BrightPlan, an innovator in financial wellness programs for the Fortune
1000, today announced a series of feature-rich enhancements to
strengthen its unique employee benefits platform that helps increase the
profitability of employers.
BrightPlan’s new functionality promotes even smarter planning, investing
and spending decisions by employees through the following:
-
Personalized recommendations to employees for selecting funds in an
employer’s 401(k) using BrightPlan’s goals-based planning wizard. -
Investment insights for all linked investment accounts, including
portfolio analysis and fund fees to help employees better manage their
money. -
A powerful spending analysis in BrightPlan’s budgeting module to help
employees make wise spending decisions.
“BrightPlan’s financial wellness platform helps power growth by
increasing profitability and transforming a company into an employer of
choice,” said Marthin
De Beer, CEO and Founder of BrightPlan. “In labor constrained
markets, a financial wellness program is a clear competitive advantage
in retaining and attracting talented employees. The new capabilities in
BrightPlan make the platform even more valuable to both employers and
employees.”
BrightPlan brings together the benefits of both professional financial
advisors and digital financial advice. Being SEC-registered and
CEFEX-certified fiduciaries that deliver independent, objective advice
and are required to act in the best interest of clients is important to
employers and employees.
For employees, BrightPlan’s financial wellness platform delivers
certified fiduciary advice, tailored financial education, personalized
goals-based planning, automated investing, debt reduction, progress
tracking, spending analysis and budgeting.
For employers, BrightPlan provides an assessment of the state of
financial wellness across their employee base and identifies ongoing
opportunities to help employees increase their financial acumen. The
data-driven platform provides objective data and unique insights that
assist employers when making adjustments to benefit programs and
alleviate the financial stress of employees.
BrightPlan’s new functionality is the latest in a series of growth
initiatives by the firm. In May, the company closed a $12 million Series
B round from existing investors, bringing its total funding to $37
million. In February, BrightPlan hired Senior
Vice President Karl Holmlund to expand its sales team. In January,
BrightPlan’s sister firm, Plancorp, a 35-year-old wealth advisor with
over $4 billion in assets under management, opened a San Jose office to
serve its expanding client base in the San Francisco-Bay Area.
