“The comprehensive, well-organized data from Wealth Access has deepened our client relationships by providing clarity into the details of their financial lives. With the ease of access to this information, we have provided our clients valuable reporting and more efficient, thorough financial planning.”
DAVID S. WADDELL, CFP
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
“Wealth Access gives me a comprehensive, detailed picture of my financial life all on one platform. It is user friendly and enables me to interact effectively with multiple advisors.”
ROBIN STONEHILL
RETIRED NYSE SPECIALIST
PRIVATE INVESTOR
“I believe Wealth Access will revolutionize our industry by providing full transparency and communication between investors and their trusted advisors. We find this especially powerful for multi-generational families with complicated financial pictures.”
“Whether Betterment or Wealthfront survive is irrelevant,” Joel Bruckenstein, of T3 (also attended by Wealth Access) said in his opening remarks at a standing room only session on robos. “The technology is here to stay.”
“The dashboards facilitate decision making by allowing me to view our entire portfolio – both consolidated and by entity – at a glance. Wealth Access aggregates data for us, so we can move our efforts from reconciling statements and entering data to reviewing asset allocation and making investment decisions.”
“Wealth Access is a great addition to our suite of wealth management solutions. It allows us to shift resources away from information gathering and towards more collaboration with our clients and their networks of advisors, resulting in a measurable impact on the quality of service we provide.”
“We partner with Wealth Access as a means to introduce wealth management services to our high net worth clients, and to better understand their comprehensive financial picture.”
Account aggregation tools are plentiful for both individuals and advisors – think Mint.com or Personal Capital. So why does David Benskin think Wealth Access can stand out from the pack?
David Benskin, Wealth Access’ Founder and CEO, was recently profiled discussing how entrepreneurship is reinventing the financial advisor space.
Wealth Access received honorable mention as one of the ‘The 50 Best Fintech Innovators of 2014’.
We were able to showcase our client portal, account aggregation capabilities and multi-generational wealth views, optimized for all mobile devices at this year’s Junxure Conference held in Las Vegas.
Finally, advisers are moving beyond seeing technology as simply tools for back office support.
Innovative high net worth Personal Financial Manager for advisors now reporting on $7 billion, adding $600 million per month.
If you are a high net worth advisor or investor, technology is one of greatest threats to your bottom line over the next five years.
Technology Tools for Today (T3) 2014, which took place February 10-12 at the Anaheim Hilton, showcased a number of such technologies already flooding the market, and even more waiting on the horizon.
The family office experience: “It’s not a product solution – it’s an advisor experience.”
With Wealth Access, advisors are able to collaborate with one another to provide their clients with a virtual family office experience.
Next-generation stewards are comfortable in virtual spaces.
It is hard enough to explain financial basics to the next generation, but it is even harder to instill the subtle principles that lay behind acquired wealth.
For true success in a multiple advisor portfolio, each advisor must have line of sight into assets held away and be given clear directives and focus.
Reporting is all about giving clients clarity and control, David Benskin, founder and chief executive of Wealth Access, tells Family Wealth Report.
One proven way to reduce financial stress is to organize your financial records. A squeaky-clean financial house is a house where stress may find it’s not welcome, experts say.
Advisors understand that the financial services industry is changing rapidly and technology is putting new pressure on their business model. And clients are looking to advisors for more than portfolio management.
Now, more than ever, as tax laws evolve and change, the organization and cohesiveness of an estate plan with proper documentation is critical.
Advisors must recognize that the data they are providing their clients may be too sophisticated for their client and that may also be why clients are so focused on that one number.
Given that only one out of every ten companies achieve the highest possible level of customer service, the vast majority of businesses never reach an elite level.
Wealth Access has released its next-generation platform for HNW investors and their trusted advisors.
Nashville-based Wealth Access is introducing its pioneering online platform, the first private and customizable wealth management platform specifically designed for high net worth investors.
When it comes to individuals with a high net worth, financial professionals say identifying a way to properly organize, track and view investments can be a challenge. David Benskin has launched his own company around the need.
Benskin told VNC that his service allows wealthy individuals and their advisors to compile, manage and understand multi-class ingredients of their portfolios via a “plain-English” performance dashboard.
