The Problem
Advisors receive 401(k) fund menus from clients via screenshots or PDFs and must manually research 15-30 individual tickers for performance, expense ratios, and asset class overlap. Because this process takes 1-2 hours per client and generates no direct management fees, advisors often skip this service, leaving 30-40% of a client's net worth unoptimized.
Revenue Impact
Missed opportunity to charge 'Assets Under Advisement' fees on external 401(k)s; increased churn risk due to lack of holistic service.
Cost Impact
Advisors wasting highly paid hours (1-2 hours per client) on data entry and Morningstar lookups.
Risk
Compliance risk if advice is given based on outdated or incorrect manual data entry; reputation risk of ignoring major asset buckets.
