InvestGlass: The Superior Alternative to Harvest Fidnet for Empowering Wealth Advisory
Introduction: Redefining Advisory Expertise in the Digital Age
The essence of wealth management lies in the quality of advice and the strength of the client-advisor relationship. Tools that aim to “strengthen expertise and valorize wealth advisory,” like Harvest’s Fidnet, are designed to support this core mission. Fidnet provides resources and capabilities to enhance the advisory process. However, in an era of digital transformation, true advisory excellence is achieved not through isolated tools, but through an integrated platform that infuses the entire advisory process with data-driven insights, intelligent automation, and seamless collaboration.
This article makes the case for InvestGlass as the strategic and superior alternative to Harvest Fidnet. We will demonstrate how InvestGlass’s all-in-one, AI-powered platform moves beyond simply supporting advisory to actively enhancing and scaling it, providing wealth managers with the tools to build a truly modern, efficient, and client-centric practice.
Harvest Fidnet: A Tool to Enhance Advisory
Harvest Fidnet is designed to be a resource for wealth advisors, helping them to strengthen their expertise and enhance the value of their counsel. It provides access to information and tools that support the advisory process. While valuable, Fidnet operates within the fragmented Harvest ecosystem. Its ability to truly transform the advisory process is limited by its separation from the core CRM, portfolio management, and client-facing systems. The expertise it provides is not natively integrated into the advisor’s daily workflows, leading to a disconnect between insight and action.
InvestGlass: A Platform to Transform Advisory
InvestGlass is not a tool to support advisory; it is a platform to transform it. By integrating all aspects of the wealth management lifecycle into a single, unified system, InvestGlass empowers advisors with a level of insight and efficiency that a standalone tool like Fidnet cannot match. The entire InvestGlass platform works in concert to enhance advisory, leveraging:
- AI-Powered Recommendations: To surface opportunities and risks that might otherwise be missed.
- Automated Workflows: To streamline routine tasks and ensure a consistent, compliant process.
- Integrated Compliance: To embed regulatory checks and balances directly into the advisory workflow.
- Real-Time Analytics: To provide both advisors and clients with up-to-the-minute insights.
- Customizable Advisory Processes: To allow firms to digitize and automate their unique advisory methodologies.

With InvestGlass, you can codify your firm’s unique advisory expertise into automated workflows.

The AI capabilities of InvestGlass allow you to move from a reactive to a proactive advisory model. Instead of waiting for clients to call with questions, you can anticipate their needs based on data-driven insights. The platform can alert you to opportunities, such as a client having a large cash position that could be invested, or risks, such as a portfolio that has drifted from its target allocation.
3. Deliver Hyper-Personalized Advice
Because InvestGlass provides a true 360-degree view of the client, you can deliver hyper-personalized advice that takes into account their entire financial picture, their goals, and their risk tolerance. This level of personalization is simply not possible when your data is fragmented across multiple systems.
