A Forward-Looking Technology Platform Architecture for Wealth Managers
Having a sound technology platform architecture in place is key to support today’s investment management business. A forward-looking platform should separate business requirements from technology aspects. It should also encapsulate complexity and be flexible enough to allow changes in supported offerings and associated business processes to be implemented through configuration management rather than software releases. A three-layer application architecture composed of a i) business layer, ii) a functional layer encapsulating complexity, and iii) a service layer allows leveraging in a simple and efficient way services and data, fulfills these criteria.
Gaining Trust through Innovation in Wealth Management
Wealth management is about trust and delivering on promises. Successful wealth management products and solutions focus on managing the trust bank accounts of their clients. Forecasting markets and constructing risk optimized portfolios is no longer the only area of innovation. Wealth managers need to focus on all components of the investment management value chain to (re-)gain trust. Innovation is about teamwork putting the client to the forefront and transforming ideas into innovative products in which the client trusts and this is willing to pay an above market fee.
Turning Client Risk Profiling into Competitive Advantage
Successfully servicing wealth management clients requires an in-depth understanding of their needs with respect to return expectations but also with respect to their risk perception. The process of determining the client’s risk tolerance is a key component of successfully advising clients. Best practice in determining the client’s risk tolerance is using a psychometric questionnaire. The risk profiling spider model assesses the client’s risk tolerance along the five dimensions, i) expectation bias, ii) anchoring, iii) loss frequency, iv) loss magnitude, and v) reactivity. The process of risk profiling can be turned into a competitive advantage by advising on solutions that match the client’s risk profiling spider.
