Technology has transformed the financial advisory industry in recent years. Financial advisers now have access to a range of tools and platforms to help them provide a better service to their clients. While adopting new technologies is not always easy, the advantages of doing so are clear.
In today's episode, Jack talks with Evan Rapoport, Founder and CEO of SMArtX Advisory Solutions. Building on years of experience in the institutional asset management segment, Evan pioneered managed accounts technology that allows wealth managers of all types to access the same strategies typically only available to the largest investors. Before forming SMArtX, Evan created a comprehensive financial data marketplace for hedge funds, HedgeCo.Net, which still exists today.
Evan talks with Jack about how SMArtX Advisory Solutions helps to redefine managed accounts technology and how it integrates technology to bring the financial advisory industry into the modern day.
