The Practice Innovation Index is a digital analytic tool that benchmarks key traits and characteristics of financial practices across four key areas - business development, wealth management, client service and practice management.

The Practice Innovation Index begins with an assessment of the financial practice, benchmarking the top performing financial professionals, in the four key areas of their practice. Responses are scored and benchmarked by the Practice Innovation Index's proprietary methodology, which is powered by Cerulli's data from over 3,000 financial professionals. Each question is scored against the benchmark, and results are shown for each of the four categories and in aggregate, highlighting how the financial practice ranks among peers. Financial professionals are then shown a customized roadmap designed to leverage their strengths and address opportunities for improvement. For more complex financial practices, advisors could be eligible for access to Invesco's dedicated coaching to help create actionable plans.
