The Account Operations Team is responsible for handling all client‑directed requests on existing AssetMark accounts. Requests may include investment changes, withdrawals, or beneficiary updates. The team’s primary goal is to ensure requests are processed timely, accurately, and in alignment with the client’s intent. Key performance measures include accuracy, productivity, contact quality, team engagement, and Advisor NPS (loyalty) survey results.

Teams are composed of associates who focus on specific work types. Work group assignments are based on proficiency, capacity needs, tenure, and skill. Work groups include:
Money In, Money Out, Move Money, Maintenance/Coordinator, and Reports/Audit & Controls.

Money In

This team handles all incoming funds to the firm. Primary work types include checks, wires, one‑time ACH requests, and automatic investment plans. The team works closely to ensure funds are allocated and coded correctly to existing accounts and verifies accounts meet investment minimums for trading. This work is vital to AssetMark’s growth, as incoming assets directly impact firm success.

Money Out

This team handles all outgoing distributions. Primary work types include withdrawals, cash and in‑kind terminations, systematic withdrawals, and RMDs. The team ensures funds are distributed accurately and timely. Associates must have strong knowledge of tax withholding rules, IRS regulations, and trading/settlement timelines. When clients need to distribute funds, it represents a key moment in their relationship with AssetMark.

Move Money

This team manages movement of assets across accounts. Primary work types include investment changes, journals, and divorce/beneficiary claim transfers. This work type is highly volatile and can surge during market shifts or bulk Advisor requests. Requests may range from simple (e.g., Profile 1 → Profile 2 changes) to highly complex (e.g., in‑kind death transfers across multiple accounts). Due to trading implications, accuracy and timeliness are critical.
