing financial plans. Apply the full impact of historical market returns to your asset accounts or simulate them with a hedge if the accounts are protected – such as indexed annuities or similar insurance products. Choose whether to include dividends or not and choose which market years you would like to simulate. Testing against market volatility is more realistic for accurate planning.
• Guaranteed Income Benefit. Test any account to see the gain or loss of exercising a guaranteed income benefit - NOT to be confused with simple annuitization which is also testable in the calculator. Choose full or partial values of the account, determine the start year, end year, GIB return, any bonus if applicable on purchasing an insurance product, exclusion ratio, payout start year, and payout amount per year to test the economic impact of the recommendation.
• Destination Trax™. A hybrid investment strategy that couples an aggressive market account with a fixed indexed annuity. The calculator will test to see if this strategy has a positive economic impact on the selected asset account and define what that value is. Destination Trax™ has a proven track record of reducing fees and volatility, and at the same time out-performing the major indices in many economic cycles.
• Financial Plan Summary. Auto-generate an editable full overview word document from pre-built paragraphs based on each of your plan recommendations. This document makes it easy for your clients to understand the numerical plan by putting into plain language your client’s current financial situation, the reasoning for each advisor recommendation, and the value of each recommendation in dollars.
• Money-flow Report. A convenient auto-generated spreadsheet report that easily directs staff to prep all paperwork based on your plan recommendations.
