BERWYN, Pa., Sept. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Envestnet has rolled out another series of enhancements to bring more of its ecosystem together for advisors.

"Through the continual enhancements to our integrated Envestnet ecosystem, advisors can improve their productivity, unlock new revenue streams, and be able to deliver more personalized investment solutions at scale, all while elevating the client experience for better outcomes," said Tom Sipp, Executive Vice President, Business Lines at Envestnet. "Smart advice and smart technology are a powerful combination—and based on advisor feedback, we have further tailored our platform to enable advisors to maximize the value they can add to every client's life."

Enhancements throughout the Envestnet ecosystem include:

Insights Engine

The Insights Engine, part of the Envestnet Wealth Data Platform, now offers more than 100 different types of data-driven insights for advisors curated daily, including the new Money In Motion AI-reliant insight that establishes patterns in account activity and cash flows -- such as regular deposits or withdrawals – and immediately calls out any significant deviations for advisors. For example, flagging large, very small or no monetary deposits, which can prompt advisors to determine cause and work with clients on any financial position changes.
Additional insights include opportunities for:
- Tax loss harvesting
- Identifying whether a client has underperforming products.
- Indicating a client who is retiring this year or approaching retirement.
- Flagging if a client has a financial plan that needs updating.
- Alerting if a client may have a life insurance gap in their plan; among many more.

Industry recognized, Insights Engine was named "Best AI-based solution for Financial Services" by the AI Breakthrough Awards in 2023.

"We've seen advisors harness Insights Engine to achieve significant year-over-year growth in brokerage-to-managed account conversions, and it provides advisors with an unmatched opportunity for growth and increased productivity," added Mr. Sipp.
