Independent Financial Partners (IFP), an SEC-registered investment advisor and broker-dealer specializing in wealth management and retirement plan consulting, announced today the launch of a digital wealth management platform for its financial professionals by partnering with AdvisorEngine®, the financial experience company.
The new platform is live beginning today, and available to advisors who custody with BNY Mellon’s Pershing.
“AdvisorEngine gives our advisors a way to deliver personalized service at scale, across wealth levels and generations,” said IFP’s Chief Investment Officer, Aaron Gilman. “Each IFP advisor can deliver a modern client experience using his or her own branding, combined with IFP’s models and investment philosophies – a combination not available through other providers.”
The offering is designed to power a modern wealth management business – including functionality for financial professionals and clients. Features include proposal generation, paperless onboarding, risk-questionnaires, model management tools, portfolio reporting and rebalancing tools, fee billing, compliance tools and a client portal. Unique to the technology is the ability for each IFP advisor to brand and customize the client experience.
Some of IFP’s advisors are scheduled to adopt the platform as a holistic technology stack, while other advisors will use the capabilities to better serve a specific client segment.
“The IFP leadership team is focused on empowering their advisors to grow and scale” said AdvisorEngine Chief Growth Officer, John Tyers. “We have taken great care together to design a modern experience that reinforces the value that IFP advisors bring to their clients every day.”
