Envestnet Wealth Solutions Enhances Investment Access and Flexibility at Elevate 2026

Elevating Investment Access: Highlights from Envestnet Elevate 2026

On May 19, 2026, Envestnet, one of the leading firms in Adaptive WealthTech, showcased a significant transformation in the wealth management sector at the Elevate 2026 conference. The event emphasized innovative investment solutions, showcasing enhancements in its Wealth Solutions segment, particularly focusing on increasing accessibility to alternative investments while improving operational flexibility for advisors.

Dana D'Auria, Co-Chief Investment Officer and Group President of Wealth Solutions at Envestnet, outlined the firm’s strategic vision. "As the needs of advisors, home offices, and investors evolve, we are committed to providing a robust suite of investment management solutions. This includes expanding access to alternative investments and enhancing portfolio construction capabilities,” she noted. This initiative is aimed at ensuring advisors can efficiently cater to a growing array of sophisticated client requirements.

Key Enhancements in Wealth Solutions

One of the pivotal developments presented was the expansion of Unified Managed Account (UMA)-eligible interval funds. Since their launch in March, Envestnet has increased the offerings to nearly 30 different strategies, particularly in private credit and infrastructure. The management of these interval funds now encompasses all aspects, including research, trading, rebalancing, and tax-loss harvesting. This comprehensive approach allows advisors and their clients to have a more unified perspective on portfolio performance.

Looking ahead, Envestnet plans to introduce additional qualitative funds approved by PMC later this year, further diversifying access to alternative investments on its Wealth Management Platform.

The second technology release of 2026 also unveiled improvements aimed at enhancing model-level flexibility and interoperability. With expanded service request coverage, these upgrades enhance the scalability of the Advisor Traded Sleeve technology, thereby broadening access to alternative investments and fixed-income securities.

Celebrating a Milestone in ActivePassive Innovation

May 2026 marks the third anniversary of Envestnet | PMC's ActivePassive ETFs, which were first launched with an exciting debut at the New York Stock Exchange. The ActivePassive investment philosophy merges the advantages of traditional active investments with the cost efficiencies of passive investing. Currently, these ETFs serve over 27,000 accounts, with a total asset management of around $4.84 billion. Over the past year, assets have increased by nearly $1 billion, with 4,400 new accounts added.

Ms. D'Auria reinforced the essential role these portfolios play for financial advisors seeking diversified, cost-effective core allocations for their clients.

Pioneering Purpose-Driven Investment Strategies

During the keynote session, Ms. D'Auria underlined the significance of Purpose-Driven Investing (PDI) as a mechanism for advisors to align client portfolios with non-financial objectives. Envestnet's commitment to PDI empowers advisors to cater to various investor aspirations, from aligning investments with personal values to deploying strategies that aim for measurable impact.

She stated, "Our PDI solutions support advisors throughout the entire investment lifecycle, enhancing research, portfolio construction, and reporting while enabling more meaningful client engagements.”
