Technology has most definitely played a critical role in the deepening of financial markets and making it accessible to each one of us. Similarly, it has also changed how financial advisors operate supported by enhancement of the tools available to them to execute and engage with their clients more effectively.
We will touch upon this journey of evolution, and the next leap in operations and servicing aspects of new-age platforms for financial advisors in India.
A quick check on what clients normally do
Distribution of financial products in India has seen multiple leaps in technology contributing to its evolution. The all-new IFA back office system and the best wealth management software are changing the face of the financial advisory ecosystem.
Let us take the Mutual Fund industry as an example to see how the financial intermediation industry has evolved.
We will touch upon this journey of evolution, and the next leap in operations and servicing aspects of new-age platforms for financial advisors in India.
Technological augmentation made the operations of financial advisors more efficient accompanied by evolution of policy frameworks to allow online KYC and account opening. Information became freely available online which enabled the end-investors to become savvier.
Today, online transactions have become the norm. Transaction platforms by the Exchanges have provided a solid technological backbone and have made it simpler to integrate with and provide enhanced functionality.
Each step of this evolution has resulted in
The Future: Platform-as-a- Service
PaaS is the natural progression – a unified platform that provides access to various financial products and digital enablement to both you and your client and takes away the non-value adding tasks, specifically with respect to mid and back office activities. Additionally, it will also be promising as a class-apart investing to broker ARN transfer platform.
· Integrating with vertical aggregators through APIs to create a unified platform for multi-product execution
· Using Machine Learning to resolve errors in RTA files
· Automated unit and fee reconciliations
