Key insights on client experience

Firms and clients agree that there is a strong link between good technology used and client satisfaction. Here are some key insights from our 2022 AdviceTech Client Experience Report indicating their beliefs.

Client portals are increasingly important for client engagement

For the Emerging Affluent, the technology credentials of a financial advice firm is in their top 3 most important factors (51.6% identify this) when choosing a brand or firm.  AdviceTech Stars get it, with 42.2% currently offering a client portal.

Use of digital signature tech has increased over previous years

In 2017 only a third (33.5%) of advice firms used this tech, but now they are used by more than two-thirds (67.7%). Further almost four in 10 (36.6%) say this tech has provided them the greatest business benefits.

Hybrid communications are here to stay

Advice firms need to support the multi-channel needs of Advisable Australians, whether that is in person, online meetings or via email or SMS. AdviceTech like advanced email marketing systems can help.

Data visualisation tools help educate

Over seven in 10 Advisable Australians expect their advice firm to use digital tools, such as online calculators, podcasts and videos, to demonstrate how they’re tracking to goals, how their investment portfolio is performing, plus to educate them on financial concepts.

The threat of cybersecurity is real

Over half (55.8%) of advice firms share this concern , however only a quarter of advice firms (23.8%) strongly agree that they have appropriate levels of cyber security, confidentiality procedures in place.

Taking advantage of the social media phenomenon

AdviceTech Stars have embraced social media, and since last year, daily posting to social media has more than doubled by these firms from 7% to 18%, and monthly posting has also increased to one in three.
