Thank you for your interest in Estate Valuations & Pricing Systems’ EVP Upload! EVP Upload is a batch-processing service that allows portfolio files in any format to quickly and easily add evaluations for millions of different securities for estate and gift tax purposes. More information is available at https://batch.evpsys.com.
EVP Systems’ EVP Upload shares its pricing engine with the industry-leading EstateVal, but mass processes uploaded files, adding pricing to them before they are downloaded.
EVP Upload charges per security successfully evaluated. There are no account set-up fees or monthly minimums.
| Evaluation | Domestic | Foreign |
|---|---|---|
| Date of Death | $2.40 | $6.00 |
| Alternate Date | $2.40 | $6.00 |
| Distribution Date | $1.30 | $4.90 |
| Appraisal Date | $1.10 | $4.70 |
| Research | $1.10 | — |
All prices are per security evaluated. All Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) evaluations have a flat fee of $6.00. American Depository Receipts (ADRs) are priced as domestic securities.
Discounts are applied at the end of each month, and are based upon the total usage across an entire firm. Each individual account within the firm receives an invoice with the firm’s discount rate applied.
| Bill | Discount |

| $0.00 - $1,000.00 | — |

Invoices are sent at the start of the month, for charges incurred the previous month, either via the post or e-mail. An account may have its EVP Upload access shut down if payment falls too far in arrears.

EVP Upload can perform evaluations with just a security identifier and evaluation date, requiring no personally identifiable information (PII) or sensitive personal information (SPI) for decedents. However, to manage full portfolios via the service, lot sizes must also be included. Decedent names and account numbers can also be sent, at the user’s discretion. Depending on the file-transfer protocol used, all data can be encrypted in transit, and it is all encryupted at rest, protected by private keys or high-complexity passwords. EVP Systems employees with access to the data are limited to technical administrative staff.
