LifeYield Announces Integration with Schwab Advisor Services™

Tech Integration Adds Single Sign-On Capabilities Connecting LifeYield’s Advantage Suite® to Schwab Advisor Center, Offering New Household-Level Portfolio Management Tools to Advisors who Custody with Schwab.

 

BOSTON, Dec. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — LifeYield LLC, the leading cloud-based solution that facilitates tax-smart, risk-smart management of an investor’s entire household portfolio, announced today a new integration with Schwab Advisor Services™, providing a single sign-on (SSO) solution from LifeYield’s Advantage Suite® directly to the Schwab Advisor Center® (SAC) platform.

This integration is the first step in connecting LifeYield to the Schwab Advisor Center®, allowing LifeYield users who have turned on the integration to enter several related sections of SAC directly from their LifeYield user interface. Additionally, Schwab exports account information daily to LifeYield, allowing for an easy way for RIAs to view all pertinent client account information via one platform, streamlining daily processes for advisors and enabling them to service their clients more efficiently.

“LifeYield is at the forefront of the household-level fintech revolution, and it’s through integrations with firms like Schwab we’re able to help RIAs grow their businesses and investors make and keep more of their money,” said Steve Zuschin, EVP at LifeYield. “This integration makes our powerful software suite available to thousands of RIAs who custody with Schwab, and we’re proud to be included as an integration partner on their platform.”

“LifeYield’s Advantage Suite toolset is a welcome addition to our growing integration ecosystem,” said Kartik Srinivasan, managing director, Digital Product Management for Schwab Advisor Services. “Their technology enabling advisors to efficiently manage an investor’s entire household aligns well with our strategy to offer integrated solutions that help advisors serve their clients more effectively while also helping them scale their business.”
