Cetera Financial Group, a network of independent broker-dealer firms, has launched My Advice Architect, a new wealth management platform for financial advisers and their clients.
Designed in collaboration with financial services provider Envestnet, the new investment solution comprises Advice Architect Ecosystem, a series of integrated platforms and services which is set to be launched in the coming months.
The solution aims to bring Cetera’s three core adviser-driven investment programmes together on the same technology platform to allow advisers to serve their customers with flexibility, choice and transparency.
Cetera’s Unified Program enables advisers to combine adviser-directed models, fund strategist portfolios (FSPs) and separately managed accounts (SMAs) in a single custodial account. It provides access to 100 strategists offering more than 800 mutual fund and ETF strategies, and nearly 300 managers.
Guided Program gives access to asset allocation models created by third-party model providers, and Adviser Program is an adviser-directed solution with a selection of asset types for both discretionary and non-discretionary client accounts.
Cetera said that My Advice Architect will be launched in a phased rollout across the network starting with Cetera Financial Institutions that are focused on serving banks and credit unions’ wealth management programmes.
