NEW HAVEN, Conn. - TelAve -- Plootus, a free AI-powered retirement planning platform and SEC-registered investment adviser, today announced it has been named a 2026 Global Recognition Award winner in the Innovation category for building the first consumer fintech platform to deliver fiduciary-quality, employer-plan-specific retirement advice at scale.

The Global Recognition Award is among the most competitive honors in the business world. All nominees are evaluated using the Rasch measurement model, a rigorous psychometric framework that creates objective scoring across categories and fields.

"This award reflects the core problem we set out to solve from day one," said Lisa Paine, Partnerships Manager at Plootus. "Millions of American workers have 401k, 403b, and 457 plans but no way to get personalized guidance based on the actual funds inside their specific plan. We built Plootus to close that gap — and this recognition confirms that the approach is working."

While most retirement tools offer only generic, asset-class-level recommendations, Plootus built a proprietary database of thousands of employer-sponsored plans that enables personalized portfolio allocations based on the specific fund lineup each user actually has access to. The platform's SEC-registered investment adviser status ensures users receive fiduciary-quality guidance, and its unified financial dashboard gives everyday workers the kind of integrated financial visibility previously reserved for high-net-worth clients.

"Plootus has demonstrated exactly the kind of world-class innovation this award is designed to recognize," said Alex Sterling, spokesperson for Global Recognition Awards. "Its ability to deliver fiduciary-quality, plan-specific retirement guidance to millions of everyday workers represents a genuine and measurable advancement in financial services."
