NRS and Fox Financial Planning Network Launch AdvisorTouch Symphony
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) August 11, 2015 -- NRS (National Regulatory Services) and Fox Financial Planning Network (FFPN) announce the launch of AdvisorTouch Symphony, the only program of its kind to help financial advisory firms harness the power of combining robo-technology with practice management. FFPN created this program to demystify robo-technology for advisory firms and provide a detailed road map through every aspect of the implementation process to help firms maximize the benefits of its use.
Advisory firms that utilize the program will receive access to a wealth of resources and support designed to guide them step-by-step through necessary decision-making, get up and running quickly and help them effectively leverage the technology for the greatest ROI according to their own business model. AdvisorTouch Symphony is available to financial advisory firms as well as enterprises, such as large RIAs, custodians and broker/dealers.
Robust, advisor-friendly robo-technology is here. Until now, there hasn’t been a comprehensive resource available to guide advisory firms through the strategic, marketing, implementation and practice management issues that accompany its use. FFPN created AdvisorTouch Symphony to fill this gap.
FFPN has formed alliances with three other top industry service providers who are contributing to the program. Jemstep provides its expertise and its Advisor Pro robo-technology as the underlying automated investment service platform. National Regulatory Services (NRS) is available to provide compliance guidance and supporting technology and True North Networks provides guidance in the area of cyber security, for firms that may need guidance in these two areas.
“To date advisor-friendly robos have been signing up advisory firms, but advisors and their staff don’t know where to go from there. AdvisorTouch Symphony builds the bridge between the advisory firm and the automated investment service so that all involved can succeed,” said Deborah Fox, CEO and founder of FFPN.
“Many advisors have mistakenly pigeon-holed robo-platforms as a business model for only serving millennials or clients with small accounts. Advisors haven’t yet realized they can also leverage a robo for working more efficiently with their existing “A” clients. A robo-platform is simply another technology tool firms can use to improve their service offering - no matter what their investment philosophy is. Any firm that is serious about improving their clients’ experience should utilize Symphony to design an upgrade their current offering,” Fox added.
“It is critical that investment advisers properly implement any robo-advice platform from a compliance perspective. NRS commends Fox financial for developing a comprehensive program and will be available to ensure that program participants consider and adopt all required compliance policies and procedures,” commented John Gebauer, President for NRS.
