Summary

  • Envestnet expanded its Vanguard partnership by adding Vanguard’s Advisor’s Alpha framework to its Wealth Management Platform alongside tax-aware portfolio management tools for advisors.
  • The integration is designed to turn tax-aware investing from a manual process into a scalable model-portfolio approach, helping advisors deliver more personalized after-tax outcomes.
  • Vanguard is also joining Envestnet’s Fund Strategist Tax Management Advantage program, which the companies said removes cost barriers to tax management services.
  • Eligible advisors using Fund Strategist Portfolios, including Vanguard Active-Passive model portfolios, can apply ongoing tax management tied to client preferences at no additional cost.
  • The move builds on Vanguard’s more than 25 years of research behind Advisor’s Alpha, including tax-efficient retirement strategies and tax-loss harvesting.
