55ip, an investment strategy engine that enables advisors to custom-build investment strategies using industry-leading investment science, and Fi360, the nation’s leading provider of fiduciary-related education and tools, have contracted to add the Fi360 Fiduciary Score® to the 55ip platform as a standard factor. This powerful combination gives registered investment advisors and wealth managers the ability to deliver better outcomes for their clients, with fiduciary monitoring ‘built-in’.

Under the terms of the agreement, Fi360 licensed its Fi360 Fiduciary Score® to 55ip for use within its proprietary platform. The custom version of 55ip will allow advisors to build investment strategies using ETFs and mutual funds that have earned superior Fi360 Fiduciary Scores.

“Fiduciary has hit the mainstream and advisors are looking for new ways to profitably implement a prudent investment process. Creating self-balancing investment strategies using the Fi360 Fiduciary Score® as a factor is a cost-effective way to achieve that end,” stated John Faustino, AIFA®, PPC®, Chief Product and Strategy Officer of Fi360. “55ip’s Investment Platform is a great vehicle to deliver our score, along with all of 55ip’s other factors, to those who want to efficiently build and manage client portfolios.”

The Fi360 Fiduciary Score® is an easy-to-understand method for objectively comparing peer investments and determining their overall fiduciary appropriateness. It’s a ready-made solution for due diligence that can help advisors demonstrate a prudent investment selection and monitoring process.

The 55ip platform empowers advisors and wealth managers to efficiently design and manage intelligent, custom and automated investment strategies for clients who seek to address the frictions that get in the way of client outcomes, such as high fees, extreme losses, taxes, and time. Advisors who use 55ip are equipped with industry-leading investment science wrapped in white labeled, easy-to-use technology that helps grow and scale their practices.

“In today’s rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, fiduciary monitoring is critical for advisors to stay competitive and grow their practices,” said Paul Gamble, Chief Executive Officer of 55ip. “Fiduciary advice and investment monitoring should not exist in silos. Our relationship with Fi360 will enhance our ability to bring best-in-class, custom investment strategies to the hands of advisors who want to build or amplify their clients’ portfolios in a fiduciary-minded way.”
