AdviceTech Competition
2024 MISSION:
Tools for the Modern Advicer
For a large majority of advisors, the value of financial planning is ascribed to the products that they sell. But when the product of financial planning isn’t advice, it’s easy to see why investing in the advisor's value has become more of a checklist than a direct source of value.
“At its core, being a Financial Advicer means being someone who is first and foremost in the business of financial advice (not financial products)..." according to the Kitces.com “Financial Advicer Manifesto. The AdviceTech Competition’s goal is to turn a spotlight on the tech and solutions that support real Financial Advicers and make delivering real financial advice more efficient, profitable, or impactful for clients.
-
“Tools for the Modern Advicer” is the 2024 AdviceTech Competition theme. The goal? Reinforcing the incredible value that financial advisors bring to the table. We're interested in seeing new platforms and solutions that empower real Financial "Advicers" to run better businesses or give truly client-centric advice.
-
XYPN members in attendance are engaged early adopters of technology that allows them to give better advice to their clients and live their own great lives. Solve the problems of the modern Advicer, and your technology just might be the next AdviceTech Competition winner!
-
Finalists will be invited to take the stage to present their tech, selected by a committee of Michael Kitces, Dave Bowman, XYPN's Director of Partnerships, and XYPN members. These finalists will be chosen from the submissions based on the impact of the solution in helping real financial advicers run better practices and deliver more meaningful advice.
