摘要
第1章 投資商品的分銷商必須強化諮詢力
- 消費者對於理財專員的信賴感相當薄弱
- 有些人認為理專會因為自己的利益而採取行動,消費者對於服務的信賴感減低
- 消費者決定購入商品時,也會使用其他的金融情報
- 在某些動向需要透明性時,也就意味著理專需要讓客戶感覺自身存在的價值
- 法規機關希望業者提高透明性以及強化受託者義務
- 理專並不是「將產品售出後就結束」,而是應該以提供優質的諮詢為主,並與顧客維持良好關係
第2章 櫃臺自動化能夠讓效率及諮詢業務品質提高
- 投資理財規劃與投資組合的建構都能夠經由軟體工具來強化
- 更客觀的投資理財規劃及圖表工具能夠強化諮詢
- 企業強化風險檔案,在資產/分配及投資組合當中應該要考量風險
- 理專經由增加與客戶的互動,必須要在各管道之中設立可以強化顧客服務的平台
- 透過CRM技術可以改善關係
- 理專的平台應該是可以支持效率的
- 多重管道的支援在線上服務是最為重要的
第3章 提案
- 針對企業的提案
- 企業也必須將整體考量櫃臺專員
- 在平台的評價當中不該僅重視事業機能,也該重視柔軟性
- 針對廠商的提案
- 廠商必須要支援轉移至比多重管道更複雜的諮詢構造
- 供應商應該要關注SaaS設備的支援

Abstract
Introduction
The marketplace for investment sales and advice is about to get more
challenging. Several markets are shifting from commission to adviser charging
models and most are demanding greater levels of adviser disclosure. With
general consumer sentiment, distributors are going to need to significantly
strengthen the financial planning experience. This report examines how this
should be done.
Scope
- Coverage of the investment markets across Europe, North America and Asia
Pacific
- Drill-down in consumer investment demands in Australia, Germany, the UK
and US
- Examination of the role of financial planning across the investment sales
and advice lifecycle, including client management, origination and review
Highlights
For many advisors moving to an ongoing relationship model, managing a high
frequency of client contact is challenging given the high typical
client-to-advisor ratios and significant advisor compliance workloads. Firms
need to support advisors by providing ' workbench' -type support platforms
that combine CRM sales and client management functionality.
Regulatory attention on financial advice, in response to misselling scandals,
has created a common goal of greater disclosure and desire for stronger
advice. This is leading a number of countries to tackle the remuneration
conflict-of-interest issue head-on, requiring advisors to move from provider
commission to advisor charging models.

INVESTMENT DISTRIBUTORS NEED TO ENHANCE ADVISORY CAPABILITIES

information to support purchasing decisions

advice

- Most regulators are looking to enhance disclosure and client suitability
requirements
