Data Platform for TAMPs: Multi-Advisor Analytics & Model Distribution

A data platform for TAMPs (Turnkey Asset Management Platforms) consolidates sub-advisory data, model performance, billing, and compliance across hundreds of advisor relationships into a unified analytical layer.

Unified analytics across sub-advisory relationships, model portfolios, and advisor networks.

A data platform for TAMPs consolidates sub-advisory data, model portfolio performance, billing, and compliance across hundreds of advisor relationships into a single unified analytical layer—giving TAMP operators the operational visibility and analytical depth that per-custodian reporting cannot provide.

The TAMP Data Challenge

Turnkey Asset Management Platforms operate at a fundamentally different scale and complexity than traditional RIA firms. Where an RIA manages a single book of relationships, a TAMP operates as a platform—serving hundreds of advisor relationships, each with their own clients, custodian preferences, model allocations, billing arrangements, and reporting requirements.

Scale That Breaks Standard Reporting

A mid-sized TAMP managing $5 billion across 200 advisory relationships and 40,000 client accounts generates a volume of data that overwhelms standard portfolio reporting tools. Those tools were designed for individual firms, not multi-tenant platforms. The result is a patchwork of custodian statements, model performance exports, spreadsheet-based billing reconciliation, and advisor-specific reports assembled manually by back-office teams.

Multi-Custodian Complexity

TAMPs typically operate across multiple custodians—Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing, and others—because each advisor network has existing custodial relationships. Every custodian delivers data in proprietary formats, on different schedules, with different levels of completeness. Consolidating position and transaction data into a unified view requires either expensive custom integrations or manual reconciliation across custodian portals.

Sub-Advisory Relationships Multiply Complexity

When a TAMP sources model portfolios from multiple sub-advisors, the data complexity compounds. Performance attribution must trace from individual client accounts up through advisor relationships to the model composite, then compare across sub-advisory relationships. Billing must flow correctly through the fee waterfall—TAMP platform fees, sub-advisor model fees, and advisor fees—reconciling against custodian statements that aggregate these charges in ways that obscure the underlying calculations.

Advisor-Level Reporting Demands

Each advisor expects to see their own clients' data presented clearly, often under their own brand. The TAMP must produce hundreds of variations of the same underlying report—customized for each advisor's firm name, logo, and client roster—while maintaining a single accurate source of underlying data. Without a purpose-built data platform, this reporting burden falls on back-office staff manually customizing reports for each relationship.

Without a TAMP data platform

✕Manual custodian report reconciliation weekly

✕Spreadsheet-based billing across 200+ advisors

✕Model performance calculated separately per custodian

✕Advisor reports assembled manually by back office

✕No cross-advisor adoption or drift analytics

✕Compliance monitoring reactive, not systematic

With a TAMP data platform

✓Automated multi-custodian reconciliation daily

✓Billing calculated and reconciled automatically

✓Unified model composites across all custodians

✓Advisor dashboards generated from a single data source

✓Real-time advisor adoption and drift monitoring

✓Systematic compliance tracking across all relationships

What TAMPs Need from Their Data

A TAMP's data requirements span the full lifecycle of the advisor relationship—from onboarding and model allocation through ongoing performance monitoring, billing, and compliance. The data platform must serve multiple stakeholders simultaneously: TAMP operators who need enterprise-wide visibility, advisors who need their own book-level analytics, and compliance teams who need documentation across all relationships.

Model Performance Attribution Across Advisors

TAMP operators need to know whether their model portfolios are performing consistently across the advisor network. An advisor who has implementation drift—substituting securities or deviating from model weights—will show performance that diverges from the composite. The data platform must attribute performance at the account level, roll it up to model composites, and flag advisors whose accounts deviate materially from the model's intended exposure.

Sub-Advisory Billing Reconciliation

Billing accuracy is a critical operational function for TAMPs. The platform must calculate billable AUM at the account level, apply the correct fee schedule based on the advisor's model and tier, sum fees across all accounts in each advisor relationship, and reconcile against custodian billing records. Discrepancies between calculated and collected fees—whether from incorrect AUM balances, fee schedule misapplication, or custodian billing errors—must surface automatically.

