Wealth Access Releases Research Results on the Business Benefits of Account Aggregation
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) February 13, 2017 -- Wealth Access, the industry’s largest independent personal financial management and account aggregation platform, announced today the results of industry research designed to quantify the power of account aggregation.
According to the research study, conducted in partnership with Nexus Strategy, LLC, a leading consulting firm to the wealth management industry, data on the Wealth Access Intelligent Aggregation platform was analyzed in the first quarter of 2017.
Based on 16,000 client inputs, over $4.8 billion in “held away” assets were aggregated through Wealth Access. Of that $4.8 billion, the 130 advisory firms using Wealth Access reported through survey data that they were able to “convert” or bring under their management approximately 65% of those assets, resulting in a total of $3.1 billion in incremental, new assets now under their management.
Using the industry standard pricing model of 1% of AUM, that $3.1 billion in assets is generating $31 million in new revenues, equating to an incremental additional $240,000 per firm and $2,000 per client annually.
“We’ve all known how important it is for advisors to have a complete view of the clients’ entire balance sheet to offer the best advice and guidance to their clients,” said David Benskin, CEO of Wealth Access. “However, there’s never been a research study designed to quantify the return on that investment until now. “
By being an “aggregator of aggregators,” Wealth Access is able to go above and beyond providing an aggregated view of client holdings to be able to also tap into visual-aggregated displays of clients’ entire financial situations, cash flow and budgeting, personal financial statements and integrations with financial planning systems through links to over 20,000 institutions via enterprise components and APIs.
The Intelligent Aggregation platform is built on the latest technologies to provide a flexible solution for advisors and their clients. Through over 60 “plug and play” widget applications (net worth views, cash flow analyses, asset allocation charts, financial planning analyses and more), advisors are able to integrate specific components to complement and extend their existing technology or deploy a complete custom solution for their specific needs.
“The true power of account aggregation is the ability for advisors to provide a great service to clients while also opening up tremendous opportunities to better penetrate their client relationships for business development,” said Benskin. “In today’s more complex and competitive operating environment, this is the one thing firms can can do to accelerate their growth.
