Fugent Unveils 2.0 Platform To Transform The Way Wholesalers Take Financial Products To Market

NEW YORK, June 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fugent, a leading provider of digital growth tools for the financial services industry, today announces Fugent 2.0.  Leveraging data, technology and financial expertise, Fugent's enhanced platform empowers wholesalers to digitally connect with and engage advisors in the office or in the field. The announcement coincides with Fugent's support of the Strategic Insight Fund Trends Conference in New York City (June 21-22), where industry leaders and colleagues from major institutions will discuss issues and trends across mutual fund and wealth management industries. 

"Advisors, like all consumers today, insist on an on-line yet relevant and personalized component to their relationships," notes Clay Thompson, Chief Revenue Officer at Fugent.  "Implementing a strategy to capture the data intrinsic to that new relationship will determine who the successful distributors of today and tomorrow will be."

Fugent 2.0 empowers its users to take advantage of a technology that offers an end-to-end sales enablement tool allowing manufacturers to more intelligently prospect and build relationships with advisors through a variety of web-based technologies.  Fugent works by facilitating dynamic on-line, digital communications with the ability to discover and leverage an advisors on-line behavior and preferences.
