RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Wealthcare, creator of the GDX360® platform and long-time proponent of goals-driven advice, announced that it has hired Matthew Regan to serve as the firm's President. Ron Madey, CFA, will continue his vital leadership role as Wealthcare's Chief Investment Officer.

His background in technology and operations leadership will allow him to build on Wealthcare's success of growing to more than $2 billion combined AUM, including more than $1 billion AUM growth in Wealthcare's hybrid RIA since the beginning of 2015. Regan will also bring a fresh perspective to the firm's offering.

"Wealthcare's impressive growth over the past several years makes this an ideal time to expand our leadership team," said Kevin Rafferty, Chief Executive Officer of Financeware. Wealthcare is a portfolio company of Financeware, a new fintech platform company from NewSpring Holdings LLC. "Matt's strong operational leadership experience in the registered investment advisor space will complement and strengthen our executive team's depth of expertise while positioning Wealthcare for continued, sustainable growth. We also look forward to leveraging Ron's investment expertise to best serve the firm's advisor and investor clients as CIO."
