Alps Fund Services, a Denver-based turnkey fund service provider, has introduced a Selling Agreement Management System as an enhancement to its web-based Alps Virtual Access information delivery platform for its distribution clients.

The system allows Alps' clients access to their entire intermediary agreement library and alerts clients on the status of a selling or participation agreement.

'SAMS is a proprietary system that not only provides clients with individual email alerts informing them of events concerning their distribution partners, but also goes a step further by providing convenient retrieval of all agreements and notices of evaluations based on research performed by Alps as part of its integrated broker/dealer compliance programme,' says Tison Cory, senior paralegal at Alps.

Phil Mosakowski, a senior marketing representative with Firsthand Funds, says: 'SAMS makes my life a lot easier because I have instant access to our entire selling agreement database any time of day and can download a PDF of anything I need in seconds.'
