“Envestnet is honored by this recognition, which reflects our unwavering commitment to empowering financial advisors through our integrated wealth management platform. Our nominations across diverse categories underscore the breadth and innovation of the Envestnet ecosystem,” said Molly Weiss, Group President, Wealth Management Platform, Envestnet. “We’re also excited that Advisor Credit Exchange, which powers the Envestnet Credit Exchange, is a finalist in two categories, recognized for its innovation in enabling financial advisors to seamlessly manage clients’ cash and credit alongside investments.”

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.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

To learn more about HumanView, visit leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

About LEAP Group
LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
