Envestnet offers wealth management technology and services to help advisory firms leave brokerages and compete with large financial institutions. Founded in 1999, it went public in 2000 and acquired data aggregation company Yodlee in August of 2015 for $660 million.
At FinovateEurope 2016, the company launched Advisor Now, a digital advice portal to help traditional advisors compete with robo-advisors.
