Celebrating its tenth year in September, the Wealthies recognize top companies, individuals, and organizations dedicated to supporting financial advisor success. Envestnet has been named a finalist this year for the following innovations, reinforcing the holistic solutions and platform it delivers for financial advisors:

Quantitative Portfolios (CATEGORY: Direct Indexing for Asset Managers): Envestnet’s Quantitative Portfolios (QPs) are its internally managed direct indexing solutions for advisors available on its platform. QRG Capital Management, Inc., an Envestnet subsidiary, drives the QPs with its research framework, construction techniques, and portfolio management experience. Over the past three years, Envestnet’s QPs offerings have grown by 40% annually in accounts and advisors. Since its launch in 2013, direct indexing has become the most popular separate account strategy across the Envestnet ecosystem.

Access to Annuities via the Insurance Exchange (CATEGORY: Insurance): The Envestnet Insurance Exchange, powered by Fiduciary Exchange, LLC (FIDx), gives access to many types of annuities, enabling advisors to deliver fully integrated advice through Envestnet’s ecosystem. It provides end-to-end management of annuity solutions through the Envestnet platform so that advisors can seamlessly plan, research, propose, open, and actively manage annuities from leading carriers. A prominent registered investment adviser began using the Envestnet Insurance Exchange in 2022 and created a proprietary advisory annuity for its advisors. Since then, they’ve expanded the use of the platform to include more than 600 active advisors, with an average of 22 new users each month.

Retire Complete (CATEGORY: 401(k) Technology for Retirement Plan Support and Advisor Services): In November 2023, Envestnet deepened its relationship with Empower to launch Retire Complete, a turnkey digital 401(k) solution offering retirement plan sponsors access to high-quality plans within minutes. Envestnet Retire Complete can support advisors and their business owner clients in the retirement market, combining Envestnet’s fiduciary guidance and investment due diligence with Empower’s personalized communications and investments, to help more employers provide competitive 401(k) plans. This solution creates an opportunity for advisors to help businesses deliver value to their employees—while helping to address fiduciary concerns and service challenges associated with running a retirement plan, enabling more organizations to offer a competitive benefits package for attracting and retaining top talent.
