Betterment for Advisors

Betterment for Advisors

Our mission: Betterment for Advisors is a leading digital-first wealth management platform and our mission has always been to build a better investment experience for you and your clients. We’re dedicated to helping advisors streamline their everyday business so that they can focus more on what matters most—building deeper client relationships. By combining our technology with an advisor's personal touch, we are reimagining what's possible in wealth management.

How we help advisors: Betterment for Advisors is an all-in-one technology platform that can help advisors of any size streamline portfolio management and direct their services in a more cost-effective way. We offer automated, tax-efficient management tools across a range of advisor-driven and pre-built portfolios, so you can leverage our solution with your own models or choose from a curated list of available models from leading model managers—whatever best suits your firm's needs.

But it’s not just about outsourcing routine tasks. When automation is used in conjunction with our paperless back office and intuitive user experience, it can help firms serve a new client segment: the next generation of investors seeking advice. There is a pipeline of potential clients who are just starting to make money and want to save in a smart way, but may not know where to start. By making it simple to open accounts, transfer money from other custodians, deposit money, and link a bank account, our technology can help you connect with prospects in the accumulation stage—who are often younger and expect a really seamless experience—in a way that’s operationally efficient for you and attractive to them. It's a win-win.

Canvilytics LLC

TaxCast

Our mission: We believe the positive effects financial advisors have on the lives of their clients cannot be overstated. Advisors help clients identify possibilities, clarify choices, avoid preventable mistakes, and remain accountable to their own plans. We seek to provide those advisors with innovative and engaging tools to deepen the relationships required to provide such advice.

How we help advisors: Financial advisors are uniquely positioned to assist clients in forecasting future tax liabilities – a significant cash depletion source in most budgets. Unfortunately, most tax forecasting tools are alternatively overcomplicated or oversimplified. The overcomplicated tools can dangerously stretch the expertise of advisors and the attention spans of clients. The oversimplified tools preclude robust planning. TaxCast™ is the solution for those advisors who want to provide the type of distinguishing, comprehensive advice that makes them attractive to prospects and clients.

Why XYPN LIVE attendees should stop by our booth: Advisors have historically earned the bulk of their compensation when clients moved investments to be managed by those advisors. Recently, a variety of factors have converged to compress AUM fees throughout the investment industry. XYPN is at the forefront of helping advisors implement alternative service delivery and payment models. These AUM alternatives require informed, high-value advice. TaxCast™ represents a tool for advisors to provide such advice in the area of federal taxes where complexity has often limited robust planning.

 

What we're most looking forward to at XYPN LIVE: Exhibiting at XYPN LIVE will allow us to meet the very advisors we hope to help have meaningful conversations with their clients about the impact of federal income taxes on the success of financial plans. Feedback from these advisors will enable us to identify and prioritize the enhancements that will make TaxCast™ accessible and relevant to even more advisors and clients.

What else we want attendees to know: TaxCast™ allows advisors to create visual and interactive client-facing tax forecasts. Using DragDropDeduct™ architecture advisors can “drag” transactions from a menu onto a work surface that TaxCast™ refers to as the “canvas.” The canvas displays ten separate tax years so clients “see” the effects individual transactions can have on federal taxes over a multiple-year planning horizon. Advisors can drag individual transactions from one tax year and drop those transactions into another tax year to allow analysis of how changing transactions with controllable timing will affect forecasted tax liabilities. To speed transaction entry and editing, TaxCast™ allows transactions to be duplicated over multiple years to reflect both percentage and dollar adjustments.


Capitect

CapitectOur mission: Empower advisors to provide holistic and personalized advice

How we help advisors: Capitect enables advisors to provide clients with easy-to-use, holistic portfolio reporting that covers all their assets. Our rebalancing solution allows for mass personalization that scales, so clients are not forced into one of 5 models.

What we want advisors to know about us: One of our founders started a solo practice fee-only RIA before starting Capitect. If you’re in a similar situation, come by and share your story.

Why XYPN LIVE attendees should stop by our booth: Pick up a redesigned t-shirt, meet our newest team member Kyle, and learn about the Capitect plan that's already included with your XYPN membership.  

What we are most looking forward to as an exhibitor/sponsor: It's our first in-person event since the pandemic. We are excited to see everyone in person again!

What else we want attendees to know: If you ask nicely, Edwin might show you a photo of his pandemic hair.


CircleBlack

CircleBlackOur mission: The CircleBlack Advisor Platform and Investor Portal/App are designed to make advisors an indispensable part of their clients’ financial lives. Our solutions bring together all the tools and technology Advisors needs and deliver it in a unified platform.

Advisors and other users can now more easily configure their dashboards to accommodate their specific daily needs, while accessing more data on a single screen, all with fewer clicks, less scrolling and faster load times.

