Using NaviPlan’s self-directed planning APIs, advisors can build a variety of customized digital experiences for clients and prospects. These experiences, powered by NaviPlan’s industry leading calculation engine, can include:

  • Automated goal-based investment platforms.
  • Lead-generation and client-onboarding applications.
  • Advisor workstations and client collaboration tools.
  • Integrated financial portals giving clients access to financial plans as well as account aggregation, document collaboration, and personal financial management tools. 

Within these guided digital experiences, clients and prospects can utilize planning tools such as:

  • Self-Directed Goal Identification: Investors are guided through intuitive digital planning experiences that begin with identification of goals.
  • Self-Directed Retirement Illustrations: Smart planning assumptions clearly illustrate retirement needs. 
  • Self-Directed Account Aggregation: Data collection is gamified to simplify the process and produce real-time goal results.  
  • Self-Directed Risk Profile: Investors can provide details about risk tolerance, and see how their approach to risk affects projected results.

Every digital experience ends with a call to action encouraging investors to contact their advisor.

“In order to adapt and thrive in today’s evolving marketplace, advisors need technology that changes how they obtain, and interact with, the data required to create comprehensive financial plans,” said John Heinen, Chief Technology Officer of Advicent. “We continue to develop innovative solutions which reimagine the planning process and the client experience—and deliver the comprehensive, actionable advice that drives long-term value for advisors.”
