NEW YORK, June 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vintage, the capital markets, corporate services and institutional & fund services division of PR Newswire, today announced the launch of Vintage WorkStream and the collaboration with Appatura and their innovative smart component content management and publishing solution, DocuBuilder.
Vintage Workstream is a concierge service for Investment Advisors and their Fund Administrators to produce, SEC file and distribute Mutual Fund prospectus, shareholder reports and marketing materials. Capable of both traditional and automated publishing, Vintage Workstream is an agile document management platform that allows clients to access the best method of execution based upon the production requirements for each and every job.
Unique in the industry, Vintage Workstream is customizable to best match the publishing volume within a trust and across a series of multiple funds as well as 100% freedom to move between the two publishing workflows, depending on a specific document's' unique attributes.
Traditional publishing
- Simple workflow, lighter client responsibility and à la carte fees
- Each document managed and created individually by Vintage
- Favored stream for small trusts with limited series and Shareholder reports (regardless of trust scale)
Automated publishing with DocuBuilder
- Component content management workflow for large complexes with multiple funds
- All documents generated automatically from dynamic pool of approved content and data feeds
- Reduces redundancies and assures content integrity and design continuity across all funds' documents
- Enterprise SaaS platform: shared resource across compliance and marketing teams
- Generate prospectuses and marketing materials from the same content pool
- Favored stream for large complexes with multiple series and classes of funds as well as aggressively growing complexes
"The combination of Vintage and DocuBuilder has created a very client-centric publishing solution for mutual funds," said Richard Plotka, CEO of Appatura. "It's a complete 360 degree relationship that allows our clients, to seamlessly navigate between Appatura's automated platform and Vintage's traditional typesetting, print and filing services. We're very pleased to be working with Vintage. They have clearly positioned themselves to be a leader in execution and customer service which are important to us and our valued clients," Plotka concluded.
Vintage WorkStream supports different internal departments and international borders:
- Compliance: prospectus, shareholder reports, summary pro, SAI, supplements, XBRL/EDGAR
- Marketing: Factsheets, profiles, commentaries, pitch books, XML/HTML and other data feeds
- UCITs: Kiid's and factsheets
"Our relationship with Appatura assures complexes a smooth publishing execution, regardless if it's across a large series of prospectuses or a single, ad hoc shareholder report," said Liam Power, President of Vintage.
"One of the measures of success for a Mutual Fund is the expansion of the number large trusts with multiple funds. However, that success can add an overwhelming publishing and filing burden," explained Power. "Vintage WorkStream was expressly created to help our clients evolve from a traditional, one-document-at-a-time workflow into an automated publishing environment without losing the flexibility and value of working with their Vintage account team," stated Power. "It's an intelligent balance that assess speed, volume and of course, price."
