Adhesion Wealth Partners with Addepar to Provide Customizable Investment Management Solutions for RIAs

Charlotte, N.C.—August 31, 2021—Adhesion Wealth®, a managed account provider for registered investment advisors (RIAs), today announced it has entered into a partnership with Addepar, a leading technology platform for wealth management.

Through this partnership, RIAs can benefit from greater reporting flexibility and recoup costly administrative time. Adhesion advisors may gain access to Addepar’s category-leading portfolio reporting and analytics platform, which enables them to deliver robust analysis and actionable insights to clients at a higher level of detail. The Addepar platform aggregates data from more than 250 proprietary data feeds and seamlessly integrates with advisory firms’ existing software through modern APIs, allowing them to deliver a tailored and differentiated client experience.

"I was thrilled to learn of the new partnership between Adhesion and Addepar. With the two firms combining forces, it takes one of the best-in-class UMA platforms and pairs it with the preeminent client reporting technology to give advisors the ability to provide their clients a complete view into the UMA, analyze performance at the manager level, and have better, more productive conversations with clients," said Stan Gregor, CEO of Summit Financial Holdings. "Summit is continually evolving by providing the latest top-tier technology to enhance client-advisor relationships, and this new offering is a perfect complement to our SummitVantage^TM platform that creates additional value-add in our recruiting efforts."

Addepar clients who seek Unified Managed Account (UMA) and Separately Managed Account (SMA) capabilities benefit from a seamless data integration with Adhesion. Combined with enhanced sleeve-level reporting capabilities, advisors are able to access powerful tools to help their clients implement sophisticated managed-portfolio solutions with ease while also monitoring fees and implementing valuable tax optimization overlay strategies.

“This partnership represents a huge step forward for productivity and integration in wealth management,” said Barrett Ayers, President of Adhesion Wealth. “The Addepar platform is, in our estimation, the best reporting system on the market today. We are excited to give advisors on the Adhesion platform access to their powerful suite of portfolio analytics.”

“We have maintained an unwavering commitment to building a best-in-class investment platform driven by client obsession,” said Addepar President David Obrand. “We are thrilled to make this offering more widely available through our partnership with Adhesion and provide greater access to investment solutions for investors predicated on freedom of choice.”
