CHICAGO, July 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Envestnet, Inc.
(NYSE: ENV) announces that Sterling Trustees has joined the
Envestnet Trust Services Exchange, powered by Trucendent, to
provide its suite of South Dakota
trust administration services as an embedded offering to Registered
Investment Advisers (RIAs) and broker-dealers.
The Envestnet Trust Services Exchange is the only
advisor-centric solution which supports the entire wealth transfer
process through the use of trust accounts. The Exchange integrates
advice creation, documentation, goal setting, account
implementation, and trustee services within a single platform,
while also leveraging a powerful third-party estate planning
attorney network. Envestnet launched the Exchange in partnership
with Trucendent (https://www.trucendent.com/), a provider of wealth
transfer planning solutions designed to help advisors cultivate and
grow relationships with the next generation.
"South Dakota offers many
favorable trust and tax laws, and easy access to an independent
trustee specializing in South
Dakota trusts is vital for allowing advisors and
broker-dealers to take advantage of these benefits for clients,"
said John Scarpato, President and
Co-Founder of Trucendent. "Expanding the selection of
independent corporate trustees on the Envestnet Trust Services
Exchange gives advisors more tools and expertise for planning the
transfer of wealth for clients and fostering relationships with
their clients' children and grandchildren during the
process."
Sioux Falls, S.D.-based
Sterling Trustees serves as an independent corporate trustee for
high-net-worth families around the world. South Dakota enables trust assets to grow free
of state income tax and capital gains tax and permits trusts with
an unlimited duration—giving beneficiaries ongoing protection from
creditors and ex-spouses in perpetuity. Under South Dakota law, family members and their
professional advisors can also fulfill traditional trustee roles
through directed or delegated trusts. Sterling Trustees serves as
an unbiased partner helping attorneys and advisors create,
transfer, and manage South Dakota
trusts. For more information about the Sterling Trustees offering

advisors to ensure clients' family legacies continue as intended
under their watchful eyes and increase the likelihood of managing
