OPTIMISING BUSINESS PERFORMANCE THROUGH CX
Tracking client engagement, an important and universally acknowledged challenge, is creeping up the list of CMOs’ priorities. And while many wealth firms, traditionally considered laggards in implementing client engagement programmes, have started to actively gather feedback and track key metrics to improve customers’ experience (CX) – more needs to be done to understand where we are as an industry to be able to better service our clients and their evolving needs.

SUITABILITY - AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS ALL OVER!
Suitability is one of the issues that is at the top of the FCA’s agenda. It comes up time and again on their business plans. According to FCA findings, 96% of advice is suitable. However, even a small proportion of people not agreeing that they were given suitable advice would be a flag. ESMA issued a second paper on suitability recently, and it was aimed at the regulator and broadly in line with the previous paper. Although it isn’t aimed at firms, it is useful for them to see how the regulator will approach it. The FCA is scheduled to do another review in 2019, so now is a good time for firms to reassess and revamp their approach to suitability assessment.

THE OPTIMAL DIGITAL BUSINESS STRATEGY. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FIRM'S CULTURE!
The industry approaches digital from various angles. Different firms focus on different aspects, but mostly digital is spoken about in the context of client experience.

WILL IT BE YOU OR THE ALGORITHM?
Improvements in artificial intelligence and the growing use of algorithms are beginning to alter the way financial advice is delivered to end-clients. Just how far reaching digital adoption and the impact of automation will be on advisor client relationships remains to be seen, but the wealth industry must ensure they are at the forefront of digital adoption.
