San Francisco, CA – Wealth management is undoubtedly a key sector in the financial services industry. The sector is undergoing considerable changes as new disruptive trends are taking shape: digital transformation and customer experience.
According to Paula de Vos of Synergist Wealth Advisors LLC, players in the sector need to keep up with the rapid market innovation and client demands. Thus, it is vital to embrace new technological solutions to enhance the quality of services.
The emergence of robotic-advisors and electronic platforms is a key factor in reshaping the core operating model of countless firms. Paula de Vos emphasizes the need for service providers to reinvent services by providing greater personalization.
Paula told the Journal of Financial Planning that planners maximize value for clients by maintaining high levels of objectivity. She added that planners’ objectivity helped clients counteract instinctive behaviors, which can undermine investment portfolios’ performance.
As an experienced wealth management advisor, Paula sees the considerable benefits of educating clients about behavioral finance. She believes that doing so leaves clients open to making the necessary adjustments to ensure success.
Her comments, which were inspired by Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman were quoted in the book ‘The History of Financial Planning: The Transformation of Financial Services.’
These are the key disruptive trends that were identified by Paula de Vos.
