HOLBROOK, N.Y. (Dec. 22, 2020)—American Portfolios Holdings, Inc. (APH), for the benefit of its related broker/dealer and registered investment advisor entities—American Portfolios Financial Services, Inc. (APFS) and American Portfolios Advisors, Inc. (APA), respectively—has made a major new commitment to Xtiva, the only provider of sales performance management technology and services exclusively for the financial services industry.
“American Portfolios (AP) has a long history of bringing leading technologies and tools into the many financial services practices we serve. Xtiva’s suite is an opportunity to do that again and accelerate the success of our affiliated investment professionals and the firm,” states CEO and CIO Lon T. Dolber.
“AP—as recognized by their industry awards and business performance—is a clear leader in the wealth management market. We appreciate the long-standing partnership between our organizations and look forward to further expanding on the value we bring to AP and their network of financial advisors,” explains Xtiva Chief Executive Tom Moysak.
The increased investments in tools to support advisor success, as well as organizational performance and growth, further advances the firm’s promise to provide its family of affiliated investment professionals with optimal services and support. AP’s new commitment to Xtiva builds upon a nearly two-decade relationship with the technology provider; Xtiva’s platform(s) is used by the firm’s accounting and commissions area as the method of payment for compensating AP’s affiliated financial advisors.
“Upgrading from AP’s legacy Xtiva compensation service to Xtiva Reward will give us some great leverage,” said CFO Damon Joyner. “The addition of Xtiva Intel capabilities for our affiliated financial advisors, their support staff and our home office team will further enhance many of the investments we have made in the business over the past decade.”
With an upgrade to Xtiva Reward, AP will leverage next-generation compensation tools purposely built for modern financial services organizations. The new addition of Xtiva Intel will unlock powerful performance optimization opportunities, delivering insights direct to the desktop and mobile devices of head office staff, field leaders and, most importantly, financial advisors and their practice partners.
The key benefits of the expansion include: (1) enablement of future-ready compensation capabilities that support growth, as well as organizational and practice flexibility to respond to opportunities; 2) improvements in operational efficiency and scalability; 3) performance optimization across the organization from advisor practices to the top-of-house; and 4) practice management tools and KPIs for enhanced intelligence and reporting.
