Financial advisers regularly undertake an exploration of client goals to gain a better understanding of their clients. However, the targeting of specific financial goals in portfolio management is still not commonplace. The reliance on risk profile, in effect, dislocates client goals from Portfolio Management and makes it harder for investor clients to understand the value of financial advice.
Market leading investment and superannuation platform HUB24 has added Dynamic Asset Managed Account portfolios to its platform IDPS Choice menu.
Superannuation and pension accounts form a significant portion of financial advisory firms’ business. The vast majority of retirees have common core needs and concerns:
The world today is ruled by clients. Clients, customers, consumers; call them what you may. Never before have clients had so much access to information, or been so highly empowered to make informed purchase decisions. This requirement is the new norm for adviser-client retention and business growth.
There are tremendous benefits available to financial advisers and their clients by linking portfolio management directly to client goals.
Financial advisers can sometimes struggle to communicate the total value of advice to prospective clients - particularly in the face of concerted campaigns around industry super, index funds and emerging low-cost Robo advisers. However, a new report by Russel Investments has made it easier for advisers to create a clear, credible and attractive client value proposition that they can use to promote their business.
A thriving financial advice business looks very different today than it did only a few years ago. Increasingly stringent regulations and higher client expectations have left traditional advice firms struggling to make headway - with thousands exiting the industry. Interestingly, advisers prepared to adopt a modern financial planner business model are quickly filling the void and boosting their profitability at the same time.
The COVID-19 pandemic has upended world economies, bringing with it sweeping changes in the way money is managed. Strategies that worked well to generate wealth in the past are likely to bring disappointing results in the years ahead, making it vital for financial advisers to adjust how they approach portfolio management.
Being in lockdown can bring feelings of uncertainty and despondency, but taking advantage of the imposed downtime to work on your advice business may help instil hope and position your firm for a brighter future once the pandemic is behind us.
