Enhancing your value proposition and growing revenues by augmenting client engagement
Even before Covid there were tremendous cost income pressures – we have barely touched the tip of the iceberg of some of the likely influences that will enhance these pressures – Mifid II increased transparency for fees, and we haven’t even seen the full outcome of that yet. As an industry – despite what we say about brand and client service, we have a problem with lack of differentiation – are products innovative? In many cases, they are par for the course. Some firms have been stagnant in terms of organic growth – the response to the Owen James scene-setter survey shows firms are concerned about client acquisition as one of the key focus areas. And now in the Covid world, nothing has fundamentally changed – yes, we have got a little better with some digital engagement with clients, and some implementations have accelerated, but the needs of firms and clients have not changed.
