The winners of the 15th annual Envestnet | PMC & Investment Advisor Asset Manager Awards received honors Wednesday during the 2019 Envestnet Advisor Summit in Austin, Texas, which featured keynote speakers Gen. Colin Powell and popular advisor and blogger Michael Kitces.

“We extend our congratulations to Frontier [Asset Management] and the other winners who are truly raising the bar for managers in their respective categories,” according to Tim Clift, Chief Investment Strategist of Envestnet | PMC, Envestnet’s Portfolio Management Consultants group.

To be nominated as a finalist, the asset managers must have a management team with at least three years of experience leading a portfolio with $200 million or more in assets available to advisors on Envestnet’s platform.

“The strategies and products from this year’s award winners exemplify sound, forward-looking investment management, particularly in the volatile market we’ve seen, and they further demonstrate that active management shines,” Clift explained.
