SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 11, 2012) - Personal Capital's new iPhone app won "Best of Show" at FinovateSpring 2012, the world's foremost platform for financial innovation. Personal Capital now has two consecutive Finovate awards. It won "Best of Show" at FinovateFall 2011 for the official launch of the company's online wealth management service.

"Since our September 2011 launch, we've made rapid progress towards being the one-stop solution for clients to manage their complex financial lives," said Personal Capital CEO Bill Harris. "The future holds even more exciting developments from Personal Capital, so stay tuned."

In less than a year since launch, Personal Capital is recognized as a leader in consumer-focused financial services. "Personal Capital is the embodiment of multiple trends in finance: transparency, high tech integrated into high touch, superb user experience, and all-in-one solutions," said Finovate founder Jim Breune.

Excerpts from media coverage of the iPhone app include:

  • Getting one picture of your entire financial portfolio is not a very common thing. That's where Personal Capital wants to come in. The company, which launched last year, provides a suite of software aimed at helping people manage their investments, banking and personal finances -- no matter where they are -- through one central suite of web and mobile apps. - TechCrunch

  • On the tech side is an app that gathers all your financial information in a single place and not only lets you see everything all at once, but makes it easier to manage that money as well. On the "touch" side are registered investment advisers, available by phone, that users can tap into for personalized advice and portfolio management. - Fast Company

  • It's obvious that Personal Capital had looked at all of the personal finance applications on the market at this time, because its new app manages to avoid all of the pitfalls inherent in the others... While most personal finance apps I've used are a nightmare to move within, Personal Capital made it possible to dive deeper into each account with a single tap. - TUAW

  • Financial app Personal Capital is a one-stop location for all your financial information, no matter how many accounts of various types you might have. By integrating all your accounts and information into the app, you can easily set budgets, see where your bank accounts are, keep track of transactions in order to prevent fraud, and keep an eye on your investments to see how they're performing at any given time. - Appolicious
