By combining digital advice capabilities, goals-based financial planning and personal advisory relationships, Fidelity AMP helps advisors meet the needs of the more than 60% of investors who want a combination of digital capabilities and access to human advicei.

Enhancements to Fidelity AMP Continue to Meet Advisor and Investor Needs Fidelity AMP is a comprehensive, easy-to-use digital advice solution that firms and
advisors can customize and integrate with their existing offerings, including white-labeling the end-investor portal with their branding. Co-developed by Fidelity and eMoney Advisor, Fidelity AMP was purpose-built based on conversations with advisors about how the digital advice solution could best meet their needs and help them deliver maximum value to investors. The Fidelity AMP team continues to improve the solution based on ongoing discussions, and it now features:
? Enhanced education and guidance in the end-investor portal, helping direct investors through account opening, account funding, and goal creation and management. This makes it easier for investors to manage the digital aspects of their accounts, which means they can focus on higher value topics during conversations with their advisors, such as life event planning.
? Deeper data integrations that enable firms and advisors to more tightly integrate the platform with their online portals. The integrations ? which include single sign-on, account opening and money management data prefills, auto aggregation, integrated planning, and digital account set-up ? streamline the onboarding workflow, resulting in increased efficiency and more time for customer interactions and relationship building. "The planning-led nature of Fidelity AMP helps advisors build relationships with
investors who want a digital solution, and then grow them over time on the same platform as investors' needs evolve," said Ed O'Brien, chief executive officer of eMoney Advisor. "Further simplifying the advisor and investor experiences allows them to focus more on those planning discussions."
To meet the varied needs of its institutional clients, Fidelity offers two different deployment options for Fidelity AMP: a call-center/enterprise model, where all accounts are assigned to a home office representative, and an advisor model, which enables a firm's advisors to open Fidelity AMP accounts with their individual branding. Both offer straight-through processing and deep levels of customized configurations.

"Advisors are also using digital advice to help clients understand their full financial picture and consolidate assets, simplifying their end-experience." Fidelity AMP Resonating in the Market
