Various players want to take a share of the private wealth market that increases year over year. It is time to differentiate to succeed, and consider integrated wealth solution, writes Joachim Rosli.

The Nordic market for wealth management and investment services has become very competitive during the last years.

It is full of Nordic and international players with various offerings, all wanting to take a share of the private wealth market that increases year over year.

But what do clients want? Understanding the needs for integrated wealth solution and model portfolios helps wealth management companies to differentiate from their competitors.

Discretionary, advisory and self-services

Clients’ demands for improved tools for investors, advisors, discretionary asset managers and client managers are increasing. New hybrid-advisory and discretionary models blending the expertise of human advisors with efficient digital tools to provide customised investment solutions has become more common.

Combining services creates a comprehensive wealth management experience for clients. By integrating both self-services, advisory, and discretionary services in the same platform, private clients can achieve a well-rounded, dynamic approach to asset management. This maximizes their investment potential while aligning with personal preferences and financial goals.

Streamlining the operations with use of model portfolios

Asset managers and investors can operate efficiently with model portfolios - the tool to manage investments. Model portfolios offer a balanced, professional, and cost-effective way for investors to grow their wealth. Also, they enable scaling and support for larger volumes of clients.

Model portfolio benefits include

  • Diversification. It can be offered with a mix of asset classes including funds, equities, and bonds to spread risk and optimize returns.
  • Expert management. It can be designed and managed by financial experts who continuously monitor market conditions and adjust the portfolio with investment goals.
  • Cost efficiency. By pooling investments and resources, investors can benefit from lower transaction costs and management fees compared to individual investment strategies.
  • Consistency. It normally follows a disciplined investment approach, reducingemotional decision-making that can negatively impact investment performance.
  • Accessibility. It provides access to sophisticated investment strategies that might otherwise be unavailable to individual investors, making it easier for them to achieve their financial objectives.
  • Exceptions. To scale the operations, using fewer models can be crucial. However, the solution used should support exceptions if needed.

Integrated order and trade processing

In addition to the use of model portfolios, integrated order and trade processing has become more important to handle investments efficiently and streamline operations. By having an enterprise solution that combines this with the portfolio management, customers can minimize errors and reduce costs.
