In today's ever-changing financial landscape, traditional players in the industry, including securities firms and online brokers, are undergoing a remarkable transformation. They are expanding their focus to include comprehensive wealth management divisions, offering end-to-end solutions to their clients.
While venturing into wealth management, these institutions face a critical challenge: providing clients with the ability to build resilient portfolios. One major obstacle they encounter is limited access to alternative investments, which often come with high barriers to entry. This is where partnering with a platform that offers seamless access and reduced barriers to private markets becomes vital.
Advantages of platform partnerships
Diverse supply of investment options across asset classes
Teaming up with a platform to offer clients access to private markets ensures a continuous supply of fresh investment opportunities. These platforms have dedicated teams of experts who curate a diverse range of investment options across sectors and asset classes, such as commercial paper, private equities, and hedge funds. Wealth managers can provide their clients with a wide selection of potential investments that align with their objectives and risk profiles, conveniently available on the platform.
Streamlined user experience with minimal disruptions
In the digital era, a seamless user experience is crucial. Partnering with a platform that offers a plug-and-play solution allows wealth managers to integrate offerings seamlessly into their existing systems. By leveraging well-harnessed technology, wealth managers can provide their clients with a highly impactful overall experience through a user-friendly interface that simplifies the investment process on a digital platform.
Elimination of resource-intensive manual processes
Accessing private markets often requires significant resources, which can be a challenge for small to mid-size wealth managers. Building specialized capabilities to originate investment opportunities may not be economically feasible for them. Partnering with a platform that provides access to private markets addresses this challenge by eliminating time-consuming manual processes.
These platforms act as gateways, streamlining the investment lifecycle from deal sourcing to execution. Wealth managers can rely on the platform's expertise, tapping into a curated selection of investment opportunities without the need for extensive in-house capabilities. This saves valuable time and resources, enabling wealth managers to focus on delivering exceptional service to their clients.
Unlocking secondary trading through technology
Traditionally, private market investments lacked liquidity and flexibility. However, some platforms leverage technologies like blockchain to enable secondary trading. This breakthrough feature enhances liquidity within private markets, offering investors greater flexibility in managing their portfolios. Partnering with such platforms allows wealth managers to provide their clients with added convenience and liquidity that was previously unavailable in private markets.
Flexible account management options
Wealth managers operate with diverse business models, licenses, and regulatory requirements. The right platform understands these unique needs and offers flexible account management options. Wealth managers can choose to allow end-investors to manage their own holdings on the platform, giving them direct control over their investments. Alternatively, relationship managers can create and manage sub-accounts on behalf of their clients, executing trades and performing fund transfers. This flexibility ensures a more seamless and customized experience for investors while meeting the specific requirements of wealth managers.
In the realm of wealth management, accessing alternative investments can be complex. However, by partnering with platforms that offer access to private markets, wealth managers can overcome these barriers and provide their clients with unparalleled investment opportunities. These partnerships help wealth managers unlock new business potential, improve operational efficiencies, open doors to additional revenue streams, increase client engagement, and ultimately differentiate themselves in the competitive wealth management landscape.
By embracing these partnerships, wealth managers can elevate their services and empower their clients to navigate the dynamic landscape of private markets more effectively.
