Laval, Québec, Canada – June 9, 2021
Croesus, a pioneer and Canadian leader in portfolio management solutions, and Conquest Planning, a FinTech company developing an innovative, industry-leading financial planning solution, have entered into a strategic partnership agreement to bring their respective solutions to investment advisors and wealth management professionals. Croesus users will be able to access the Conquest solution through an application programming interface (API) to build customized financial plans for their clients based on the data residing in Croesus.
“This agreement is part of Croesus’s platform-as-a-service [PaaS] strategy in which we will continue to bring innovative solutions to wealth professionals, whether built in-house or delivered through strategic partnerships. The Conquest Planning solution will help meet our users’ and end-clients’ demand for tailored financial planning using powerful technologies such as machine learning,” said Sylvain Simpson, President of Croesus.
“Conquest Planning’s mission is to serve up more financial plans globally. This partnership with Croesus fuels that mission by enabling more advisors to build best-in-class financial plans for their clients. The connection to Croesus’s back office, feeding data into the financial plan, means better experiences for both financial advisors and their clients. We are excited to form this partnership to deepen how we serve the market,” said Dr. Mark Evans, Founder and CEO of Conquest Planning.
A recent survey (Canadian Financial Capability Survey, 2019) by the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) showed that 67% of requests for financial information by Canadians in the previous 12 months was for general financial planning advice or more specialized financial planning information and solutions. The joint capacity of Croesus and Conquest will facilitate investment advisors’ work and allow for better servicing of their clients’ needs regarding financial planning and the complex issues surrounding its production.