Advisor Adoption Analytics

Understanding how advisors are using the TAMP's platform is essential for growth. Which advisors are allocating the most AUM to each model? Which ones have stalled in onboarding? Where is there opportunity to expand usage within an existing advisor relationship? These questions require analytics that aggregate across all advisor accounts—something no individual custodian report can provide.

Compliance Monitoring Across Multiple Relationships

TAMP compliance teams must monitor adherence to investment policy statements, suitability requirements, and regulatory thresholds across every advisor relationship and every underlying client account. Automated monitoring flags accounts that drift outside permitted ranges, generates documentation for regulatory examinations, and maintains audit trails across the full network of relationships.

White-Label Reporting for Advisors

Advisors expect to receive their performance and account data under their own brand—not under the TAMP's. The data platform must support advisor-branded report templates that draw from a single, authoritative data source. Each advisor sees only their own clients' data, formatted to their specifications, without any manual customization effort from the TAMP's back office.

Client-Level Analytics Across the Full Book

TAMP leadership needs visibility across the entire book—not just advisor-level aggregates. Client-level analytics reveal concentration risk in specific securities or strategies, identify underperforming model implementations, surface client churn signals before assets leave the platform, and quantify the TAMP's total economic exposure to any individual sub-advisor's model performance.

How TAMP Data Differs from RIA Data

TAMPs and RIAs both work with investment data, but the architectural requirements of a TAMP data platform are fundamentally different from what an RIA data platform requires. Understanding these differences explains why RIA-designed tools consistently fail when TAMPs attempt to use them at scale.

Tenancy model

  • RIA: Single tenant — one firm's data

  • TAMP: Multi-tenant — data isolated per advisor relationship

Analytics focus

  • RIA: Account-level and client-level

  • TAMP: Model-level, advisor-level, and platform-level

Billing structure

  • RIA: Single fee layer (RIA fee)

  • TAMP: Fee waterfall: platform fee + model fee + advisor fee

Performance attribution

  • RIA: Account vs. benchmark

  • TAMP: Account vs. model composite vs. benchmark

Account scale

  • RIA: Hundreds to thousands of accounts

  • TAMP: Tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of accounts

Reporting audience

  • RIA: Internal team and clients

  • TAMP: Internal team, advisors (white-labeled), and clients

Data sharing

  • RIA: Internal only

  • TAMP: Must share data slices securely with each advisor

Compliance scope

  • RIA: One firm's compliance program

  • TAMP: TAMP compliance plus monitoring each advisor relationship

The multi-tenant requirement is the most consequential architectural difference. An RIA's data platform stores and analyzes one firm's data. A TAMP's data platform must store data for hundreds of advisor relationships in a way that maintains strict data isolation—each advisor can see only their accounts—while enabling TAMP operators to run analytics across the full dataset. Row-level security, tenant-aware data models, and role-based access controls are not optional features for a TAMP platform; they are foundational requirements.

Model-level analytics add another layer of complexity absent in RIA implementations. An RIA measures account performance against a benchmark. A TAMP must construct and maintain model composites, calculate time-weighted returns at the composite level, attribute performance across every account assigned to the model, and produce GIPS-compliant composite statistics—all while accounts are continuously flowing in and out of the composite as advisors onboard new clients.

Core Capabilities of a TAMP Data Platform

A purpose-built TAMP data platform delivers six core capabilities that collectively transform how the TAMP operates its advisor network, manages model portfolios, and satisfies regulatory requirements.

Multi-Custodian Aggregation

Pre-built connectors to Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing, TD, and others normalize position, transaction, and account data into a single schema. Daily reconciliation automatically flags discrepancies.

Model Performance Tracking

Composite construction, time-weighted returns, and attribution analysis across every account assigned to each model. Track performance consistency and identify implementation drift across your advisor network.

