Vestmark Named as Finalist in Two 2014 American Business Awards℠ Categories

Wakefield, MA – May 22, 2014 – Vestmark, a leading innovator of advisory solutions and wealth management technology, was named a Finalist in two categories in the 2014 American Business Awards, to be held in September. Vestmark is nominated for ‘Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year’ and ‘New Product or Service of the Year – Financial Services.’

The ‘Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year’ is awarded for overall achievement in product and management innovation. In 2013, Vestmark responded to growing client and market needs for efficient trading tools for financial advisors and adaptable outsourcing services by launching two groundbreaking solutions, VestmarkONE Advisor and Vestmark Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), both of which leverage the VestmarkONE unified wealth management platform. The firm also received another US patent for innovation in trading and reconciliation. Vestmark’s continued focus on delivering innovations to its clients has driven the accounts managed on VestmarkONE to well over 1 million client accounts and over $300 billion in client assets.

Vestmark BPO is nominated for ‘New Product or Service of the Year – Financial Services,’ which is awarded for singular innovations introduced in 2013. Vestmark BPO supports the VestmarkONE wealth management platform by allowing clients to flexibly outsource middle- and back-office administrative and operational functions so they can focus on their core competencies and business needs. With Vestmark BPO, all middle- and back-office processes move entirely online and are completed in a fraction of the time for current industry norms, resulting in dramatically improved response times and enhanced service to the end investor.

The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business awards program. More than 3,300 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories. Finalists were chosen by more than 150 business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging. The product and technology awards will be presented at the ABA's awards event on Friday, September 12 in San Francisco.

“The final judges have a difficult task ahead of them, to rank the Finalists, because there are so many great nominations this year,” said Stevie Awards President and Founder, Michael Gallagher.

“Vestmark is honored to be recognized as an industry innovator by such a prestigious program,” said John Lunny, CEO of Vestmark. “These nominations emphasize Vestmark’s ability to anticipate trends from both a financial services and technology perspective. As the standards and values of the marketplace continue to shift, Vestmark will remain committed to meeting the evolving needs of our clients.”
