BERWYN, PA — Envestnet rolled out its fourth-quarter platform technology updates, capping a year of rapid investment and signaling a sharper push to modernize portfolio management and advisor workflows across its wealth management ecosystem.
The latest release emphasizes flexibility, customization, and operational efficiency, reflecting direct feedback from financial advisors and firms that rely on the platform to manage increasingly complex client portfolios. Company executives said the updates are designed to translate technology investment into measurable productivity gains for advisors.
The Q4 rollout follows what Envestnet described as a transformative year marked by executive leadership changes, new partnerships, and a five-year strategic roadmap backed by a $1 billion commitment to research and development. The company said its expanding use of artificial intelligence in development has driven more than a 50% increase in productivity, accelerating product delivery while improving platform stability and quality.
“Our mission is to deliver the tools and insights that advisors need to provide superior outcomes to their clients,” said Chris Todd, chief executive officer of Envestnet. He said quarterly technology updates play a central role in turning advisor feedback into practical innovation.
Among the most visible changes is a modernized proposal management experience. Envestnet replaced its legacy Investment Strategy Proposal document with a redesigned version that features improved usability and deeper customization, allowing advisors to align proposals with firm branding and evolving client expectations.
The company also expanded custom content capabilities, enabling advisors to add firm-specific disclosures and create compliant branded materials using new templates and guides. Additional safeguards were introduced to reduce errors, including automated validation that prevents changes to portfolios affected by pending corporate actions.
Tax-aware planning was another focus of the update. Advisors using the Envestnet Wealth Data Platform can now access tax management insights directly within proposal modification workflows, allowing for more informed discussions with clients at critical decision points.
Operational flexibility was extended through enhancements to account reconciliation, cash release scheduling in automated portfolio management accounts, and new options to preserve model continuity in unified managed accounts when underlying strategies close to new investors.
On the data side, Envestnet said its Wealth Data Platform received broad upgrades spanning data discovery, reporting, alerts, and infrastructure. New features include territory-based data visibility, expanded advisor engagement intelligence, enhanced flow analytics, role-based alerts, and centralized reporting through a new Activity Center.
“These enhancements reflect our ongoing commitment to delivering intuitive tools and meaningful productivity improvements for advisors,” said Andrew Stavaridis, Envestnet’s chief relationship officer and group head of distribution. He said the company remains focused on equipping advisors with insights and flexibility as competition intensifies across the wealth management industry.
Envestnet said the Q4 release positions the platform to support advisors as client expectations rise and firms seek technology that can scale alongside growth while simplifying day-to-day operations.
