The pandemic has dramatically altered the status quo, and the wealth management industry is no exception. Institutional and retail investors have changed their expectations and preferences regarding their consumption of investment products.
The pandemic has increased reliance on technology across all industries and functions. In fact, over the years, technology has made great strides, paving the way for creative solutions that have fundamentally changed the way many industries operate. The wealth management industry is the latest in a long line of industries that have evolved and adapted to cutting-edge technological solutions. Wealth managers and financial advisors may no longer need to spend hours on spreadsheets and fact sheets to perform calculations and analysis. These traditional wealth management techniques have become obsolete due to the advent of technologies such as artificial intelligence. Making the right use of technology tools and products to help clients through these difficult times is a unique challenge for wealth managers.
Here are a few ways technology is impacting the wealth management industry:
Automated customer service
Wealth management service providers struggle to meet their clients’ needs around the clock without technology support. The quality of service offered to customers may, over time, suffer from the increasing cost of quality human resources. This is where wealth management has evolved through artificial intelligence and machine learning, two of the most advanced technologies.
A growing number of service providers are now offering AI-powered chatbots to help resolve customer queries. By sending only critical and high-priority questions and requests to the appropriate employees, AI reduces the workload of asset management professionals. Using machine learning, AI can even record and learn from customer interactions over time.
Create unique offers for wealth management clients
Financial wealth managers can create distinctive products for clients using AI technologies. Algorithms decide what investments a client should make or how their money should be distributed based on collected data and client information.
Wealth managers gain because it simplifies their work. Humans can further refine the information, generating personalized product offers for each customer, while AI can only provide tailored product offers for the customer.
Strategy testing
Wealth managers and consulting specialists could manually create wealth development techniques in the past, but there was no way to test them in the real world. Therefore, until these tactics were actually implemented, their effects could not be fully assessed or predicted. This has turned many solutions into successes, often putting clients’ investments at risk.
Financial and wealth building methods can now be broadly assessed in light of the development of wealth management in the market. The ability to pre-test financial plans and strategies has allowed asset managers to make more accurate judgments while posing less risk.
Omnichannel customer engagement approach
Personal interactions will always be of great importance in the wealth management industry, even if digitization is inevitable. Most customers feel even more comfortable and secure managing their finances and assets when they know a human is on the other side of the screen. In order to offer the best of both worlds – online and traditional face-to-face services – adopting an omnichannel or hybrid wealth management service model is an ideal option. The secret to any effective digital wealth management plan will be finding the right mix between robotic and human touchpoints.
Generate value through automation
Internal legacy infrastructures that are incredibly complicated, labor intensive, and inefficient are typical of the wealth management industry. Using the potential of advanced technologies such as AI, machine learning and blockchain, creative fintech and regtech companies have created various automation solutions for incumbents to strengthen their operations and increase their income.
The road to follow!
We are becoming more and more dependent on technology as it advances. The days of typing information into a spreadsheet and calculating numbers using simple formulas are long gone. The workforce is influenced by artificial intelligence, especially in the wealth management industry.
The wealth management industry is characterized by internal legacy infrastructures that are extremely complex, inefficient and cumbersome to manage manually. Innovative fintech and regtech vendors have developed various automation solutions for incumbents to strengthen their operations and increase their profitability by harnessing the power of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and blockchain.
