The Compliance Layer

Our AI agents are
pre-trained on FINRA
and SEC rules.

Every AI agent we deploy for a wealth management firm is trained on FINRA Rule 2210 (Communications with the Public), FINRA Regulatory Notice 10-06 (social media guidelines), and the SEC Marketing Rule (206(4)-1). Before generating any prospect communication, marketing copy, or client-facing content, the agent cross-references these regulatory guidelines first.

It knows what makes a testimonial compliant under the new SEC Marketing Rule and what makes it a potential violation. It flags promissory language. It surfaces required disclosures before performance data goes into any communication. It catches issues before your compliance team sees a first draft — reducing review cycles and turnaround time significantly.

FINRA Rule 2210Communications Standard

All communications with the public must be fair, balanced, and not misleading. Our AI agents are trained to identify and flag language that overstates benefits, omits material risks, or makes implied guarantees.

FINRA Reg Notice 10-06Social Media Compliance

Social media posts, blog content, and advisor profiles are treated as retail communications subject to supervision. Our agents flag content that requires pre-approval before it appears on any platform.

SEC Marketing Rule 206(4)-1Testimonial Rules

The 2021 rule change allowed testimonials and endorsements for the first time — with specific disclosure requirements. Our agents know the difference between compliant testimonials and prohibited statements and apply the correct disclosure language automatically.

Form ADV Part 2 AlignmentDisclosure Consistency

AI agent responses and marketing materials are kept consistent with your Form ADV Part 2 disclosures — so there's no gap between what you advertise and what you've registered.

Industry Depth

We know this industry
from the inside.

Referral Dependency Is a Risk You Can Eliminate

If 80% of your new AUM comes from client referrals, you don't have a marketing strategy — you have a single point of failure. We build inbound systems that generate qualified HNW inquiries through LinkedIn advertising, thought leadership content, and strategic PR. You stop waiting for someone else to introduce you.

LinkedIn Is the Highest-ROI Channel for Advisors

You can target by job title (C-suite, Partner, VP), industry (private equity, real estate, medicine), company size, and geography on LinkedIn. A well-constructed LinkedIn campaign targeting executives in Westchester County costs $200–400 per qualified HNW lead — versus $8,000–15,000 for a referral arrangement from a CPA or attorney.

Tax Season Is Your Single Best Marketing Window

Q1 — January through April — is when high-income earners are most aware of their tax burden and most receptive to conversations about tax-advantaged investment strategies, Roth conversions, and advisor relationships. We build your Q1 campaign around this intent, not your general brand awareness calendar.

We Know the Redtail and Wealthbox Ecosystem

We integrate with Redtail, Wealthbox, Salesforce FSC, Orion Connect, and eMoney Advisor — connecting prospect interaction data to your marketing sequences without moving compliance-sensitive data outside your controlled environment. New prospect events in your CRM trigger the right follow-up automatically.

Next-Gen Client Marketing Is Different

Clients inheriting wealth in the next decade are making decisions differently — they research online, value transparency, and read content before they take a meeting. We build the digital presence that makes your firm the obvious choice when a UHNW family's next generation searches for their own advisor.

The 100 Basis Point Fee Is Under Pressure — Differentiation Is the Answer

Commoditization of investment management is real. Robo-advisors and low-cost ETFs mean advisors competing purely on returns are losing. We help you articulate and market what you do that algorithms can't: behavioral coaching, estate integration, complex situation navigation, and genuine relationships. That's a story worth telling.

FAQ

Questions from
wealth management
firms.

How do you ensure marketing for wealth managers is FINRA compliant?+

Every AI agent and campaign we build is pre-trained on FINRA Rule 2210 and SEC Marketing Rule 206(4)-1. Agents reference this regulatory layer before generating any prospect communication — flagging promissory language, performance claims requiring disclosure, and testimonial structures that may not comply.

Can AI help with FINRA compliance review delays?+

Yes. AI pre-compliance screening reviews marketing content against your firm's compliance guidelines before it reaches your compliance team — catching obvious issues early. Your compliance team sees fewer drafts that need major revisions, reducing turnaround time.

How do you market to high-net-worth prospects without cold outreach?+

LinkedIn advertising is the most precise targeting available for HNW prospects — targeting by job title, industry, company size, and geography. Combined with thought leadership content and strategic PR, we build an inbound pipeline where HNW prospects find you through your expertise.

What CRM systems do you integrate with for financial advisors?+

We integrate with Redtail, Wealthbox, Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, Orion Connect, and Tamarac — connecting your CRM to marketing automation so prospect interactions trigger appropriate follow-up sequences without compliance-sensitive data leaving your controlled environment.

How do you reduce referral dependency for wealth management firms?+

We build inbound marketing systems that generate qualified HNW prospect inquiries from LinkedIn, SEO, PR, and content — diversifying your pipeline so no single referral source controls your growth. Most clients reduce referral dependency from 80% to 55% within 18 months.
