Two awards. One vision: wealth management, reimagined.
PWM Wealth Tech Awards 2026
We’re proud to announce that OneVest has been named a winner in two categories at the 2026 PWM Wealth Tech Awards, one of wealth management’s most respected industry recognitions, published annually by Private Wealth Management, a Financial Times publication.
PWM Wealth Tech Awards 2026: WINNERS
Best Supplier for Use of AI
Best Supplier for Client Onboarding Technology
These awards reflect the work our team has been doing to fundamentally rethink how wealth management firms operate. Not just digitize the old way of doing things, but rebuild from the ground up.
In March 2026, we launched the Agentic Wealth Operating System: an AI-native platform designed to automate the operational workflows that slow wealth management firms down from account opening and document processing to compliance checks and data handling.
The Agentic Wealth OS moves beyond simple alerts and notifications. It’s a true “Jobs to be Done” engine, one that understands context, takes action, and improves the fragmented, paper-heavy processes that have long burdened advisors and operations teams. The result: less time on administration, more time with clients.
Being recognized in both AI and onboarding is meaningful to us, because those two categories aren’t separate. The future of onboarding is AI-powered, and the future of AI in wealth management is only as good as the client experience it creates.
A thank you to our team, our partners, and the firms who trust us to power the future of wealth management.
