With the start of a new year, many successful advisors think about planning for a change, and the transition from a wirehouse model to an independent model is frequently top of mind. For many, this decision is months in the making, as they work through the details to navigate the path forward. But what do breakaway advisors need to think about when it comes to decisions on their tech stack?
At Envestnet | Tamarac®, we understand how much thought needs to go into your decision to form your own business. That’s because we’ve been supporting RIAs for more than 20 years, with much of our expertise dedicated to helping breakaway advisors get up and running. We are committed to helping you on the journey to independence with guidance and best practices, state-of-the-art tech tools, and competitive pricing options.
Here are three reasons why breakaway advisors choose the Envestnet | Tamarac technology platform to support the entirety of their clients’ financial needs — in a way that allows them to get their business up-and-running as quickly as possible.
1. Manage day-to-day business operations with a deeply integrated platform
Tamarac offers breakaway advisors a modular, open-architecture experience to help run their business with greater efficiency and scale. For starters, we work with all the top custodians to ensure a seamless experience. Many successful breakaway firms find that our tools are best used in the full-suite iteration. Here’s a closer look at Tamarac Reporting, Tamarac Trading, and Tamarac CRM. With a well-designed tech stack configured to your needs, you can drive your business forward and connect more deeply with your clients.
- Tamarac Reporting. Our award-winning reporting capabilities enable your firm to easily generate elegant reports focused on what matters the most to you and your clients. As the central location for your clients’ assets, we provide advisor, operations, and client portals with interactive and up-to-date data, accessible from anywhere.
- Tamarac Trading. With our premier portfolio rebalancing and trading application, you can build scale by implementing your best thinking across your entire client base, both quickly and efficiently.
- Tamarac CRM. Our hub for client data is built as a firm-level cloud-based application explicitly designed for RIAs. Because the CRM is integrated with a broad range of data resources, it can provide a differentiated experience.
