Anthropic Expands Claude’s Advisor Integrations

Peter Nolan, Head of Asset and Wealth Management, Anthropic

Anthropic expanded Claude for Financial Advisors with 11 partner additions spanning financial planning, tax‑aware investing, private markets, research and advisor operations. The additions include CAIS, Conquest Planning, FactSet, FINNY, Flourish, Franklin Templeton, Invesco, J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s 55ip, Jump, MSCI and Nevis. The expansion builds on the advisor offering launched in September, with capabilities and availability varying by provider.

J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s 55ip announced a connector for tax‑aware portfolio transition analysis, including scenarios showing different realized capital gain levels. CAIS’s connection brings private investment information into advisor workflows, including fund eligibility, capital calls, unfunded commitments and repurchase windows. CAIS said the development expands its existing work with Anthropic, following an initial Claude integration announced in May.

“Alternative investments come with details that advisors need to keep track of, from capital calls to repurchase windows,” said Peter Nolan, Head of Asset and Wealth Management at Anthropic. “Connecting CAIS to Claude for Financial Advisors can make that information easier to find as advisors prepare for client meetings and portfolio reviews.”

Schwab Expands Advisor AI Tools

Jon Beatty, Managing Director and Head of Schwab Advisor Services

Schwab Advisor Services expanded AI capabilities available through Schwab Advisor Center and connected third‑party platforms, including access to Claude for Financial Advisors and Wealth.com’s Ester tax and estate planning tool. Claude supports research, meeting preparation and documentation. Ester’s introductory version provides guided planning workflows and document review, with free access until February and a paid offering planned for the first quarter of 2027.

The planned paid version of Ester will let advisors connect authorized Schwab data and choose which clients the tool can access. Separately, Schwab invested in Nevis and entered a strategic partnership to develop operational integrations. Their initial work will focus on onboarding, including document collection, account opening and asset transfers.

“AI can and will play a role in the success of RIAs of all sizes, and we are committed to making sure that every firm we serve has access to a range of options they can tailor to how they work,” said Jon Beatty, Managing Director and Head of Schwab Advisor Services at Charles Schwab. “But the relationship between an advisor and their client is irreplaceable. Everything we’re doing is in service of that.”

Advyzon Launches Financial Planning Tools

Kevin Hughes, President of Financial Planning, Advyzon

Advyzon launched Advyzon Financial Planning, a cash‑flow planning and projection offering built into its wealth management platform and available to advisors. The system uses existing client, household, account, portfolio, net worth and budget data for planning scenarios, including Social Security timing, Roth conversions and portfolio optimization. It connects planning with proposals, portfolio construction, investment management and ongoing monitoring.

The offering provides cash‑flow planning for multiple goals and changing financial circumstances, alongside a goals‑based investing option for individual objectives. Advyzon said its embedded AI brings client and portfolio information into planning workflows and prepares next steps for advisor review. Further capabilities involving retirement distributions, short‑term tax analysis and estate planning are planned as the company expands the offering.

“Listening to our customers over the past year has reinforced our conviction: financial planning belongs at the center of the advisor experience – not just from a relationship perspective but also a technology perspective. We’re bringing that vision to life with planning, AI, and the entire Advyzon platform working as one,” said Kevin Hughes, President of Financial Planning at Advyzon.

Nevis Raises $70 Million In Series B Funding

Carolina Brochado, Partner, Head of EQT Growth US and Head of EQT Ventures

Nevis raised $70 million in a Series B round led by EQT Ventures, with participation from Charles Schwab, QuantumLight, Sequoia Capital, ICONIQ and Ribbit Capital, bringing its total funding to $110 million. The company plans to use the funding to expand its AI agents and its presence across wealth management technology. Its platform brings together customer relationship management (CRM), meeting intelligence, financial planning and custodial workflows.

Nevis said it supports wealth management firms representing more than $700 billion in assets, including Focus Financial Partners, IEQ Capital and United Capital. Carolina Brochado, Partner, Head of EQT Growth US and Head of EQT Ventures, joined its Board of Directors, with Kaushik Subramanian joining as Board Observer.

“Mark, Philipp and Ivan have built an exceptional AI platform at a time when wealth management faces a growing capacity gap, with advisors retiring as demand for advice rises. Nevis is helping firms serve more clients and scale efficiently. We’re excited to bring EQT’s network across wealth management and financial services to support their growth and ambition to become the foundational AI platform for the industry,” Brochado said.

