Overview
Recent industry research has shown that wealth managers who combine insights from client data with service expertise are the most likely to achieve competitive market advantage over their peers. Early adopters of these techniques are able to provide greater value to clients at every touch point, while firms with collaboration between sales teams and financial data are better able to pinpoint and analyse performance levels of both advisors and products.
This panel will investigate the extent to which business growth is inhibited by poor resource utilisation, and how a sophisticated approach to the analysis and visualisation of client data can reveal new business opportunity, help develop more effectively targeted products, and improve client experience as a differentiator. Areas to be covered include:
- Identifying missed avenues for profit growth by bridging financial and sales data
- Potential value to be extracted from overlooked advisor and data resources
- Tackling legacy data issues in a post-acquisition/merger environment
- Segmenting client base for more effective business development; developing targeted products and tailored marketing engagement
- Profitability and operational efficiency outcomes from smart resource allocation to most productive areas
- Potential for improved client experience via enhanced services and data visualisation
