The Great WealthTech Bifurcation & Other March News Highlights
We just wrapped up a massive news cycle for the WealthTech Today podcast, and the pace of change in our industry is accelerating. From record-breaking funding rounds to the “Great Bifurcation” of AI, here are the stories you need to know:
1. The Great AI Note-Taker Bifurcation
We are seeing a clear split in the market. On one side, legacy CRMs and custodians are embedding AI features. On the other, specialized “Agentic Advisor OS” platforms like
Zocks | AI for Advisors and
Jump are raising massive capital—$45M and $80M respectively—to act as the intelligent data gatekeepers of the advisor tech stack.
2.
Advyzon Moves into Planning
Advyzon continues its “all-in-one” evolution, adding native financial planning capabilities led by former
MoneyGuide executives. This is a significant move for RIAs looking to reduce task-switching and consolidate their core infrastructure.
3. The $30 Million Productivity Gain
Data from
Docupace shows that
PreciseFP and
Hubly Inc eliminated over 200,000 hours of manual work for advisors in 2025. This isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s a massive operational windfall that changes the ROI calculation for digital data gathering.
4. Contio & Meeting OS
Aaron Klein is back with
Contio. Their Meeting OS platform is designed to transform the entire meeting lifecycle—from automated agendas to real-time data surfacing—into a decisive moment for advisors.
5.
Osaic Taps
finny.ai for AI Prospecting
In a major enterprise deal, Osaic is putting FINNY’s AI-driven prospecting tools into the hands of 11,000 advisors. This signals a shift toward using intent signals and automated multi-channel campaigns at scale.
6. The
Orion Roadmap
From a foundational AI collaboration with
Anthropic to the launch of Denali AI and a new Unified Managed Household (UMH) roadmap, Orion is leaning heavily into enterprise-grade infrastructure and coordinated household management.
7. Executive Move:
Abby S. to
Mercer Global Advisors
A big congrats to Abby Salameh on joining Mercer Global Advisors as Managing Partner. Her extensive experience at RFG, CAIS, and Hightower will be a major asset for Mercer’s growth in the Tri-State region.
