BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - April 13, 2016) - Vestmark, the leading SaaS provider of comprehensive unified wealth management solutions for financial advisors and institutions, today announced that it closed a $30 million dollar investment from global growth equity investor Summit Partners. Vestmark will use the new funding to further accelerate growth by increasing investment in sales, marketing, and software development. It will also provide the company with greater flexibility to explore strategic opportunities and international markets.
"Our goal is to enable top tier financial institutions to scale delivery of their advice across all channels and client relationships," said John Lunny, CEO of Vestmark. "This funding not only allows Vestmark to continue our growth trajectory but also to explore additional avenues of growth. We will continue to set the standard for financial technology innovation as we advance our offering and address new markets."

Vestmark has received numerous accolades and industry recognition from the Money Management Institute, the Bank Insurance and Securities Association (BISA), CEB TowerGroup and other industry thought leaders.
Financial institutions are reevaluating their operating models as investors demand an improved user experience and industry regulations continue to evolve.
