ThinkAdvisor features portfolio company Vestwell's unique approach to better enabling financial advisors to sell 401(k) plans.
“When an advisor comes in [to a company] to talk about a retirement plan, it’s usually a brown bag lunch scenario, where the advisor tells the company ‘here’s everything you can do but I can’t tell you what to do,” said Aaron Schumm, CEO of Vestwell, a new platform that helps advisors evolve their business to suit the changing world of retirement plan investing. “That can be intimidating and confusing, and more importantly, can prove to be a costly process for a business.”
