TAMPs

When Nelly Mubashi left UBS in 2008, she assembled the infrastructure needed to launch her own RIA from scratch. By 2015, industry colleagues kept asking how to replicate her model. Now RIA Innovations offers that blueprint as a turnkey platform—complete with transparent pricing, flexible contracts, and the kind of institutional support that didn’t exist when Mubashi made the jump herself.

The TAMP marketplace has reached critical mass, but Kyle Fleming, Director of Product Strategy at SS&C Black Diamond Wealth Solutions, says the story is far from finished. The next phase moves beyond simple outsourcing to something more sophisticated: a mosaic approach that lets advisors retain control while gaining operational leverage. Fleming explains how firms can scale personalized service across generational households without adding headcount—and why workflow, not technology features, determines success.

Envestnet doesn’t fit into traditional TAMP categories anymore. Over two decades, the company has transformed from a closed-architecture service layer into an open, integrated technology platform. Blake Wood, Head of Platform Strategy, explains how Envestnet now delivers tax-aware trading, AI-driven data intelligence, and personalized portfolio management at scale—while giving advisors more time with clients thank to less time managing systems.
