Ascensus Launches Workplace-to-Wealth Platform
Ascensus launched its workplace-to-wealth platform, designed to help connect retirement savers with professional financial advisers.
The new platform is expected to provide participants with referral workflows and insights designed to link savers with their plan advisers. The tool is intended to create a more connected experience across workplace savings and personal wealth management, while preserving the trusted relationships between savers, advisers, employers and financial institutions.
Ascensus is also providing an artificial-intelligence-powered assistant that will help savers reach the adviser serving their plan when they need guidance.
As of August 30, Ascensus served more than 16 million plan participants and oversaw more than $1.3 trillion in assets under administration.
