Finding the signal in the noise
The digital revolution continues to sweep the wealth industry, bringing with it change at unprecedented levels to match the needs of an evolving breed of tech-savvy investors. At the same time, the data revolution continues apace, with ever-increasing volumes of data and content always available.
This data delivers significant opportunities for wealth advisors and self-directed investors to understand more about potential investments than ever before and can power their investment decisions to maximise financial well-being.
On the other hand, too much data can lead to challenges. Not only must volumes of data be managed, but the ability to find the signal in the noise has become crucial to success in the wealth space.
The reality is that advisors and investors face a data and information overload, one that is compounded by other factors, including increased market volatility and the relentless pace of change in highly dynamic markets.
Making confident investment decisions
Wealth advisors and investors need to be able to pinpoint relevant information within volumes of incoming data so that they can correctly identify opportunities, navigate risks and make more confident investment decisions. In a fast-paced market, they also need to be able to do this at speed.
Filtering through all the data takes time; so, to generate confident ideas quickly and efficiently, advisors and investors need to be able to look at unbiased, quantitative research and ratings alongside traditional, trusted financial information, analytics and insights that are all targeted to portfolio, interests, goals and tolerances.
Mobile access to portfolio information, real-time data, trading solutions and more is essential to gather and distil the data required to make confident investments.
A recent Refinitiv report found that 46 percent of investors access account information via a mobile app. Seventy-two percent of millennials and 56 percent in the 35-54 age bracket use mobile apps to access their account information, more than any other channel.
