Building the Digital Advice Firm of the Future

Racheal Collogan

Business Development Manager

Organisations wanting to undergo digital transformation encounter multiple challenges, whether that be lack of focus, cultural resistance and funding limitations. For many, prioritising digital transformation is a big challenge.

However there are a group of financial advice firms, AdviceTech Stars, who have embraced digital transformation, and do it well.

In this presentation, we draw on the experiences of these firms and our latest AdviceTech research to introduce a new framework for advice firms to support their digital and technology transformation efforts.

For example, we examine how leadership plays a crucial role in setting the tone for an adaptive culture and provide the necessary resources for upskilling.

You will learn how shifts in your culture, leadership model and mindset, capital allocation and change management processes to supercharge your digital transformation efforts.

Value of Advice

Neil Rogan

Managing Director

The question of advisor value has been an ongoing narrative within advice for quite some time. Being able to define, deliver, then communicate the value of one’s advice is obviously central to engaged, satisfied, and loyal clients, and sustainable advice practices.

This session will take advisors through the latest research on this topic which is now in it’s seventh year, helping advisors find that the real value in your advice may not be where you think it is.

Strategic Insights: Advice Opportunities for Professionals

Mark Neil

Strategy Consultant at Life Risk Strategies & Coaching

In today’s competitive professional landscape, high-earning individuals invest a substantial amount of human capital in their careers, dedicating years to education, delaying entry into the job market, and accruing significant student debt. The journey to success often demands hands-on experience, which can be both costly and challenging to attain during university or early career stages.

In this presentation, we delve into the unique needs of professionals, understanding that a one-size-fits-all approach is not sufficient for this discerning clientele. To effectively cater to their unique needs, we must develop personalised solutions, including risk strategies, that align with their individual circumstances.

SESSION 8

The Power of Long-Term Investing – The Contrarian View

Eric Marais

Investment Analyst

After a long economic cycle dominated and driven by a select few asset classes, sectors, and securities, it’s easy for investors to believe that what has been true in the past will also hold true in the future. But as truly long-term investors appreciate, every cycle turns, and those with skewed expectations can get burnt. Fortunately, for investors who recognise the behavioural biases that can influence investment decisions and past performance cycles, exciting opportunities exist to take the other side of a bet—often with an asymmetric payoff.

Practices of the Future

The market for advice is starting to segment between efficient suitable solutions that can solve common financial planning tasks and more professional options that cater for families with more complex needs.
