The growing adoption of paperless and automation for better finances drive the global wealth management platform market. However, preliminary technical skills resulting in less familiarity with wealth management solutions are expected to impede the market.

The growing adoption of paperless and automation for better finances

For many broker-dealers and RIAs, moving to a paperless workplace is a long-term aim. Most businesses have embraced paperless processes, but few have fully implemented a paperless office approach. For instance, using the platform reduces the use of paper and auxiliary applications during the advice process. It results in immediate cost savings on office supplies, system maintenance and support fees for applications that the new system replaces. The average cost reduction amount for each bank is 10%.

Wealth management organizations can use digital document services to make it easier for advisers to open accounts and onboard new clients. It can import client data from CRMs and other paperless document systems. The information is then automatically populated in all relevant fields, significantly decreasing the amount of human labor required of advisers.

Therefore, the growing demand and adoption have resulted in companies investing in the business. For instance, in February 2022, Savvy, a next-generation wealth management firm that supercharges wealth managers with upgraded software, sales and marketing automation and back-office servicing, raised US$ 7.3 million in seed funding from Thrive Capital and Index Ventures.

Preliminary technical skills resulting in less familiarity with wealth management solutions

In addition, the cost of asset management services is another restraint for the market. There may be various wealth management fees, which might eat into your profits. Therefore, prospective clients should acquire complete estimates detailing all related expenses before signing up for an asset management service.
