US-Based Envestnet Links Up With Schwab For Advisor Service
New York-listed
Envestnet, a provider of technology-enabled wealth management
solutions, has linked up with
Schwab Intelligent Technologies
to provide an integrated data and reporting solution for advisors
using
Schwab OpenView GateWay and Envestnet's Advisor Xi Suite.
Advisors will have access to real time custodial data from
Tamarac's
performance reporting and billing application, Advisor View, as
well as
Advisor CRM - its client relationship management system.
Seattle,
WA-based Tamarac is a provider of portfolio management technology
for
RIAs which was acquired by Envestent in May of this year.
Stuart DePina, group president of Envestnet, said the
integtration
allows advisors and their clients to spend less time searching
for
information, as custodial information available includes
account and
contact information, balance data, alerts, and reports such
as
statements, tax documents and trade confirmations.
In a separate move, Envestnet is also joining forces with
Junxure Cloud,
the upcoming web-based CRM program for financial advisors,
effective as
of the official launch of the latter firm - expected in the
first
quarter of 2013.
With this integration, Junxure clients will have direct access to
the
Envestnet Advisor Suite portfolio management platform, which
combines
portfolio management with client record-keeping and workflow
management.
Junxure was established in 2001 by Ken Golding and Greg Friedman.
As
well as president of Junxure, Friedman is also president of
Private
Ocean, a wealth management firm on the West Coast.
