FLX technology solutions to enrich engagement among emerging asset managers

BERNARDSVILLE, N.J., Jan. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- FLX Networks, the innovative network revolutionizing the engagement experience between asset and wealth managers, and the Money Management Institute (MMI) today announced a technology collaboration designed to enhance MMI's new initiative, Thrive.

MMI, the industry association representing financial services firms that provide financial advice and investment advisory solutions to investors, facilitates peer-to-peer connections, fosters industry knowledge and professionalism, and supports the evolution of the investment advisory industry. Furthering this mission, MMI has established a new initiative known as Thrive. After identifying the unique needs of the emerging asset manager community, Thrive is a destination for managers to engage, support and succeed with focused content and special networking opportunities.

MMI currently offers an Emerging Asset Manager Community among its member firms, designed for managers with less than $25 billion AUM who are looking to enhance distribution and gain insight and perspective on the industry. Every year, the EAM Forum features small-group roundtables as a unique opportunity for managers to meet face-to-face with gatekeepers of leading firms. Thrive will be an enhancement of all the EAM Community offerings.

"We are excited to leverage our community-building technology and expertise to enhance MMI's member experience," said Mark Spina, President and Chief Revenue Officer of FLX Networks. "The longstanding relationship between FLX Networks and MMI takes on a new and significant dimension through this collaboration. We look forward to helping to facilitate meaningful engagement among MMI members, fostering discussions on shared issues and challenges, and promoting the exchange of knowledge and information among peers."

"MMI is committed to serving the needs of emerging asset managers and the FLX platform will give members the technology and tools to grow their business," said Arlen Oransky, Executive Vice President, Chief Membership Officer at MMI, who will join FLX's Advisory Board to ensure alignment and idea flow to address the unique needs of emerging asset managers. "We also look forward to the added leadership of this initiative as it is spearheaded by Founder of Horizon Investments, and MMI Board Ambassador, Robbie Cannon."

"As an emerging asset manager myself, I'm excited about this new opportunity to make a significant impact on uplifting the EAM community and helping these firms to engage market intelligence, emergent trends, and peer discussions so they can get ahead in this challenging environment," added Mr. Cannon.
