Mr. Whiting will report to Dave Welling, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, SS&C's Advisory Market Group.

This dedicated team will provide enhanced support levels and technological guidance tailored to clients' unique business goals, along with regional networking events and other advisory-focused industry initiatives.

"The vision of SS&C's new Advisory Market Group is to align our business around what our clients do rather than around what products they use.  Having worked as a C-suite executive at an independent wealth management firm, Chris is the outstanding candidate to lead our efforts to strengthen and enhance the level of engagement with our advisory client base," said Dave Welling. "This undertaking signals our continued commitment to investing in the advisory market and is representative of the enhanced offerings and additional services that our clients can expect as part of the SS&C family. Chris and his specialized team of advisory client relationship management experts will deliver tremendous value to our clients, providing them with the expertise and perspective that advisors need to thrive in a competitive marketplace."
