Advyzon Investment Management (AIM), a turnkey asset management program (TAMP) under the umbrella of comprehensive technology platform Advyzon, was named the winner of the ‘Model Marketplaces’ award in the TAMPs category of the 2024 WealthManagement.com Industry Awards – an annual competition and industry-leading awards program often referred to as ‘The Wealthies’. The firm was recognized at the tenth annual Industry Awards ceremony and gala, held on September 5^th, 2024, at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to be recognized by WealthManagement.com and accept this prestigious award,” said Lee Andreatta, CEO of AIM. “Our team has been hard at work on our Nucleus Model Marketplace since we launched it in Spring 2023, and we’ve been determined to make it one of the most robust model marketplaces available to advisors. Combined with AIM’s managed portfolio solutions and Advyzon’s all-in-one wealthtech platform, we’re convinced that our offering is the most comprehensive solution available to advisors today.”

John Mackowiak, Chief Revenue Officer of Advyzon, and Mike Ursitti, Senior Vice President of Business Development at AIM, attended the awards ceremony and accepted the award, with Mackowiak participating in a red carpet video interview with the industry-leading publication. The evening red carpet, cocktail reception, and black-tie awards ceremony was attended by more than 500 industry executives and team members from leading asset management firms, RIAs, B/Ds, custodians, technology providers, and other industry-related companies.

In addition to winning the ‘Model Marketplaces’ award, AIM was also named a finalist in the ‘TAMPs’ category – highlighting the launch of the AIM platform and Nucleus. Further, Advyzon was named a Wealthies finalist for the fourth consecutive year – this year, in two categories under Technology Providers: ‘Rebalancing’ and ‘Portfolio Management, Accounting & Performance Reporting’ – highlighting Advyzon’s Quantum Rebalancer and the inaugural Advyzon Conference.

This year, 92 awards were presented to 84 companies from a pool of 287 finalists. Winners were chosen by an independent panel of industry judges and honored the best companies, individuals, and organizations that support financial advisor success. The finalists were culled down from more than 1,000 entries from more than 400 companies, and 104 firms were recognized for outstanding achievement in multiple categories – including Advyzon. With four combined categories between Advyzon and AIM, Advyzon tied for the third most finalist nods among all the companies that were honored.

A FULLY COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION FOR FINANCIAL ADVISORS

Advyzon Investment Management, which launched in Spring 2022, was created to allow financial advisors to be more efficient via a better integrated user experience by providing TAMP services conveniently within Advyzon's single source code platform.
