If you create an account on Personal Capital, expect constant phone calls to your house phone, your smart phone, emails…in other words, prepare to be bombarded.
Ryan, I use the free Personal Capital software and receive infrequent calls. In fact no more than a few times per year. And when I explain that I manage my own investments, they are quite courteous. I really appreciate the free software and think an occasional phone call from the company is a tiny price to pay for this free software.
Hi Curtis, How do you like Personal Capital? Do you find it helpful? I suppose not all investors receive a phone call. I assume that only those eligible for the paid Personal Capital Advisors will be contacted. I just started a Personal Capital account to check them out. Lots of folks in the personal finance blogging space use them. I never hear bloggers talk about that part.
I agree with you, Barbara. Having this kind of software for free is worth a few contacts. I wanted to see how Personal Capital stacked up on that side. I do, however, want to recommend services like this for people who want to do it themselves. I love the free Personal Capital software. I have our entire family portfolio linked and the reports and features are wonderful. Yes, I receive regular calls from a Personal Capital financial advisor. Since I manage our own investments, I do not use their paid service.
What was the name of an online financial management tool that was discontinued 2 or more years ago? I really like Personal Capital,and also use Quicken. NonK — Review a portfolio and make suggestions of securities that might be a better investment. For your security research. That is a difficult question, as individual security selection requires study and analysis.
If you enjoy researching and studying individual securities, then you need to devote time to learn this process. If seems to be a really misleading strategy suggestion to direct people into traditional IRAs and Ks without any warning about the future tax rates gotcha.
You can probably get the gist by now and I just did not see any modeling software descriptions in your top-7 which seemed like they would help in this modeling any better than what one can do in EXCEL. Please let me know if I am wrong. Hi Steve, You raise a really good and often neglected point. The reality of future tax rates could be a major problem for wealtlhier investors.

Regards, Barbara. Do any of the above portfolio tools allow for hypothetical portfolios that include historical data? If I want to construct a proposed portfolio for a client I too am a financial advisor and show them the historical performance, can this software accomplish this?

Additional functionality that some vendors have added beyond this table stakes list includes CRM, proposal generation, billing, financial planning, client portals, and compliance tools, to name a few. I expect the table stakes list to keep growing as vendors struggle to differentiate over the feature list the competition is also trying to keep up with, and clients demand more functionality be integrated into the platforms.
Why are there so many all-in-one platforms? The bottom line is that there is no one right or wrong answer. Of course, even the most all-in-one-oriented vendor has integrations to other applications as well. But they also see the value in having more and more parts of the wealth management life cycle inside their walls. Advisor experience is becoming more important for firms as well when they make decisions about software. Having a seamless workflow and the ability to pass both relevant data and actual tasks and workflow automations from module to module is a key part of that.
While the advancing API Economy has made it easier to share data between applications , it's still not a cakewalk and requires a strong internal technology team to configure the connections and interface with the different vendors. I know this because a segment of our consulting business is focused on helping broker-dealers, banks, and asset managers to actually integrate software products that claim to offer seamless integration! I tell all of our clients to forget everything the salespeople told you about how well their application integrates with other vendors, and plan on starting from scratch.
These vendor promises have been a boon for consultants like us , but not so great for wealth management firms looking for quick and easy solutions. In other words, even All-In-One solutions have a long way to go to truly be turnkey off the shelf and Best-Of-Breed approaches just guarantee the integration work that in practice All-In-Ones often end out requiring anyway.
The number of solutions in the category of Portfolio Management Systems for financial advisors keeps growing every year, with seemingly no end in sight. It's a veritable cornucopia of options. Every year I say that we've got enough vendors in this space, and we're ripe for massive consolidation. And then even more new products appear! I sometimes wonder how all of these vendors can make enough profit to stay in business?
The total addressable market is finite. The potential revenue opportunity is finite. Thus, here we are with two score and ten solutions all vying for attention in an ever-more crowded marketplace. In fact, by our count, there are currently 50 vendors selling advisor technology platforms in the wealth management space:.
This is a mix of every vendor, no matter which client segment they serve. Some of these products focus only on RIAs, some on enterprises like broker-dealers, asset managers, and RIA consolidators, some focus on trust business, and some are provided by custodians. Still, the list shows the sheer breadth of products that have crowded into this market and the fact that many have narrowed into a sub-segment or channel of advisors just emphasizes the challenging need to differentiate in such a crowded marketplace!
This will probably be changing at some point as Jemstep's parent company, Invesco , just acquired RedBlack rebalancing, which they will most likely integrated with Jemstep to create their own complete solution.
As I mentioned earlier, the market for advisor platforms is finite. So, we have a large group of vendors fighting over the same pool of relatively few customers… roughly 2, mid-to-large-sized RIAs and about mid-to-large-sized broker-dealers plus some banks and trust companies. And yet, more vendors keep arriving.
That's high for a single vendor and makes them a target for firms like D1g1t. But can they convince enough firms to switch? It's an expensive proposition for financial advisors to convert their platforms, for a number of reasons:. Reed Colley, founder of BlackDiamond, announced at the recent T3 advisor technology conference that he was starting a new company called Summit Wealth Systems to get back in the game. When I spoke to him at the T3 Advisor conference in February, he was planning to have a demo ready around now, but I'm guessing the crisis has thrown a wrench into his plans.
Still, does the industry need another platform when there are so many options? Where is the value added? We rarely saw overlap between the segments since the needs of their advisors were so different. Firms like Charles River, Envestnet, Vestmark, and Tegra formerly Fiserv Investment Services were the dominant players for asset managers, broker-dealers, and banks. Yet today, this is another trend where everyone is trying to get into everyone else's space.
Firms targeting RIAs want to sell to enterprise, but the consolidation and crowding out of enterprises also means a newfound desire of enterprise solutions to shift into the RIA channel, believing that there is greenfield for them in the other segment.
This is sometimes the case if a vendor can create a unique offering that leapfrogs the competition. But this only lasts a short while until everyone catches up. I was always a fan of what Joe Duran did with United Capital, and especially the custom development they did to build out the proprietary onboarding solutions GuideCenter and Money Mind.
I don't know why more firms don't try to copy this. Onboarding is usually the first interaction that clients have with a wealth management firm's technology. Designing an engaging and collaborative experience builds bonds with new clients, and creates a solid foundation for future relationship growth. UC used Envestnet for portfolio management, but Carson Group went in a different direction.
Advisors can still access the underlying tools, but the Carson UI is so intuitive and well-designed, there is only a small subset of functionality that they'd need to directly access those applications. Very impressive. But I digress again.
