Advyzon Investment Management (AIM), a turnkey asset management program (TAMP) under the umbrella of comprehensive technology platform Advyzon, recently announced a partnership with Nebo Wealth, an award-winning asset allocation and portfolio design platform from global asset manager Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co., LLC (GMO). AIM now powers and serves as a turnkey platform for Nebo Wealth, an end-to-end solution that enables Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) to streamline and automate the process of delivering personalized portfolios for each and every client at scale.
“We were so excited to have the opportunity to serve as a foundational component for Nebo Wealth and help bring their turnkey platform to life,” said Lee Andreatta, CEO of AIM. “Our technology was designed to make advisors’ lives easier, and we’re happy to bring the capabilities of Advyzon to Nebo and Advyzon advisors alike.”
AIM extends the capabilities of the Nebo Wealth platform into a turnkey, technology-driven solution by including automated trading and rebalancing, performance reporting, billing, and advisor and client portals, as well as back-office support for account opening and administration. All of this empowers RIA firms to enhance client service, differentiate their value proposition, save time, drive operational efficiency, and foster growth in assets under management.
NEEDS-BASED OPTIMIZATION = GOALS-BASED WEALTH MANAGEMENT
At the heart of Nebo Wealth’s framework is a proprietary multi-period, shortfall optimization engine that constructs portfolios designed to maximize the likelihood of achieving client goals. Nebo Wealth’s pioneering portfolio construction engine redefines risk – not as volatility, but as “not having what you need, when you need it” – empowering RIAs to directly align their clients’ financial plans with their investments. This results in portfolios that are better customized to the needs and circumstances of each client – all delivered through an open-architecture, technology-driven platform.
While the industry has made great strides in personalizing portfolios at the implementation level, (e.g., with custom indexing and tax management), Nebo Wealth brings personalization to the level of the whole portfolio, delivering client-specific asset allocation within the context of portfolio design customized to the investment philosophy of the advisory firm. The result is the ability to create truly personalized portfolios for each client that reflect the client’s unique needs and circumstances with no more work than it takes to manage traditional model portfolios.
“Nebo Wealth represents a leap forward in goals-based wealth management and the future of personalized portfolios,” said Martin Tarlie, Product Lead at Nebo Wealth. “The early-adopter Nebo advisors are having great success with personalizing client portfolios that seek to minimize the risk that matters most to the client. However, many of these early adopters have been asking for an end-to-end solution to better streamline and automate the entire process, especially trading and rebalancing – that’s where Advyzon comes in.”
AIM EMPOWERS ADVISORS TO WORK ON THEIR BUSINESS, NOT IN IT
Advyzon Investment Management, which launched in March of 2022, was created to allow financial advisors to be more efficient via a better integrated user experience by providing TAMP services conveniently within Advyzon’s single source code platform. AIM’s managed portfolio solutions and high touch service model allow advisors to achieve operational efficiencies along with comprehensive investment selection and modeling, while empowering them to work on their business, not in it.
Advyzon’s cloud-based platform for financial advisors combines portfolio management, customizable performance reporting, trading and rebalancing, client web portals, client relationship management (CRM), client billing, and document storage – plus a model marketplace with access to third party strategists and/or turnkey asset management via AIM. This comprehensive solution makes it easy for advisors to run their financial planning and investment advisory firms while managing their client accounts with efficiency and ease. Advyzon is currently serving over 1,500 advisory firms.
AIM offers risk-based models including active/passive mutual funds and ETFs, a tax-sensitive ETF only solution, an ESG active/passive model, an alternative model, and direct indexing, as well as tools and methodologies around tax optimization and tax loss harvesting. The firm has continued to build out additional investment products around all of these core offerings, as well as offer new strategies, as they’ve evolved over the course of their first couple of years in business.
In addition to their investment offering, AIM provides a personalized service model to advisors based on their philosophy of insourcing versus outsourcing. AIM’s service team members are personally assigned to individual advisors and take the time to truly understand their businesses, helping with the heavy lifting on the whole lifecycle of an account including account opening, billing, reporting, trading, data reconciliation, and acting as a custodial liaison.