Docupace Launches Next Operations Platform

Brian Filanowski, CEO, Docupace

Docupace made Docupace Next 1.0 available to wealth management firms, introducing a cloud‑based operations platform built around reusable client records and relationships. Firms can maintain contact information centrally and use it across accounts, documents and workflows. Beneficiaries, trusted contacts and authorized individuals can also be maintained as related contacts and reused rather than entered separately for each account.

The platform combines documents from multiple work items into a single electronic signing packet and provides guided account‑opening processes for custodians including Pershing and Axos. Existing workflows, document histories and compliance controls carry forward during the transition. Docupace described the architecture as a foundation for future AI capabilities and agents.

“We have built a modern enterprise foundation with client data at its core, which brings together everything we have learned over nearly 25 years of serving wealth management firms. It improves how information moves through wealth operations today and gives us a strong foundation to build on,” said Brian Filanowski, CEO of Docupace.

Orion Connects With Copilot And Updates Schwab Data Delivery

Reed Colley, President, Orion Advisor Technology

Orion launched a plugin for Microsoft Copilot that brings Orion Connect portfolio data and Redtail CRM records into Microsoft 365 workflows. Advisors can request meeting briefs and portfolio summaries, analyze account information in Excel and draft materials in Word and PowerPoint. The plugin follows existing Orion and Redtail permissions and operates within firms’ Microsoft 365 security and governance controls.

Separately, Orion announced a change to its Schwab Advisor Center integration, moving custodial data delivery from files to the cloud. The company said the new method is intended to accelerate data processing and reconciliation for positions, transactions, pricing, cost basis and account details. Implementation is in its initial phases, with full implementation expected by year‑end.

“Some of the most meaningful improvements we make are ones advisors never have to click on,” said Reed Colley, President of Orion Advisor Technology. “Reconciled data is the starting line for everything an advisor does in a day, from reviewing accounts to placing trades to meeting with clients. By modernizing how we receive and process data from Schwab, we’re moving that starting line earlier, so advisors and their operations teams can get to work on accurate, reconciled data sooner.”

Modera Launches Mira AI Platform

Joe McCuine, President and Principal, Modera Wealth Management

RIA Modera Wealth Management launched Mira, a proprietary agentic AI platform designed to connect its client information, systems and operational workflows. The platform has been available across the firm since July, following two years of technology development and work on data structure and governance. Modera said Mira is intended to support financial planning and investment services through a common household‑level information record.

Modera is working with OnTrade to develop digital agents for planning, proposals and investment research, with human approvals for actions. The firm is also establishing a group to validate platform data and building controls to limit agents’ access to authorized information. Mira is designed to help acquired firms consolidate data onto a common platform for planning, risk monitoring and investment reviews.

“By bringing our data and workflows together in a governed environment, Mira can help our teams respond more quickly, work more effectively and deliver a more custom experience for clients,” said Joe McCuine, President and Principal of Modera. “Mira is designed to elevate our people, not replace the judgment, relationships and care they bring to their work.”

SEI Launches Pathfinder Portal For Advisor Business Planning

Shauna Mace, Head of Practice Management and Independent Advisor Solutions, SEI

SEI launched the Pathfinder Portal to help financial advisors assess business value, prepare succession and continuity plans and consider ownership transitions. The portal combines valuation capabilities, educational resources, guided support and advisor networking. SEI said it is designed for planning throughout a firm’s business lifecycle, including periods when an owner is considering growth or preparing for a future transition.

Advisors can use the portal to estimate firm value, identify factors affecting it and explore acquisition or transition options. It also supports documented plans and measurable next steps. SEI said users can conduct sensitive research, communicate securely, share documents and explore potential connections anonymously before deciding whether to engage.

“For many advisors, the true value of their firm becomes clear only when a potential buyer comes forward. By then, many of the decisions that shaped that value have already been made. The SEI Pathfinder Portal helps advisors understand the business they are building today, identify opportunities to strengthen it, and plan proactively for growth, continuity, and ownership transitions,” said Shauna Mace, Head of Practice Management and Independent Advisor Solutions at SEI.

