55ip's Investment Strategy Engine Now Available on CircleBlack's Advisor Hub

BOSTON, February 6, 2019 (Newswire.com) - 55ip, an investment strategy engine that enables advisors to automate and custom-build investment strategies using industry-leading quantitative capabilities, today announced its partnership with CircleBlack, a multi-aggregation wealth management platform that provides advisors access to a comprehensive set of investment and practice management services with a single sign-on. Through this partnership, 55ip’s sophisticated quantitative and digital capabilities will be accessible via CircleBlack’s platform.  CircleBlack advisor clients will be able to design or enhance investment strategies and address the most common frictions that get in the way of client outcomes – fees, risk of extreme losses and taxes. Advisors will also be able to customize tax managed index strategies that replicate a selected equity or bond index exposure applied via sector ETFs with tax management.

“No two advisory firms are exactly the same. They each have their own unique needs and growth challenges,” said Paul Gamble, CEO of 55ip. “We created 55ip as an intelligent investment strategy platform to help advisors grow and scale their businesses, while providing customized value to clients. CircleBlack shares this vision and deeply understands the advisor’s business. We’re excited about the partnership and the synergies between the platforms that will be an immense value-add for CircleBlack’s clients.”

55ip serves as a powerful, intelligent prospecting tool, enabling advisors to generate a prospect-level proposal in minutes illustrating the potential impact of lowering fees, risk of extreme losses and taxes – instantly putting the advisor and the client on the same side of the table. 55ip also enables advisors to play to their own strengths and investment management needs by allowing them to control or outsource part of the 5 key steps to investment management – fund selection, asset allocation, portfolio construction, tax management and trading – so they can focus on growing and scaling their practices. These capabilities are wrapped in a white labeled, easy-to-use digital experience and will be accessible directly from the CircleBlack Advisor hub.

“At CircleBlack, we’re committed to bringing advisors the most intuitive, comprehensive technology hub in the marketplace – and that means partnering with the industry’s leading solution providers,” said John Michel, CEO of CircleBlack. “We’re proud to partner with 55ip to make their sophisticated quantitative capabilities accessible to advisors using CircleBlack.”

The 55ip integration is now live for CircleBlack advisors.  To see the power of this combination advisors can schedule a demo at https://meetme.so/circleblack.
