NEW YORK, January 31, 2019 –
AdvisorEngine, the financial experience company that provides a digital wealth management platform for financial advisors and their clients, today announced the production rollout of its expansive integration with BNY Mellon's Pershing ("Pershing"). The integration will enable broker-dealers and RIAs that custody with Pershing to take advantage of AdvisorEngine technology.
"Forward-thinking firms are adopting new technology to deliver a modern client experience, drive growth, and achieve increased profitability," said AdvisorEngine Founder and CEO Rich Cancro. "These outcomes wouldn't be possible without deep custodian integrations. Pershing offers an exciting combination of access to premier clients and an ecosystem that enables AdvisorEngine and Pershing to work together to enhance operational scalability for advisors."
"Advisory firms need diverse, customizable technology solutions to build their optimal client experience," added Christina Townsend, Director and Head of Advisor Solutions Platform Strategy at BNY Mellon's Pershing. "By opening our platform and deepening our integrations with modern, comprehensive providers like AdvisorEngine, we are providing advisors increased flexibility and choice to build the experience that will best advance their business goals."
Financial firms that custody with Pershing can access full AdvisorEngine functionality without the need to manually input data or navigate between the two platforms. Available modules include prospecting tools, client proposals, risk questionnaires, digital onboarding, cash transfers, account opening across various account types, goals-based financial planning tools, client portal, portfolio rebalancing and trading tools, document management, compliance tools, and fee billing. By bringing together data in one place and automating the key pain-points of advisory firms, AdvisorEngine and Pershing are simplifying how firms do business.
The integration also includes "One Brand, Many Brands" functionality – allowing home offices to easily manage firm branding and advisor branding of client-facing technology. Additionally, financial institutions can use AdvisorEngine's fee billing engine to implement custom billing arrangements across different offices, households, client types and fee schedules.
