The two companies are aligned in their belief that risk management for investors and business risk for financial professionals represent two of the profession’s greatest challenges year after year. The strategic alliance of these two industry leaders will address both.
“Cetera is at the forefront of advice-centric innovation in the wealth management space and risk management is a key component and value-driver within a wealth offering,” said Aaron Klein, Chief Executive Officer at Riskalyze. “They weren’t looking to add a vendor…they want to create a uniquely comprehensive and consistent approach for their financial professionals to benchmark, measure, document and analyze risk for investors. We are honored to be their ally in delivering these new capabilities.”
At the onset of 2021, Cetera will make Riskalyze’s risk alignment and portfolio analytics solutions available to its entire network as a benefit of affiliation and no additional cost to its financial professionals via AdviceWorks™. The toolset will enable financial professionals to set expectations with clients and document their fiduciary care, while adding a layer of business value protection for their practice. It creates an opportunity across the entire client lifecycle, from sales to growth and servicing existing clients.
