Challenges in wealth management
The dynamics of the global markets posed as many challenges as opportunities to wealth managers. After 2009, new markets began to emerge. With significant growth in the emerging markets, there was a definitive growth in the High Networth Individual (HNI) wealth as well as population. The products and services demanded by HNIs were much more sophisticated and complex than those offered under normal banking services. With these emerging market trends and demands, wealth management firms must mitigate three key challenges—tweaking strategies to include new technology into the decision making process, managing client expectations with changing environments, and staying relevant to the next generation of investors.
Driving powerful decisions underpinned by analytics
With a technology revolution under way, wealth management firms have a wealth of data at their disposal. Increasing digitization and the proliferation of the Internet provide a broad spectrum of data sources and the large volumes of data generated offer a goldmine to financial advisors. Leveraging this data, or rather, big data, to create differentiated value for clients is an opportunity they cannot afford to miss.
Analytics is no longer a value addition that wealth managers can offer to their clients; it’s a way of life and of business. For wealth management companies, decoding the propensity of an account to succeed, determining the probability of retaining a client, enhancing the clients’ ability to aggregate information about their assets, comparing the performance of wealth managers, and focusing on the top performing wealth managers are only some of the advantages that data-driven analytics can offer. Overall, as we discuss in our white paper, this is certainly the most exciting time for wealth management firms and their clients.
