We’re proud to share that Addepar has reached a milestone and surpassed $2 trillion in client assets on our platform. Building on the momentum from our November 2019 announcement of $1.7 trillion in assets, Addepar has continued adding assets at a rate of $10 billion per week on average, even amidst extreme market volatility. 

This moment, for us, is about much more than a number. Addepar was founded out of the 2009 Global Financial Crisis and was purpose-built for times such as these, when communication with clients and transparency into asset positions is paramount. What’s more, the past several months have proven our decade-long hypothesis that Addepar can bring unmatched value to advisors through offering a more complete and meaningful financial picture during times of economic uncertainty.

Strength through volatility 

As Aite Group recently reported, the COVID-19 pandemic has catapulted advisors into a new understanding of the importance of efficient technology and digital client engagement. We’ve seen this phenomenon play out in every facet of our business, with more firms opting for modern, cloud-based technology that enables them to work from anywhere, and swiftly handle their clients’ wide range of questions. In an extremely challenging market and operating environment, Addepar delivered a record quarter on multiple fronts:

  • Record number of new clients, with a 50% increase over Q2 2019. 

  • Record number of renewals and new referrals from our existing clients and technology partners across the industry. So far this year, over 25% of new clients have been referred by our current Addepar users.

  • Record number of new clients using integration partners. 

  • Strongest quarter ever for our Family Office segment and RIA segment, with new clients such as Sowell Wealth Management. 

  • Continued growth in the Enterprise segment with the addition of a super regional wealth management firm with over 1,500 financial advisors.

Here’s some of our favorite feedback from our new clients over the past quarter: 

Throughout our due diligence process, we found that no other performance reporting tool had the customization capabilities and depth of Addepar. The ability to analyze and dissect performance throughout the portfolio was significantly better than the other systems available in the marketplace today.

After my own thorough review of technology vendors available today, Addepar set themselves apart by being truly consultative in their approach. The team understood my issues, provided suggestions, and allowed me to analyze this decision from all angles. At the end of the day, my ability to manage and report on all public and private investments in one place was a key factor in my decision.
