RED BANK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cy, a revolutionary financial advisor-assisted robo advisory platform, today announced that it has been selected as a finalist for the “Risk Tolerance/Client Profiling” category of the 7th Annual WealthManagement.com Industry Awards (the “Wealthies”) conducted by WealthManagement.com, the leading resource for wealth advisors and planners.
Built by WBI-affiliated software development firm CyborgTech LLC, Cy is an enterprise-grade robo advisory platform that pairs human financial advice with machine-optimized portfolios. Cy’s streamlined client profiling quickly helps an advisor develop client benchmarks for required rate of return and loss tolerance. A powerful, quantitative engine that can screen the full universe of mutual funds, ETFs, UCITs, and separately managed accounts to build personalized machine-optimized portfolios that seek consistent performance through full market cycles. The platform also features customized proposals, illustrates income withdrawals, electronic account onboarding via DocuSign, BlackDiamond reporting, billing and back-office support.
The “Wealthies”, WealthManagement.com’s annual awards, honor individuals, organizations, and companies that help financial advisors build better businesses and seek to create better outcomes for their clients. The 2021 Wealthies program attracted more than 900 entries from 346 different companies.
“Instead of an esoteric battery of questions that the industry often uses, Cy’s loss simulator cuts straight to the heart of every client’s concern — losing too much capital,” said Matt Schreiber, Chief Executive Officer, CyborgTech and Co-CEO of WBI. “We are honored for the recognition from WealthManagement.com, and we are extremely proud to be 2021 Wealthies finalists.”
Cy was previously named a Wealthies Finalist in 2020 and named the FinTech Breakthrough Best Robo Advisory Platform in 2021.
This is the fourth year that WBI and its affiliates have been Wealthies finalists.
The Wealthies awards ceremony will be held in person in New York City on Sept. 9.
