How do you document Rollover analysis?
Referencing: "How to Handle the DOL’s New IRA Rollover Rule" by Bob Veres... The article discusses the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) new rule on IRA rollovers, which treats any advisor-recommended rollover from a 401(k) not managed by the advisor to an IRA managed by them as a prohibited transaction unless it is clearly in the client's best interest. It emphasizes the need for advisors to document that the rollover benefits the client, following fiduciary standards under ERISA. The article provides insights from various financial advisors on how they handle these regulations through detailed documentation and client communication. What advisortech have you considered to help with this?

What's the #1 challenge you're facing with your AdvisorTech stack?
One of the last questions on my tech survey, wanted to share the responses and see what solutions we can all come up with: - Integration and fully utilizing our current tech stack. - It's always about the integration between tools - Integration to avoid manual data entry and/or rekeying of data - Knowing that useful tech exists in an area where we could benefit, and having the time to assess such tech - Staying on top of all of the changes. - Integration and fully utilizing our current tech stack. - My crappy custodian, Fidelity Wealthscape is incapable of linking my accounts to Wealthbox, Right Capital, etc. They are the worst. - following up with prospects - Making sure it all works together. - Integrations that are approved by compliance - Too many and getting advisors to use them correctly. - Lack of integration and data silos. - the whole thing... keeping on top of everything while staying focused on manageable priorities Integration is clearly the #1 challenge Fully utilizing Simple awareness of the tech options available Keeping up with changes Advisors, AdvisorTech founders, Operators... what do you suggest?

My Two Satoshi's: Streamlining business processes for advisors with various tech tools available is critical for efficiency and client satisfaction. Client data serves multiple purposes throughout the client-advisor relationship, from onboarding for KYC and compliance to setting up investment accounts with custodians. However, currently, this data is often scattered across different platforms, leading to inefficiencies and potential data discrepancies. To enhance the advisor experience, there should be a central repository for client data, ideally within the CRM. This data should be easily accessible and portable to other tools in the tech stack, ensuring a single source of truth for client information. Additionally, the CRM should support dynamic updates to reflect changes in clients' lives. Advisors should have the ability to aggregate client data within the CRM and generate reports on custom fields dynamically. For instance, generating reports comparing existing client mortgage rates to market rates can present actionable planning opportunities. Furthermore, integrating financial planning apps with CRMs should be seamless, eliminating the need for clients to set up multiple passwords and authentication processes. Simplifying data transfer between these tools would enhance the advisor-client experience and improve workflow efficiency. There's also an opportunity for fintech companies to innovate by empowering virtual note-takers to extract relevant data points during client calls and automatically inputting them into the CRM. This would streamline the data gathering process, enabling advisors to focus on analysis and client interactions rather than administrative tasks. While this vision requires evolution in planning tools and custodian platforms, the industry is moving in that direction, paving the way for a more integrated and efficient advisory process.

While I may speak in the colloquial dialect of "Dude, Bro," I try to keep my formal writing professional and articulate. Plus I've lost thousands of nights sleep obsessing over the advisor and client experience in an effort to just "Do Better" as an evolving industry. That's the roadmap. Plug Into the CRMs. Optimize the data feeds, enhance the reporting so advisors can easily identify opportunities and port these planning opportunities into their planning software or custodian of choice, depending on the clients needs.
Best "all purpose" premium AI offering?
I've tinkered with the free versions of Chat GPT (3.5) and Gemini. I'm curious to see how much better one of the paid offerings is. I won't be using it for any part of the financial advisor, so that's not a concern, but general privacy practices are worth considering. (Note: I searched to see if there's already a thread on this, but didn't see one). And I'm only interested in tools that offer month-to-month pricing.

Depends on your use case. Ruben (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruben-hassid?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app) gives some great analysis, though not specific to the wealth management industry.

Data Points has a rich RTQ that measures a few different risk factors. Plus completed forms automatically plug back to your CRM. Seeds does a good job of helping people through their risk tolerance, investment communication preferences, and values (ultimately generating a customized proposal for their SMA on Altruist). Neither go deep into portfolio analytics but help uncover important investor preferences when engaging with a client for AUM business.
FinMate AI User Guide
Wanted to share that FinMate AI has prepared a user guide - I added to the classroom (available here). Also, with the new t3/Inside Information results in, FinMate didn't make it onto the main list yet, but 16 firms were considering using it. What "Outsource Transcription Service" are you using?
