Overview
Making best use of the vast amount of data held on and about clients is key to delivering a top quality service. And how and what to communicate to clients demonstrates the depth and integrity that wealth managers bring to the relationship.
This vital task is only achievable through the judicious use of technology. However, increasing national and international regulatory pressures must also be taken into account when making decisions in this field, which every wealth management organisation must get right.
