The Platform

Built Around Process.
Not Just Data.

Every other tool gives you access to information. Buckler gives you a workflow — one that mirrors how a diligent advisor actually thinks, from initial screening to final recommendation. Continuous monitoring, alerts, and due diligence work together in one system, backed by an intuitive interface, reporting, analytics, and market research — built for advisors, the way advisors actually work.

Buckler IDD platform
How It Works

From market data to a documented review.

Buckler ingests commercial market data feeds — Canadian and US stocks, Canadian and US ETFs, and Canadian mutual funds — directly from commercial data vendors. That data is normalized and structured into a single dataset built for rapid recall, so the platform can pull in whatever's relevant the moment it's needed.

Every feed is validated against historical data, and additional datasets — risk, ESG, internal research — can be layered in as a firm needs them. Once the data is loaded, monitoring begins. The process breaks down into three categories: monitoring, alerts, and due diligence.

Market data for every mutual fund, equity, and ETF runs through the trigger engine, which checks it against the advisor's book. The trigger engine scores what it finds into one of three severities — and each severity carries its own action.

Monitoring

Market data is loaded into the trigger engine daily and checked against every trigger in the system. When a security fires a trigger, that result is passed into the advisor's book, which becomes the reference point — any security in the book that meets the threshold generates an alert, captured in the application the moment the advisor logs in.

Alerts follow different closeout processes depending on severity: SEV1 generates a due diligence review, SEV2 requires notes before it can be closed, and SEV3 is optional — a need-to-know rather than an action item. Every alert and review is captured in the review record for audit, and every alert is tracked and accounted for.

Alerts

Alerts can be defined and configured at three levels — firm, advisor, and security. At the firm level, default triggers and alerts apply automatically to every advisor's book and every security, covering the highest-critical cases. At the advisor level, advisors can configure alerts across their entire book or narrow them to specific asset classes, security types, sectors, or categories, choosing whether or not each one generates an alert. At the security level, advisors can set alerts for an individual holding.

Every trigger also carries a predefined cooldown period, so a breached trigger doesn't fire again immediately — a security that trips a 5% price decline resets after seven days, while a mutual fund moving from the first quartile to the second carries a quarterly cooldown. All cooldown periods are configurable at the firm level.

Due Diligence

A due diligence review is full documentation captured at a point in time — a snapshot of an individual security (an ETF, mutual fund, or equity position) built from components the AI aggregates and captures automatically, generated as an auditable PDF for the advisor. It's efficient, accurate, and delivers everything required for review far faster than manual methods.

Every security in the advisor's book gets the same consistently formatted, current review, and advisors can add their own notes and pull in additional content — research notes, and the full record of everything generated on that security. Firm-level supervision has real-time access to the same reviews, tracking the due diligence process across every advisor in the firm.

01
Investment Profile
All the fundamental data for an investment or individual security, including performance, risk, cost, financials, scoring, and historical data.
02
Monitoring
All available metrics monitored for a security, whether or not an alert is attached to them — tracked historically and displayed on a single screen to show overall monitoring and how a specific metric changes over time.
03
Investment Comparisons
A group of peers for the individual security — similar securities in the same category and sector that are directly comparable — providing a benchmark to measure it against.
Supervision

At the firm level, supervision screens let management and compliance teams monitor advisors across the firm — ensuring alerts are being actioned and a consistent due diligence process is being followed.

The platform also lets firms monitor the entire product shelf the same way an advisor monitors a book, using alerts to continuously oversee the enterprise-level book of business.

01
Alert Oversight
Monitor how every advisor is actioning alerts generated from their book, and generate alerts directly at the head-office level.
02
Enterprise Analytics
Run analytics across the entire firm's book of business to understand concentration risk and total exposure to specific securities.
03

Beyond Monitoring

Book of Business Management

Buckler was designed to let advisors monitor and manage their entire book of business. Additional capabilities let advisors focus on managing clients, rather than struggling to figure out what's in their book.

01
Book Analytics
A top-down view of the advisor's book: which fund companies hold the largest share of assets, which securities and sectors are underperforming and why, how the book has changed over time, total exposure to a specific security — held directly or embedded in a mutual fund or ETF — net fund flows, and tools to understand the book's structure, risk, and cost in aggregate.
02
Models
Advisors build, maintain, and test model portfolios, comparing them against client portfolios and firm-developed models — with triggers and alerts on asset allocation drift, sector drift, correlation, volatility, and declining performance, and the model treated as a managed security with direct on-screen editing.
03
Markets
A full dataset of every mutual fund, ETF, and equity — principal-protected notes coming — with in-depth research, screening, filtering, and drill-down analytics on any security, plus custom quantitative screens that update continuously against the advisor's own criteria.
04
Ask AI
An AI research assistant for querying the data directly — top performers and comparisons, screening for securities that meet specific criteria, and general questions about markets, data, and securities in the database.
Architecture

Data, compliance, and AI — as one system.

Buckler is built in three integrated layers, each hardened for the specific demands of regulated financial advice.

01
Data Layer
Institutional-grade market data, normalized and current — detailed data for mutual funds, ETFs, and equities, real-time and historical, fundamentals, performance and analytics, balance sheets, income statements and cash flows, benchmarks, indexes, and composites. No spreadsheets. No data entry. No gaps.
02
Compliance Layer
Compliance isn't a feature — it's the foundation. Built for regulators before it was built for advisors: fully documented peer group methodology, disclosed scoring rationale, audit trails on every review and change, monitoring alerts for material drift, and firm-level controls and user permissions.
03
AI Engine
Not a generic LLM — purpose-built for investment due diligence, with guardrails designed for regulated use: AI-generated peer groups with disclosed criteria, the Buckler Score, advisor-reviewed narrative drafting, natural language screening across the universe, and outputs grounded in verified data, with no hallucinations.
