Avantos with Bassam Chaptini | E440
Agentic onboarding.
What happens after a client signs on the dotted line? In this episode, Jason Pereira sits down with Bassam Chaptini, co-founder of Avantos, to dive into an AI platform tackling the messy administrative gap of wealth management—from onboarding to daily servicing. Using a "knowledge graph" to map relationships across multiple systems, Avantos deploys smart AI agents to fill out custodian paperwork and execute routine tasks, keeping human advisors firmly in control for final approvals.
Instead of forcing firms through painful data migrations, Avantos syncs with existing software and pushes live updates everywhere at once. Backed by heavyweights like Vanguard, SEI, and Mercer Advisors, the platform is standardizing custodian workflows and preparing to bring its time-saving automation to insurance and banking next.
If you’re a wealth management leader looking to kill post-onboarding paperwork and streamline your operations, you'll want to add this conversation to your queue.
