Client engagement is crucial in the financial advisory process – it’s precisely what differentiates the financial advisory relationship from automated, robo-advisor services that are increasingly available in the marketplace. When clients actively participate in and own their financial planning process and data, advisors get more insight and can deliver a more meaningful and engaging experience. Only by doing so can advisors establish a unique value proposition and maintain a client-centric approach that surpasses the capabilities of fully automated platforms. Listen to the full conversation between Asset-Map’s Adam Holt and Responsive AI’s Day Wachell.

Personalization is one of the most important trends in wealth advisory today. Clients increasingly expect their services to be personalized, customized and tailored to their unique needs because so many of the other technology driven services they consume are already doing this. Segmenting clients by age, gender or virtually any other demographic category and then assuming every individual in those groups wants to receive the same type of communication, at the same frequency, on the same channel, no longer cuts it. In this episode, we talk with influential marketer, April Rudin, about the personalization of wealth advisory services and how advice providers can and should be communicating with their clients.
