CHICAGO, Aug. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Envestnet has
rolled out updates to the new version of its Recommendations
Engine, allowing financial advisors at enterprise organizations and
Registered Investment Advisers (RIAs) to further optimize client
advice and engagement using data from across Envestnet's financial
wellness ecosystem.
The Recommendations Engine smartly sifts through consumer and
industry data throughout the Envestnet platform, as well as data
connectors such as Envestnet | MoneyGuide and Salesforce. The
engine's findings power the "Opportunities to Engage" dashboard,
which suggests actionable steps that advisors can take based on a
client's unique profile created by machine learning. These timely
and relevant data-driven recommendations for engaging clients are
presented in a comprehensive, streamlined format.
For example, the Recommendations Engine can flag when a
retirement date or other lifecycle event is coming up for a
specific client. Similarly, the Engine's "Opportunities to Engage"
dashboard can show advisors which clients have unusually high
levels of cash, surfacing data points that highlight opportunities
for advisors to meaningfully engage with their clients.
Envestnet Analytics can connect to additional data sources in a
variety of formats, and push that data to customer relationship
management (CRM) systems like Salesforce and, soon, Microsoft
Dynamics—enabling advisors to directly view and choose whether or
not to act on recommendations from that data in their current
systems.
"By culling more and more intelligence in our data to help
advisors proactively address the needs of individual clients in
real time, the Recommendations Engine serves as an essential
component of The Intelligent Financial Life™," said
Todd Buck, Managing Director and
Head of Business Development at Envestnet Analytics. "We
continue to implement updates to the Recommendations Engine to give
advisors greater insight for discovering opportunities to serve
clients more effectively and efficiently."
Envestnet's most recent updates to the Recommendations Engine
include:
- Planning Analytics—Through single-sign-on access to the
Recommendations Engine in MoneyGuide, RIAs that utilize the
MoneyGuide financial planning solution can receive advisor-level,
data-driven recommendations for helping clients adhere to their
plans. These recommendations, available to MoneyGuide users that
might not utilize Envestnet | Tamarac, are presented in the
"Opportunities to Engage" dashboard. In addition, advisors can
uncover analytics from MyBlocksSM and MoneyGuide's
Client Portal.
- Annuity Insights & Strategies—Through a data
connection with Fiduciary Exchange, LLC (FIDx), the Recommendations
Engine brings advisors actionable insights to benefit their clients
using annuities. Intuitive dashboards help advisors target specific
opportunities within their books while giving home offices a view
of firm-wide opportunities. The Recommendations Engine can show
advisors:
-
- When an annuity has reached maturity.
- When the client may benefit by converting a commission-based
annuity to a fee-based annuity.
- When the client can receive more value from new features
offered by carriers.
The Recommendations Engine can also help advisors bring a more
holistic strategy to their clients by addressing needs—such as
income, wealth protection and taxes—that annuities are uniquely
designed to tackle.
"An advisor's book of business can include hundreds of clients,
so a powerful, differentiated engine like ours is crucial for
identifying opportunities to engage individual clients, and
communicating the possible courses of action to take," said Mr.
Buck. "Envestnet's data and analytics provide the blueprints
for how advisors can bring all the pieces together for households,
and use these connections to engage with clients at a higher
level."
