DPL Unveils Technology To Scale Annuity Analysis For RIAs
DPL Financial Partners, an annuity and insurance platform for RIAs, has launched the Annuity Review, an interactive decision-making tool for advisory firms growing through acquisitions to align books of legacy annuities with a fee-based advice model, and thus better align their aims to act in a fiduciary manner. This technology-driven solution simplifies and streamlines the annuity analysis and exchange process, enabling enterprise firms to unlock long-term value from commissioned books of business for clients, their advisors, and their business.
Annuity Review rapidly analyzes a portfolio of annuities to identify contracts that can be improved through exchange to a fee-based product aligned with clients’ goals. Contracts that are not suitable for exchange can be transferred to DPL as agent of record and monitored for transition over time.
David Lau, DPL’ s founder and CEO, says that with more advisors moving to fee-based service models, this technology lets them“ shift annuity revenue from commission trails to transparent fees, while moving clients into lower-cost, commission-free solutions that deliver greater value and better support their goals.” To learn more, visit dplfp. com.
OneVest Launches Wealth Relationship Workspace
OneVest has announced OneVest GO, a stand-alone, AI-native wealth relationship workspace built specifically for the advisor and focused RIA team who prioritize client impact over administrative complexity.
OneVest GO allows independent firms to manage prospects, clients, and complex workflows with unprecedented speed. By moving beyond the limitations of legacy CRMs and disconnected communication tools, it allows advisors to give a personalized touch to sophisticated infrastructure.
Instead of requiring constant manual entry, the platform embeds intelligence directly into the advisor’ s daily routine: Communications and calendars in Outlook and Google are captured and organized automatically. The AI also analyzes meetings to generate immediate action items, summaries, and client-ready notes. And the system proactively highlights the advisor’ s“ next best action,” ensuring that every prospect and client receives elite-level attention.
RFG Launches ClickONE Command Center
RFG Advisory has introduced ClickONE Command Center, a new operating system designed to eliminate the fragmented systems and operational friction that have long slowed independent financial advisors across the industry. Built on a unified data layer with AI-driven intelligence, the platform connects every layer of the advisory business into a single command center where advisors can surface insights instantly and run their firms more efficiently.
Rather than juggling log-ins, systems and manual workflows, advisors can now access the intelligence of their entire business in one place and simply ask for the insights they need.
At many firms, critical information is scattered across multiple platforms, requiring advisors to spend hours navigating systems, reconciling data and piecing together insight before they can even begin their day. When advisors ask a simple question:“ Where should we begin?” this platform surfaces the intelligence needed to operate the business more effectively, including client insights, portfolio data, planning information, operational workflows and growth opportunities.
