Minneapolis, MN

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services today announced that Integrated Investment Services, Inc., a member of Western & Southern Financial Group®, has adopted GainsKeeper® FundTax™, an automated tax lot service, to automate wash sale calculations for select mutual fund clients.

Calculating wash sales can be a time-consuming process and particularly complicated for fund administrators, who must calculate and verify loss deferrals and basis adjustments in order to generate accurate fund distributions. FundTax, the only tax lot accounting service with fully-automated wash sales, helps fund companies and third-party processors simplify the audit process and eliminate manual tracking of wash sales adjustments.

"Wash sale calculations can be complicated and labor-intensive, and can become an overwhelming task for fund services providers," said Chuck Ross, general manager of GainsKeeper. "FundTax relieves financial institutions from manually tracking wash sales while increasing efficiency and accuracy."

"FundTax expedites the wash sale calculation process, which is critical during excise season," said Steve McCabe, vice president, Integrated Investment Services. "By reducing the need for manual calculations, we're able to dedicate more of our time and resources to our clients."

Integrated successfully implemented FundTax this quarter.
