Tifin’s wealthtech division, Tifin Wealth, launched the new Tifin Grow platform for advisors, the fintech firm said Tuesday.
The new platform was designed to help wealth managers grow their businesses through personalization at scale, the company said.
Tifin Grow combines several capabilities from Tifin’s existing platform — risk profiling, micro-planning, Financial Personality, Next Best Action and trading automation — with new capabilities and the features can be used by advisors in modular fashion or by combining them, Tifin said.
The modules include: Tifin Risk (offering investment personalization through risk), Tifin Plan (investment personalization through plans), Tifin Personality (investment personalization through financial personality) and Tifin Prioritize (an insights engine to prioritize prospects).
Tifin Grow will “enable financial advisors to better know and convert their prospects,” the company said. The new platform will also offer advisors the ability to prioritize prospects based on Tifin’s centralized data intelligence.
EMoney Advisor Founder Joins YieldX Board
Edmond Walters, the founder of eMoney Advisor and Apprise Labs, has joined the board of advisors at fintech firm YieldX.
Walters will play a key role in building out YieldX’s operations, advising on and helping to “further differentiate the disruptive tools YieldX has brought to market and setting tangible goals for the company’s next evolution,” YieldX said Wednesday.
“With a unique background as both a fintech founder and financial advisor, Walters deeply understands the challenges modern advisors have ahead of them,” YieldX said.
The latest venture by Walters is Villanova Tech, another advisor-facing technology platform that YieldX said provides tools for advisors with business owner clients to gain insights on operational data to help with succession planning.
The new board member addition comes after a year of innovation and growth initiatives at YieldX that included closing on an $18 million Series A funding round and forging strategic partnerships with Envestnet and DriveWealth.
Soon, advisors and wealth managers using Envestnet’s platform will gain one-click access to YieldX Apps that streamline workflows to build and optimize yield portfolios through single sign-on integration, YieldX said.
