Broadridge Expands Wealth Management Capabilities with AdvisorStream Acquisition

Broadridge Financial Solutions, provider of investor communications, technology-driven solutions, and data and analytics to the financial services industry, announced that it has acquired AdvisorStream, a provider of digital engagement and marketing solutions for the global wealth and insurance industries.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The acquisition expands Broadridge‘s front-to-back office wealth capabilities, positioning Broadridge to serve growth-oriented advisors and firms looking to attract and engage prospects and clients across key digital channels.

AdvisorStream’s advisor marketing platform enables advisors to drive revenue and growth by providing personalised and consistent client communications.

The platform combines powerful marketing automation with highly engaging content licensed from global sources like Dow Jones Newswires (including The Wall Street Journal and Barron’s), The New York Times, Forbes, Bloomberg Media, The Globe & Mail, and many others.

Broadridge’s broad data foundation, combined with AdvisorStream, will empower financial advisors to pinpoint what is most relevant and engaging for individual prospects and clients at each step of the investor lifecycle.

Advisors can drive revenue and growth by providing every investor with the right communication, at the right time, in the manner that is most meaningful to them.

In addition, AdvisorStream’s robust compliance capabilities provide flexibility for advisors while still easily integrating into existing head office marketing workflows.
