"RIAs using both Tamarac and LifeYield products will be able to improve their clients' financial outcomes and generate more business with innovative tax optimization," said Andina Anderson, managing director, client relations at Envestnet | Tamarac. "We will continue to work with our partners through our open API to create more seamless opportunities for RIAs to improve their clients' experiences and enhance their financial wellness."
