12:45pm – 1:05pm | Lunch Spotlight Session: Delivering Comprehensive Wealth Management Solutions in a Digital-First Environment
It’s never been a better time to be an advisor. There are countless tools and third-party providers at an advisor’s disposal to help them automate time-consuming tasks like onboarding, rebalancing, and modeling, and shift their focus to what really matters—their clients’ financial lives. In this session, Matt Wilson, Head of E*TRADE Advisor Services, will provide an overview of the industry and highlight how advisors are uniquely positioned to win in the current environment. He will also focus on how E*TRADE is combining the technology and people to make the investing advice continuum more complete, from self-directed investors seeking best-in-class digital platforms and guidance, to investors who seek higher-touch relationships and advice.

Matt Wilson, Head of E*Trade Advisor Services

This panel will provide tangible learnings that you can use to make your own implementations more successful.
