We expect to complete the final QA, of the merged system, by the end of January 2012.

  • Most out standing issues should be addressed by the end of this week, and the enhanced "Client Investment and Taxation Report" will be available from beginning of next week.
  • Our new emailed Client Investment service will also be available from next Monday.You can receive a daily "YTD Report" within your email in-box each morning (~ 8:00am EST), no need to logon to your account.
  • While we have tried to ensure that the merge of data across the various systems, especially for Stonebridge clients who have historical data from the 30th June until the move to BBY, has been error free; please review your BBY smart portfolio, and report any issues to BBY trade support.
  • All performance reporting, has been removed until, the outstanding CMT transactions issues are resolved.
Contact your advisor or BBY tradesupport for full details of the new emailed reporting service.
