Breakfast Briefing – Survival of the Fittest: The Rise of the Omni-Channel Advisor
Wednesday - 16th March 2016
Carlton Club
69 St James's Street, London, SW1A 1PJ
Overview
Financial services institutions of all kinds, and wealth managers in particular, are struggling to determine the best channels to reach the social, mobile client of today. Consumer expectations are changing with every technology innovation, while disruptors like robo-advisors and direct-to-consumer offerings continue to raise the bar on digital engagement ever-higher.
Wealth managers are now moving towards truly omni-channel client servicing and communication models, with many achieving huge engagement and efficiency gains from empowering advisors in this way. With digital innovation no longer a “nice to have”, learning how to leverage a plethora of new tools both compliantly and cost-effectively is now an urgent priority across the sector.
Drawing on extensive industry experience and technical expertise, our panel of thought-leaders will tackle:
- Potential outcomes from omni-channel client communication and servicing models
- What business leaders and marketers must do to help advisors adapt and increase productivity
- How wealth managers can implement an omni-channel approach and adapt it over time to maximise ROI and minimise risk to the business
