2019 WealthTech Symposium

Technology That Enhances the Human Touch

The role of Family Wealth Advisor demands the uniquely human ability to synthesize a client’s individual, family and business needs into a cohesive strategy for managing family dynamics and wealth.   The Advisor listens to intimate personal issues, serves as a liaison across generations in family meetings, and solves for challenges ranging from the objective to the emotional.  Such contextual relationships cannot be automated. 

Yet all around us, digitized advice and process automation are combining to produce efficient and cost-effective financial planning solutions for clients.  Information can be produced on-demand, and delivered wherever, whenever and however the client chooses.  

Some believe this evolving tech-enabled playing field will render the role of the human Advisor obsolete.  We see a very different and promising future unfolding.

Advisors aren’t be replaced, they’re being re-priced. 

Technology cannot replace the human touch.  Paradoxically, the ubiquity of technology is enabling Advisors to customize their service offerings and personalize the client experience to a degree that was previously not possible.  Propelling this trend are exciting advances in the field of behavioral science that are enhancing Advisors’ ability to derive increasingly sophisticated, personalized client insights and discern unspoken client needs like never before.

In short, as technology augments the Advisor’s tool kit across the value chain, those willing to embrace these cutting-edge resources stand to gain a disproportionally large slice of a growing economic pie in years to come.

Carl Knecht, Financial Technology Executive and Consultant, Risclarity

Shifting customer expectations, increasing demand for self-service, and growing competition create a challenging environment for Wealth Management professionals. The status quo is further complicated by emerging technologies like robo-advisor solutions, which hold proven appeal for millennials and high-net-worth (HNWs) clients alike. Wealth Management players must transform their business strategies, operating models, and technology stacks in order to stay relevant and competitive.

The Trifecta of Disruption

How Technology, Innovation and the Quest for Scalability Are Changing Family Wealth

Moderator: Bill Wyman, CEO, Summitas  

Paul J. Ferguson, Managing Director, Schwab Advisor Family Office

Margaret J. Hartigan, CEO & Founder, Marstone, Inc. 

Adam P. Newell, CFA, CFP®, Partner, Director of Consulting - The Wealth Office™, DiMeo Schneider & Associates, L.L.C. 

Technology, M&A, innovative service models, and evolving demographics all contribute to the rapidly changing wealth management landscape. The ever-important quest for scalability, new client profiles, different fee structures, new investments…the list of disruptions goes on and on. As these forces shift the dynamics of the industry, the ability of advisors to play enhanced roles in their clients’ lives has become even more essential. 

Robos aren't replacing human advisors - they’re repricing them. The growing acceptance of WealthTech encourages firms to delegate financial planning, advice, and wealth management tasks to the machines, and let people do what they do best - relationship management. 

Join us in a conversation with your family wealth peers on what is working and what isn’t, where technology is bringing the most value to advisors, and how all this change is impacting the client experience.

Algorithms Don’t Have Feelings

Using behavioral science to deepen relationships with clients and grow your firm

Leon Morales, Managing Director, DNA Behavior 

Behavioral science has the potential to rock the family wealth industry to its core. Behavioral economics confirms that people make wholly irrational decisions. Family wealth firms must realize that big data isn’t enough to predict client behavior – you need to understand how to improve client engagement, and how to frame recommendations to get clients to change their behaviors. Human nature is unchangeable, but firms can manipulate the environment in order to influence their clients’ decisions. 

Behavioral science carries particular importance in the family wealth industry due to the emotional approach people often take to finances. Family Wealth advisors know their role requires a unique skill-set – the aptitude to effectively manage their clients’ wealth as well as their personal lives. In this industry there are always emotions involved. Advisors should take those emotions into account in order to assist clients in making better decisions - understanding how your clients react to important life decisions is essential for giving effective advice. 

Forward-thinking advisors utilize a hybrid of behavioral science and financial technology to deepen their relationships with clients, and grow their firms. Understanding clients’ emotions is vital when advising families on how to safely transfer wealth to the next generation.

Climbing to New Heights

Why relationships will win in the age of digital advice 

Moderator: Leon Morales, Managing Director, DNA Behavior

Eben Burr, Managing Director, Toews Corporation

Dan Egan, Managing Director of Behavioral Finance and Investing, Betterment

Michael Leung, Behavioral Product Manager, Morningstar

Define yourself solely as a finance professional, and sophisticated algorithms will slowly erode your relevance as an advisor. But algorithms can’t comprehend the intricacies of your clients’ lives like you can. The future of your business depends on your ability to implement solutions that facilitate your capacity to build successful, long-term relationships with your clients. 

The firms best positioned for growth and profitability today are already investing in technology that services clients better, faster, more efficiently, and less expensively. However, wealth management professionals must surpass the current tech wave – not merely “catch up.” And doing so requires investment in behavioral analytics.  

Listen to three panelists who manage the behavioral science integrations at their firms discuss why it is so important, what they’ve learned, and how they do it.

alterDomus

Institutional investors own a broad set of assets including marketable investments, direct debt, alternatives, real estate, direct investments, collections and personal assets. Most investors rely on multiple systems, spreadsheets and a great deal of manual labor to provide accounting and reporting.

Based on our experience, the main issues faced by institutional investors today are:

  • Complex entity structures
  • Diverse portfolio asset classes
  • Data transparency for family members and staff
  • Reporting for individuals, trusts, partnerships, and investments
  • Investment book of record (IBOR) 
  • Accounting book of record (ABOR).

To address these, we developed a proprietary portfolio, partnership, and general ledger accounting and reporting solution called Alter Domus Wealth Solution (ADWS).

Additionally, ADWS grants access to information to meet IBOR needs.

With integrated consolidation and look-through tools, you will have a better view on your holdings as an investor, entity, portfolio, firm and custom groupings.

iPaladin

When modern office ecosystems replaced paper-based record keeping with digital tools like email, file servers, and spreadsheets, they began creating technical debt. That debt has continued to compound over the years. This has resulted in information being spread over many disparate systems harming communication and record keeping practices while negatively influencing sustainability, particularly for family offices.

iPaladin was born in 2010 out of a necessity to work more efficiently in an industry where lost time equals lost opportunities. The growing challenges posed by inefficient, disconnected systems were seen as problems to be solved and not just headaches to be ignored.  Using a private knowledge blockchain iPaladin empowers people within the family office ecosystem to break free of these challenges and experience greater focus on client services and value. iPaladin unifies the ecosystem on a common-knowledge interface that optimizes the way everyone works together eliminating the unnecessary administrative tasks introduced by inefficient technology.   Common work and communication are efficiently structured, streamlined and managed.  iPaladin compiles it all into a context-based interface that mirrors institutional knowledge; thus eliminating the distractions and wasted time spent toggling between a multitude of applications searching for relevant information.

iPaladin is helmed by Jill Creager, a 25-year veteran of the family office industry.  Jill has used iPaladin in her own multi-family office for more than 8 years. She has seen a profound and positive impact on her business through the contextually relevant knowledge and automation provided by iPaladin. Moreover, she has been liberated to focus her time and talents where they create the most value for her clients.

iPaladin is built on a private blockchain framework and employs military-grade security. It is infinitely configurable and can effectively adapt to the needs of any family office making it the most powerful family office management system on the market today.

Indeed, our safety measures either meet or exceed those of our partner banks -- as they must under law.  What this means for you is simple: Your data is safer with us than it is on your own premises.

We are the only independent provider of this specialized software that is truly focused on the Family Office and Business-Management market space.
