Aztec Software (an educational software company focused on helping adults make generational change through academic upskilling, workforce, and job-specific certification preparation, and wealth management and financial literacy programming) announced that it has acquired Financial Fitness Group (FFG), a provider of industry-leading interactive financial wellness solutions.
FFG will be combined with iGrad, an Aztec brand and web-based financial literacy platform that provides lifetime personalized financial wellness education. And the combination brings together two highly complementary businesses with a shared mission to enrich lives by making financial education personal, easy, effective, and enjoyable. Financial Fitness Group is a leading FINRA-reviewed financial content provider that helps thousands of advisors and financial service firms attract, build, educate, and cultivate client relationships.
The company collaborates with Morningstar to provide an expansive library of financial content solutions to assist financial advisors with educating investors. And their content offerings include the U.S. Andex Chart, a respected and in-demand financial illustration for advisors globally, which FFG has the exclusive right to reproduce and sell. And brokers, RIAs, individual investors, and industry leaders widely recognize the Morningstar brand and FFG as an independent, trusted, and objective source of investment information and financial education.
iGrad and its Enrich platform serve over 1.2 million learners across 600 schools, employers, financial institutions, and other organizations. And the addition of FFG further expands iGrad’s vast library of digital financial education content and tools to include hundreds of FINRA-reviewed content pieces, including over 200 financial charts and graphics, and 18 FINRA-reviewed financial presentations supported by Morningstar data.
