Today at T3: LifeYield Launches the Taxficient Score®; Announces Riskalyze as First Integration Partner

Consumers have long understood the impact their personal credit scores have on their financial lives. Now financial advisors will have the ability to offer their clients a similar scoring mechanism to help them understand the tax efficiency of their entire investment portfolio through LifeYield’s Taxficient Score®.

The Taxficient Score will be showcased at LifeYield’s booth, #102, at the 2018 T3 Advisor Conference taking place at Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

LifeYield, a software company that hopes to help financial advisors and their clients to make and keep more money, developed the Taxficient Score.

The Taxficient Score will also be available through an integration with Riskalyze, thus enhancing advisors’ ability to measure risk and provide added value to their clients.

“LifeYield and Riskalyze both have a vision to quantify subjectiveness in an industry that feels broken to investors and their advisors,” said Aaron Klein, CEO at Riskalyze. “We can’t wait to see how advisors use the Risk Number and the Taxficient Score in tandem to empower fearless investing with their clients.”

“The partnership with Riskalyze validates the need among advisors to have access to tools and technology to provide digitally enhanced advice. The Taxficient score will help advisors create richer proposals and ultimately, a workable plan for clients’ to make and keep more money through tax optimization,” said Mark Hoffman, Chairman and CEO of LifeYield.

HOW TAXFICIENT AND LIFEYIELD WORK

The Taxficient Score is based on a scale of 0-100. A score of 100 indicates the household portfolio is optimally organized to minimize taxes. A lower score helps financial advisors see where to make portfolio adjustments and minimize client tax exposure.

LifeYield technology also allows financial advisors to look at all of an investor’s accounts in one place and suggest a coordinated household tax management approach.

“By age 50, most investors have five or six different accounts managed by multiple financial advisors,” said Lifeyield’s Hoffman. “With little to zero coordination between accounts, financial advisors could not analyze tax efficiency across all their clients’ holdings. In addition, they lacked an easy way to communicate the value tax optimization and asset location provides. LifeYield’s platform gives financial advisors a simple score, and the ability to devise an asset accumulation and spending plan to increase their clients’ after-tax returns and income.”

Investors can access their Taxficient Score through their financial advisor to manage multiple account types—such as 401(k), brokerage, Roth IRA and IRA rollover accounts—in a tax-efficient way.
