Streamline retirement income management with Altruist + Income Lab

Streamline retirement income planning with Altruist and Income Lab

Advisors, we are thrilled to share that the Altruist + Income Lab integration is now live.    

Retirement income planning and management is paramount to a holistic offering from advisors today but requires a proactive approach. Both firms believe it’s a critical component of financial wellness and best achieved when combining modern, user-friendly technology with comprehensive financial insights. 

“At Income Lab, we are committed to providing advisors with a first-class experience on our platform”, said CEO and Co-Founder, Johnny Poulsen. “We are excited to integrate with Altruist and align with their mission to make financial advice better, more affordable, and accessible to everyone. The integration improves the user experience and helps advisors gain efficiencies - saving them time and more importantly helping them create better retirement plans for the clients they serve.”

An integrated tech stack for advisors

The integration enables advisors to streamline retirement income planning by importing Altruist households, accounts, and data into Income Lab. It facilitates automatic updates of client account balances, ensuring advisors have the most current data for effective planning. With the capability to create and manage retirement income plans incorporating data from Altruist custodial accounts, advisors are better equipped to offer holistic financial advice.

This integration aims to help advisors reduce financial stress and anxiety for their clients with big-picture context.”
