Markets, Models and Tech

It’s 2021. Let’s make this year different than the last.
The volatility we saw as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marked a turning point in how advisors are thinking about their practices. Many advisors are learning from 2020 and making strategic changes to add the most value for what clients need today. We learned that the most successful firms are using a combination of models and technology to drive scale, simplify their practices, and implement a transparent and defined investment process. In fact, 92% of advisors believe that models improved their practice in 1H 2020.1
Incorporating models, as well as technology, into your practice can help make things more transparent and uncover key areas your clients want to discuss, like risk. It can also minimize prep time, helping you to maximize time with clients and add value to your relationships and your business.
Read up on the latest trends we’re seeing, our views on the future, and the resources you have at your disposal to help you make a more meaningful impact in every investment decision and client interaction.
