LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--InvestCloud, a global provider of wealth and asset management solutions, announced a partnership with Buckingham Strategic Wealth and Buckingham Strategic Partners (“Buckingham”), SEC-registered investment firms, to transform their financial advisor experience. With InvestCloud’s Advisor Experience, Buckingham advisors will benefit from differentiated digital capabilities, including the seamless integration of multiple systems, that will drive dramatic increases in advisor productivity and elevate the experience they deliver for clients.
Supporting Buckingham in managing or administering more than $70 billion of collective assets (as of March 31, 2024), the Advisor Experience from InvestCloud takes the advisor out of the business of managing administrative operations and into the role of advising clients and engaging in greater value-add opportunities. With cloud-native, modular technology, InvestCloud brings together multiple and disparate systems and data sources, such as CRM and financial planning, in a single, integrated dashboard, enabling advisors to access all the information they need to efficiently respond to a client’s request, review and execute scenario-planning and prepare for client meetings. This means advisors will be able to spend more time interacting and collaborating seamlessly with their clients, and less time navigating through and toggling between various data sources and systems of record. The new Advisor Experience is highly configurable, which allows Buckingham to tailor a differentiated advisor experience that capitalizes on their unique advice philosophy.
“We’re excited about the opportunity to help Buckingham transform their advisor experience,” said Kapin Vora, President, Digital Wealth North America at InvestCloud. “Partnering with one of the largest RIAs in the country is a strong proof point of the integrated advisor experience we have architected to increase advisor efficiency, enable a seamless digital experience, and ultimately deliver greater value for our clients.”
Until now, servicing clients required advisors to log in to more than half a dozen applications to gather the various data points and information they need for a client. Multiply that by multiple clients and the amount of time advisors spend on these actions results in a significant drain on productivity. InvestCloud’s Advisor Experience provides Buckingham advisors with the flexibility and productivity they need to engage more efficiently and better serve their clients through advanced features such as proactive and reactive alerting, easy access to multiple data sources, including CRM, portfolio, and financial planning data, as well as effective data visualization and secure messaging via alerts and email—all accessible from a single, integrated dashboard for advisors.
“One of our top priorities is to enhance the digital experience we deliver for our advisors, and in particular, time-saving capabilities that will enable them to best serve their clients,” said Adam Birenbaum, Chief Executive Officer of Buckingham Strategic Wealth and Buckingham Strategic Partners. “We’re excited about our partnership with InvestCloud. The early feedback is extremely positive, and we look forward to continued enhancements that will further enable high-quality and seamless advisor experiences.”
This is the first step in a multi-phase partnership with Buckingham. InvestCloud will deliver additional enhancements, including a new client experience that caters to multiple client personas, as well as a new prospect experience, scheduled over the next year.
