NaviPlan by InvestCloud

NaviPlan by InvestCloud enhancements provide increased financial planning coverage across the wealth spectrum – addressing the most complex needs of HNW individuals with added user journeys and AI-driven personalization. InvestCloud, the global leader in digital transformation for the financial industry, today announces 80 new features to its digital planning tool NaviPlan, to further support the most complex needs of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). The upgrade also further integrates NaviPlan into the InvestCloud Digital Warehouse, aggregating all client and financial data to seamlessly support the transition of goal-based plans to cashflow planning with AI-driven personalized recommendations.

The enhanced product offering extends functionality for US and Canadian clients across the most complex planning scenarios – from estate and trust to equity compensation and insurance planning. Key new features include probate fee calculation, further estate surplus planning scenarios and upgrades to premier tax planning software. NaviPlan super-users partnered with the core InvestCloud product team to drive the product innovation roadmap, based on advisor feedback and a client-centric design approach. “Most financial planning software today still follows a cookie-cutter approach, which is overly focused on retirement, does not cater to the many other life goals that clients have and fails to deliver truly personalized and highly unique planning to each individual,” said InvestCloud’s CEO John Wise. “With an emphasis on behavioral science and design, we brought our clients into the product innovation process so that we could ensure that NaviPlan can support end-clients even better toward realizing their life goals and most complex financial needs. This provides advisors with one solution to support a client throughout their entire wealth journey as their wealth grows and financial needs become more complicated.”
