This product is ahead of competing products for these reasons:

From a product review in the July 1999 issue of TASC, "This is easily the most elaborate fund switching software we've run across, and it's be worth the time to check it out." The software package has been available for four years. We have incorporated dozens of suggestions from our customers. The software is very easy for the beginner to learn but has advanced features for the most sophisticated investor and money manager.

We are constantly updating the software and most upgrades have been free to our users as a simple download from our web site.