Envestnet And Canoe Automate Alternative Tax Document Delivery

Zack Helgeson, Head of Product, Canoe Intelligence

Envestnet introduced a document integration between its Tamarac division and Canoe Intelligence. Tamarac provides portfolio reporting, trading, rebalancing and CRM software for RIAs. The integration delivers alternative investment tax documents, including K‑1s and K‑2s, into Tamarac’s Advisor Portal, where advisors can send them to clients’ portals in a single step. The development builds on the firms’ automated alternative investment data feed established last year.

The firms said their more than two dozen shared clients can choose whether to enable the integration. Once enabled, documents move automatically between systems without manual uploads or reentry. Canoe serves as the collection point for fund documents, while Tamarac provides the advisor and client portals where those materials can be accessed alongside information about public market holdings.

“Advisors shouldn’t have to leave their workflow to piece together a client’s full portfolio,” said Zack Helgeson, Head of Product at Canoe. “This integration takes the manual work of collecting and delivering alts documents off advisors’ plates entirely, and it gives their end clients centralized access to those documents in one place through the Tamarac client portal, so advisors can spend that time where it matters: with clients.”

Mercer Advisors Expands Alternatives Operations Partnership With Arch

Ryan Eisenman, Co‑Founder and CEO, Arch

Mercer Advisors expanded its partnership with Arch under a multiyear agreement supporting private investment operations, including portfolio monitoring, liquidity planning and capital call and distribution tracking. The companies said Mercer had saved more than 7,000 hours annually and reduced the operational cost of managing client alternatives by 40% since their work began in early 2025.

Arch collects private investment documents from fund administrator portals and routes information to reporting systems and other teams. The work includes making K‑1s available to clients’ accountants and providing notifications, fund manager commentary and portfolio company news. Mercer also uses Arch to consolidate private holdings from acquired firms, including family office portfolios, within a centralized operating and reporting model connected to its Aspen Investing platform.

“Mercer Advisors has one of the most sophisticated investment platforms in the RIA and multi‑family‑office space,” said Ryan Eisenman, Co‑Founder and CEO of Arch. “Our AI‑powered operating system removes the operational friction of private investing so advisors can focus on meaningful client conversations and financial planning. We’re excited to support Mercer’s ability to quickly integrate, onboard, and support new partner firms with complex client portfolios.”

Savvy Wealth Launches Private Markets Program With Allocate

Anshul Sharma, Chief Investment Officer, Savvy Wealth

Savvy Wealth launched a private markets program for advisors on its platform, initially focused on venture capital and growth equity managers. It partnered with Allocate on manager selection and portfolio construction. The program is available only to qualified‑purchaser clients, who can participate through a single commitment. Future vintages are expected to include private equity, income‑oriented strategies and infrastructure.

Savvy’s investment team oversees manager research and due diligence. The program is designed to offer exposure across managers, asset classes and vintages, with consolidated subscriptions, reporting and tax documents integrated into the Savvy platform. Allocate, the private markets technology provider supporting the program, works with more than 400 advisory firms, according to the announcement.

“The best opportunities in private markets have historically been reserved for institutions and the ultra‑wealthy,” said Anshul Sharma, Chief Investment Officer of Savvy Wealth. “Clients read about private companies valued in the tens of billions that they’ve never had a chance to own, and they’re asking their advisors about it. This program lets our advisors deliver that access, with rigorous manager selection and due diligence built in.”

Zeplyn Introduces Agentic Workflows For Advisor Operations

Era Jain, Co‑Founder and CEO, Zeplyn

Zeplyn introduced Workflows, a capability that turns a wealth management firm’s operating procedures into multistep processes across systems and departments. The company said it supports advisor transitions, client onboarding, account opening and other middle- and back‑office work. Each workflow retains its owner, status and activity history as tasks move between teams, await information or pause for approval.

The system combines AI agents that interpret information and determine next steps within defined boundaries with fixed rules for data validation and system updates. Workflows pauses at firm‑defined approval points for a designated person to review the work. Zeplyn said the capability builds on more than 50 wealth‑specific agents and integrations with more than 30 advisor systems, customized to each firm’s procedures and oversight requirements.

“An advisory firm should be able to tell its AI how it operates and expect the work to get done, and with Zeplyn Workflows, that’s possible,” said Era Jain, Co‑Founder and CEO of Zeplyn. “Workflows lets firms hand over the work that keeps their teams buried, without giving up the standards that make their firm worth choosing.”
