1 articles · Updated · InvestmentNews · Jun 24

Summary

  • Asset-Map launched Growth Partners and a paid Growth Studio subscription, while VastAdvisor rolled out version 1.20 of its AI growth platform for wealth firms.
  • Schwab data showing average RIA client growth of just 4.8% in 2024 underscores the problem both firms are targeting: weak organic growth among independent advisors.
  • Asset-Map’s model leans on an external provider network—Anasova, Banrion Capital Management, PSBLTY and WealthReach—to cover pipeline building, branding, alternatives access and digital presence.
  • VastAdvisor’s release adds native Salesforce, HubSpot and Microsoft Dynamics 365 integrations, plus a searchable “Memory Palace” knowledge graph with FINRA Rule 4511 and SEC Rule 17a-4 compliant seven-year retention.
  • The competing launches highlight a broader wealth-tech shift toward growth software that blends marketing automation, CRM data and AI to help advisors win and manage prospects.
