Envestnet was the big winner among our alums to be honored, winning a variety of categories: 401(k) Retirement Plan Support Services; Socially Responsible Investing (SRI)/Impact Investing; TAMPs; and Rebalancing. eMoney Advisor won the Client Portals and Innovation Platform categories, and Betterment for Business won the 401(k) Retirement Plan Support Services Technology category.

For Envestnet, the award comes just days after announcing its new collaboration with Charlotte, North Carolina’s Innovation Partners, who will use financial wellness solutions from Envestnet | Yodlee to enhance its wealth-management services. Elaine Lawrence, president and co-chief compliance officer for Innovation Partners, said the technology would help her firm “engage with clients according to their preferences, while also stepping in to demonstrate value as necessary.” Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Chicago (Envestnet) and Redwood City (Envestnet | Yodlee), Envestnet demonstrated its technology at FinovateFall 2016.
