Our Story
The Advyzon team works together on continuous development

Advyzon Investment Management's parent company and technology platform, Advyzon, was founded in 2012 by Hailin Li – former Senior Vice president, Advisor Solutions at Morningstar. Hailin was the chief architect behind Morningstar Office from 2003 to 2010 when he left to branch out on his own and start Advyzon. Advyzon's purpose is to provide an intuitive, comprehensive technology for financial advisory firms.

In 2022, Advyzon expanded with the creation of a new subsidiary, Advyzon Investment Management (AIM). AIM is a turnkey asset management program (TAMP) providing disciplined investment management solutions integrated within Advyzon's single-source code platform. Through AIM, advisors are able to streamline and outsource a variety of investment and operational functions, freeing up capacity to help scale their business.

Our co-founders and leadership team are entrepreneurs with decades of experience in the financial services and fintech industries. They have consistently been advocates in the marketplace and on behalf of financial advisors. With a continuous focus on innovation and providing superior service, we strive to be the best partner for investment management and operations outsourcing.

We see advisors as champions for their clients and communities. They are philanthropic supporters and financial mentors who take the time to educate and serve a critical role in our society. They solve issues related to retirement and education planning, and guide clients through challenging decisions around divorce, incapacitation, and death. Our mission at AIM is to help financial advisors better perform in this capacity.
