Folio Financial Wins Excellence in Finance - Companies Award from FiNext
MCLEAN, Va., June 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Folio Financial announced today that it has been chosen for FiNext's Excellence in Finance - Companies award for its Digital Wealth Platform. This award recognizes firms that demonstrate the following characteristics: spirit of innovation, overall reach, industry impact, future readiness, and market demand.
Launched in December 2018, Folio's latest offering, Digital Wealth Platform (DWP), is a next-generation automated digital advice platform that enables financial institutions and advisors to deliver intelligent and personalized digital investment experiences to accounts of all sizes and sophistication, at a lower cost. DWP differs from its competitors in these game-changing ways:
-- Uses a modular design - DWP is available as a white-labeled,
customizable solution or through a robust suite of APIs that offer
complete control of the experience.
-- Engineered for competitive advantage - Unlike other digital investing
platform providers, Folio engineered DWP so that it can be fueled by
each firm's unique advice methodology, investment strategies, capital
market assumptions, and preferred investment products. This ensures
consistency of advice across channels and gives the client a competitive
distinction.
-- Delivers personalized investment solutions - Unlike other automated
investing platforms that offer a one-size-fits-all solution, DWP lets
users create and manage completely customized investment solutions that
meet a customer's individual needs.
With Folio's advanced API-based technology, advisors and enterprises of any size can deliver a cost-efficient, yet truly bespoke investment experience to retail investors, providing them with a distinct competitive advantage. Here are some additional aspects of Folio's functionality to highlight why FiNext chose the company for the award:
-- Unrivaled investment flexibility--Folio's platform offers stocks, bonds,
ETFs, mutual funds, REITs, and alternative investments.
-- Turbocharged model management--Clients can create and manage their own
models, license third-party models, or use proprietary Ready-to-Go(TM)
Folios (RTGs), in any combination.
-- Streamlined account management--Clients can automate time-consuming
tasks, like account opening, funding, rebalancing, billing, and
reporting in a truly end-to-end paperless process.
-- Enhanced trading capabilities--Folio offers the ability to set
account-level exclusions for individual securities, sectors, or specific
industries while maintaining efficiency and scalability.
-- Reduced trading costs--Window-trading technology lets clients trade free
of ticket charges.
-- Automated tax management tools--Clients can select from 10 automated
tax-lot-relief strategies designed to support a wide range of end users'
financial needs. They can also easily model tax gains or losses using
our patented Tax Football(TM).
-- Alternative investments and private securities--Folio make investing in
private and alternative securities accessible to a wide range of
clients, allowing them to invest in innovative businesses' stable yield
offerings, real estate securities, and much more.
-- Values-based investing--Offering sustainable, responsible, and impact
(SRI) investment options allows advisors to provide a more personalized
experience for end users.
"We are honored that FiNext recognized Folio's innovation," said Greg Vigrass, President of Folio Institutional. "Folio has a long history of delivering cutting-edge and scalable brokerage and custody technology to RIAs and enterprises. For example, Folio was one of the first to offer advisors completely paperless, streamlined account opening, bank-link creation and funding - and to also provide advisors with online trade confirmations, statements, performance reporting, tax documents and proxy voting services."
The award will be conferred upon Folio at the FiNext Conference on August 29-30, 2019 in Orlando. Folio previously won Wealthmanagement.com's 2018 Industry Award in the Custodians: Technology category, and was a finalist for the Investment News 2019 Innovation Award for DWP.