If you haven't seen CircleBlack lately, you haven't seen CircleBlack!  

What we're most looking forward to at XYPN LIVE: We are excited to see and network with the Advisors we serve IN PERSON as well as virtually. The interaction and learning what advisors are looking for, what their greatest hurdles are, where they see the industry going helps us shape where to take our product next. We can't wait to see everyone.


Dimensional Fund Advisors • National Sponsor

Dimensional - DFA - partnerpageOur mission: At Dimensional, we aim to change the way people think about investing by implementing the great ideas in finance. The assets we manage represent more than shares in a portfolio. That money represents the savings, sacrifice, and dreams that investors have entrusted to us. We look to that responsibility to guide us in delivering transparent, reliable investment solutions.

How we help advisors: The value of the right financial advisor cannot be understated. For too many families and individuals, investing is a daunting component of their broader financial plan. By working with Dimensional, advisors can provide a better investment experience that clients can stick with in good times and bad. Advisors who work with us generally characterize our support team as an extension of their own team, and an insightful sounding board for ideas and best practices. We provide guidance on constructing model portfolios using Dimensional mutual funds, ETFs, and separately managed accounts, help advisors craft effective client communication on key investment principles and communicate best practices for the advisor’s business strategy. This ultimately allows an advisor to seamlessly combine financial planning and investment management into a robust and compelling offering that appeals to their investor demographic.

Why XYPN LIVE attendees should stop by our booth: Dimensional has a culture of academic learning, teamwork, innovation, and resounding dedication to always do what's right for our clients. This is what drives us. We believe that XYPN and its advisor members exemplify this same drive. As a result, we provide XYPN advisors the investments, messaging, and business strategy support they need to grow their business and deliver peace of mind to their clients. If you could benefit from this support and you're interested in learning more about our mutual funds, ETFs, and separately managed accounts, we invite you to stop by our booth to hear about our virtual onboarding process.  

What we're most looking forward to at XYPN LIVE: The Dimensional team always enjoys meeting the inspiring advisors that XYPN attracts. We love hearing about each advisor's journey leading up to the point when they decided to launch their RIA, and what dreams they and their clients hold for the future. We hope we can learn more about your business and how we can best support you moving forward.  

What else we want attendees to know: Advisors face client situations that present a wide variety of opportunities and challenges. Let's have a conversation around how we might be able to help with solutions that allow you to save time and money, plus refocus on areas of the business you're most passionate about.

Equita Financial Network Inc.

Equita Financial NetworkOur mission: Equita is founded by women to support women to thrive in the financial services industry, by providing the resources to run a high-quality autonomous financial planning firm. Founders, Katie Burke and Bridget Grimes launched their own firms in 2015 and 2016 respectively, with similar motivations: to better serve their clients, have the flexibility to spend with their families, to get paid what they are worth and to build a successful, thriving practice. From their shared experiences, they started to become sounding boards for each other, and as they asked more questions, they realized that the solution was to bring together like-minded women to share resources, ideas and best practices, and thus Equita Financial Network was born to fuel business success while empowering women in the financial services industry.

How we help advisors: As a female financial planner, what's your most important resource, your number one 'go-to'? At Equita, we believe that answer is community, but what does that mean? Together we are stronger, supportive and empowering of each other, women supporting women. As a community, we offer deeper meaning than a few professional networking gatherings. The many benefits include sharing in collective wisdom; there is strength in numbers and value in diversity of thought. We provide a built-in sounding board; a safe space to articulate your ideas, clarify your goals and get an outside perspective to bounce off others within the network. As successful women business owners, our community benefits from pooling our resources.

Equita has access to a network of finance professionals, business coaching, efficient technology and marketing services, compliance coverage, Errors and Omissions Insurance, and portfolio management solutions, including custodial relationships with TD Ameritrade and Charles Schwab.

We've analyzed 120,000 Portfolios, assigned a PRISM Risk Rating to 760,000 positions and generated 10,000 proposals and IPS. So what makes PRISM different?

There are a few risk analysis programs for client portfolios out there.

They fall into two categories:

  1. The pretty ones that show the clients their risk. Easy to look at, but not much under the hood.
  2. The ones with powerful risk analysis programming, but everything on the screen is for your eyes only. Clients' eyes just glaze over when you show them your screen.

StratiFi's PRISM Rating technology bridges that gap. It’s simple, robust and cost-effective.

With StratiFi you can:

  • Understand client risk profile and educate clients on their overall risk
  • Analyze risk attribution to evaluate potential recommendations
  • Compare and analyze changes to portfolios in real time
  • Evaluate risk, reward, and costs for multiple options
  • Generate proposals and document investment policy statements
  • Monitor accounts, review compliance risk and reduce potential liability

Our proprietary PRISM Rating technology takes a rigorous and scientific approach that evaluates multiple dimensions of risk and quantifies it on a simple 1-10 scale.