Advisor Dashboard White-Labeling

Branded advisor portals and report templates populated from a single authoritative data source. Each advisor sees their book, under their brand, without manual customization from your back office.

Billing Reconciliation

Automated fee calculation at the account level, applied across fee schedules by model and advisor tier, reconciled against custodian billing. Exception reports surface discrepancies before they become disputes.

Compliance Monitoring

Systematic monitoring of investment policy statement adherence, suitability thresholds, and regulatory requirements across every advisor relationship and client account. Automated alerts and audit-ready documentation.

Snowflake Data Sharing for TAMPs: The Killer Feature

Of all the capabilities a TAMP data platform delivers, Snowflake secure data sharing stands apart as the feature that most fundamentally changes the advisor relationship. It solves the problem that has plagued TAMP data distribution since the beginning: how do you give each advisor accurate, timely access to their data without creating dozens of separate data copies that immediately diverge from each other?

How it works

One source. Hundreds of views. Zero copies.

Snowflake's secure data sharing allows the TAMP to create a virtual share of any data object—a view, a table, a curated dataset—and make it accessible to a specific advisor's Snowflake account. The advisor queries the data directly from the TAMP's warehouse. There is no export, no replication, no delay, and no divergence. The moment the TAMP's data is updated, the advisor's shared view reflects the update.

Each advisor's share is configured with row-level filtering: they can only see accounts and portfolios belonging to their relationship. The TAMP operator sees everything. Sub-advisors can be granted shares limited to the model performance data relevant to their strategies.

Why This Matters for TAMP Operations

Before data sharing, TAMP back offices spent enormous effort producing and distributing reports. PDF performance reports went out monthly. Data extracts went out weekly. Every time an advisor called with a question, someone had to pull a report. The data was always at least a few days stale, and different advisors often had different versions of the same data depending on when they last received an export.

With Snowflake data sharing, sophisticated advisors—those with their own analytics teams or BI tools—connect directly to their share and build their own dashboards, models, and reports against live TAMP data. They stop calling with data questions because they have direct access. They stop receiving monthly PDFs because they can query any metric at any time. The TAMP's back office is freed from report production and focused on higher-value work.

Sub-Advisory Data Sharing

The same mechanism applies to sub-advisors managing model portfolios for the TAMP. A sub-advisor overseeing five model strategies can receive a Snowflake share containing the performance, attribution, and composite data for those five models—updated daily, directly queryable from their own systems. They can monitor composite construction, verify attribution calculations, and pull data for their own investment committee reporting without requesting extracts from the TAMP.

Maintaining the Single Source of Truth

The fundamental advantage of Snowflake data sharing is that it distributes data access without distributing data custody. The TAMP never loses control of the authoritative dataset. Every advisor, sub-advisor, and internal team works from the same underlying data. Discrepancies between what different parties see—a chronic problem with CSV-based data distribution—become impossible by design.

The Milemarker Approach to TAMP Data

Milemarker was built on the premise that wealth management data infrastructure should not require years of custom development or army-sized engineering teams to implement. For TAMPs, this means a pre-built data model designed for multi-tenant TAMP architecture, an integration library that covers every custodian and portfolio system a TAMP is likely to use, and a Snowflake-native foundation that makes data sharing a configuration decision rather than an engineering project.

130+ Pre-Built Integrations

Milemarker's integration library covers the full ecosystem a TAMP operates within: custodians (Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing, TD Ameritrade, Interactive Brokers, and others), portfolio management systems (Orion, Black Diamond, Tamarac, Envestnet, Addepar), model marketplaces, CRM platforms, and compliance systems. Each integration is maintained, monitored, and updated by Milemarker—not by the TAMP's internal engineering team. When custodians change their data formats or API specifications, Milemarker absorbs that change so the TAMP doesn't have to.

Snowflake-Native with Data Sharing Built In

Milemarker's architecture is Snowflake-native. All data lands in a Snowflake data warehouse that the TAMP controls. There is no proprietary black-box data store. The TAMP can query, transform, and extend the data using standard SQL. Snowflake data sharing is a first-class capability, not an afterthought—TAMPs can configure advisor-level shares and sub-advisor shares through the Milemarker platform without custom development.

Pre-Built TAMP Data Model

Rather than starting from raw custodian data and building a data model from scratch—a process that typically takes 12 to 18 months for a bespoke implementation—Milemarker provides a pre-built TAMP data model. This model includes the multi-tenant advisor relationship structure, the model portfolio and composite architecture, the billing waterfall schema, and the compliance monitoring framework. TAMPs implement against a tested, production-proven data model rather than designing one from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a TAMP data platform?

A TAMP data platform is a unified analytical layer that consolidates data from multiple custodians, sub-advisors, model portfolios, and advisor relationships into a single normalized data warehouse. It enables TAMP operators to monitor model performance, reconcile billing across hundreds of advisor accounts, track advisor adoption, and maintain compliance across the full book of business—capabilities that fragmented per-custodian reporting cannot provide.

How does Snowflake data sharing work for TAMPs?

Snowflake's secure data sharing allows a TAMP to expose curated, read-only data views directly to individual advisors or sub-advisors in their own Snowflake accounts—without copying, moving, or replicating any data. Each advisor sees only their own accounts, models, and performance data. The TAMP maintains a single source of truth while advisors gain direct analytical access to their slice of the data. This eliminates the latency and data quality risk of PDF reports or CSV exports.

How does a TAMP data platform handle multiple custodians?

A TAMP data platform ingests position, transaction, and account data from each custodian (Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing, TD, and others) through pre-built connectors, normalizes the data into a consistent schema, and surfaces it through a unified analytical layer. Advisors and TAMP operators see a single view of all accounts regardless of custodian, enabling cross-custodian performance attribution, billing reconciliation, and compliance monitoring.

How does billing reconciliation work across sub-advisory relationships?

A TAMP data platform calculates billable AUM at the account level, applies fee schedules based on model and advisor tier, and reconciles calculated fees against custodian billing records. Discrepancies surface automatically in exception reports rather than requiring manual comparison of custodian statements. The platform also tracks billing across sub-advisory layers—TAMP fees, model manager fees, and advisor fees—ensuring accuracy at every level of the fee waterfall.

How long does implementation take for a TAMP?

TAMPs with standard custodian connections and established model portfolios typically see initial production data within 8 to 12 weeks using Milemarker's pre-built TAMP data model and 130+ integration library. Full advisor dashboard deployment and Snowflake data sharing configuration typically adds 4 to 8 weeks depending on the number of advisors and white-label requirements. The total timeline from kickoff to full production is typically 12 to 20 weeks.

What does a TAMP data platform cost?

TAMP data platform pricing reflects the scale and complexity of the deployment—number of custodian connections, advisor relationships, model portfolios, and data sharing configurations. Milemarker's TAMP implementations are priced based on AUM tiers and advisor count. Enterprise TAMPs managing over $10B across hundreds of advisors should plan for implementation investment in the range of $150K to $400K with ongoing annual platform fees. Contact Milemarker for a specific proposal based on your architecture.

How does model performance attribution work across advisor relationships?

The TAMP data platform links each account to its assigned model portfolio, tracks contributions and withdrawals at the account level, and calculates time-weighted and money-weighted returns. Attribution rolls up from individual accounts to model composites, allowing TAMP operators to compare model performance across the advisor network, identify advisors with implementation drift, and produce GIPS-compliant composite returns for each model strategy.

Can the TAMP data platform support white-label reporting for advisors?

Yes. Milemarker's TAMP data platform supports white-labeled advisor dashboards and report templates, allowing each advisor to see their client data presented under their own brand. Snowflake data sharing extends this further by giving technically sophisticated advisors direct query access to their data slice, enabling them to build custom reports and analytics in their BI tool of choice—all from the TAMP's single source of truth.