What we're most looking forward to at XYPN LIVE: Meeting like-minded people who are mission-driven and want to change the way people think about risk.

Why XYPN LIVE attendees should stop by our booth: To understand the difference that fact-based risk capacity and how Totum's unique 3 score risk framework can assist advisors in both their prospecting and ongoing client investment management.

If you are looking to grow your practice, a partnership with Zoe can jumpstart your firm's client acquisition efforts, help you open new channels of referrals, and bolster your client-facing brand.

XY Archive

XYArchiveLogoOur mission:
Helping XYPN members live their great lives by making compliance simpler.

How we help advisors:

We know staying compliant, and archiving specifically, can be a bit of a black box for advisors. What do I need to archive? When? How do I download my data? Do I get all of my data when I leave? Where, exactly, is my data? XY Archive offers archiving for email, social media, and website for XYPN Members. The cost of XY Archive is included in membership, so the cost savings on archiving software alone makes joining membership a no-brainer for many advisors. We built XY Archive specifically for the needs of our members, so we've invested our time in making the features you need easy to use and understand. Plus, if you ever plan on leaving membership (although, why would you?), you'll be able to leave with all of your data for no extra fee.  

Why XYPN LIVE attendees should stop by our booth:

If you're a non-XYPN member who is thinking about joining and currently using other archiving software, come visit us! We can chat through the transition process, our offering, and what to expect. If you're a member and you haven't started using XY Archive because you have questions, come visit us as well! We'll be happy to demo any features and talk through our roadmap.  

What we're most looking forward to at XYPN LIVE:

Finally seeing real humans in person!

XY Bean Counters

XYBC_Logo_emailOur mission: To provide outsourced monthly bookkeeping services to advisors, allowing them to focus on their clients and other business interests.

How we help advisors: We maintain the books so they don't have to! Instead of doing data entry, reconciliations, and the boring upkeep of financial statements, we do it for the advisor so they can look at financial statements as a business owner and use them to make management decisions. We are also solely focused on this industry so we could toot our horn and say that we are the industry experts in RIA bookkeeping. We take the time to understand regulatory requirements and how those factors play into how the books should be kept.

Why XYPN LIVE attendees should stop by our booth: To keep their caffeine buzz rolling and meet the Bean Counter Team.

What else we want attendees to know: If you have a problem or question around your bookkeeping, accounting processes, or business in general, come by the booth and one of our friendly teammates will be happy to help out!  


 XY Compliance Solutions

XYCS_logoOur mission: To empower firm owners and chief compliance officers through compliance education and consulting support in order to enable them to run a successful and compliant RIA.

How we help advisors: Our guides, resources, educational content, and consulting support help our advisors understand their compliance responsibilities and develop and implement an effective compliance program.

Why XYPN LIVE attendees should stop by our booth: Attendees should stop by to learn about who XY Compliance Solutions supports members with Compliance and what offerings we have available to help them effectively develop and manage their compliance program. Learn how our support will help them save time and increase confidence when it comes to their compliance program.  

What we're most looking forward to at XYPN LIVE: Networking with advisors and learning more about their challenges in implementing and managing a compliance program through various phases of business.


XY Tax Solutions

XYTS_logoOur mission: Founded in 2019, XYTS provides tax planning and tax preparation support to fee-only financial advisors and their clients. We make this possible by offering outsourced tax services at competitive, member rates.

How we help advisors: We exist to create experiences where fiduciary financial advisors can dedicate their time, energy, and efforts to doing what they love—serving their clients.

Why XYPN LIVE attendees should stop by our booth: If you are an advisor that currently offers or wants to offer tax preparation and/or tax planning services please stop by our booth! You can learn more about our three service tiers (Essentials, Premier, & Enterprise) and how XYTS can help your business during this upcoming tax season.  

What we're most looking forward to at XYPN LIVE: We are looking forward to engaging with advisors both virtually and in person. Half of the tax team will be in Denver, and the other half will be running our virtual booth. We can't wait to see you!

What else we want attendees to know: We are already onboarding firms for the upcoming tax season—snag your spot today by completing the Advisor Interest Form!

About Emily Campbell

Emily Campbell is Senior Associate Editor on XYPN's Marketing Team. She is passionate about language and writing, swoons over an illustrative alliteration, and she can't believe she gets the opportunity to communicate with the world about the XYPN movement. When she's not looking for her next chance to use an em dash, she spends her time with her rescued pit bull named Dog, coexists with spiders as an extension of her vegan values, and engages with the (mostly dead) philosophers that live in her head.
