DESCRIPTION

For years, financial institutions have sought ways to make true financial advice available online. But did they find a way to satisfy their more independent customers? We will talk about the ways in which digital technology is transforming the way we market (and receive) financial advisory services. Take a peek at projects from our research labs. One features a room designed in a joint effort with the University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt, Germany: It provides a digitally enhanced advisor-client conversation, using a multitouch table and a screen wall. The other is seeking to grant investors more control in a more integrated process by creating a platform for both, advisors and investors. Will digital technologies – one day – create the category killer for personal financial advising or take it to the next level.

What we are going to talk about

Three different models for financial advisory !   My financial advisor has an

algorithm !   My algorithm has some

financial advisors !   My financial advisor is an

algorithm

Where it's at: Clients

LESS TRUST, MORE AUTONOMY

Democratization of Information

WHY DO WE STILL NEED FINANCIAL ADVISORS?

We became our own travel agents, insurance brokers, now we are learning to use our cell phones to triage our own bodies.

The process of financial advisory

Page 9: My Financial Advisor is an Algorithm

Finances are serious and complex.

BECAUSE IT'S COMPLICATED

A solid financial plan is not a matter of drag and drop.

Question 2

WHAT KIND OF DIGITAL DEVICES?

Devices that support the process of financial advisory face to face.

Page 22: My Financial Advisor is an Algorithm

Digital Devices

A multitouch table for profiling and product selection. !   It supports the interactive

process between advisor and client.

Page 23: My Financial Advisor is an Algorithm

Digital Devices

A digital wall to permanently provide overview: ! Timeline ! Agenda ! Structure ! Organization

Page 24: My Financial Advisor is an Algorithm

Question 3

WHAT’S A NATURAL INTERFACE?

An interface that advances !   comprehension ! inspiration

Page 25: My Financial Advisor is an Algorithm

Circle as main navigation element.

Page 26: My Financial Advisor is an Algorithm

Circle becomes a multifunctional biomorph interface element

Jim Smith [Brother]: You’re doing the right thing by starting to save now. Make sure you find out about the other investment options in your plan, though. Right now, your contributions are going into a money fund. Also, you should think about saving for Robbie’s college education, too.

Pete Smith: Where can I find out about that?

Jim Smith [Brother]: My broker, @George.Jones, set up the accounts for my kids. Friend him and he can tell you how it works.

George Jones [Advisor]: Happy to help. You should consider your state’s 529 plan so your contributions will be tax-deductible. Start saving $200 each month, and you can increase it with your raise next year.

Engagement is value for the advisor.

SOCIAL FINANCE OPTIMIZES ADVICE

!   I know right away when my client’s plans change.

!   I see their whole financial picture.

!   I have many more opportunities to bring value to the relationship.

THE

ALGOVISOR

Page 60: My Financial Advisor is an Algorithm

MY FINANCIAL ADVISOR IS AN ALGORITHM

!   I am mobile and social. !   I accept my data being

collected and used if it serves me.

!   I have no time or motivation to become an expert in investing.

Page 61: My Financial Advisor is an Algorithm

Choices, choices, choices…

Find the best IRA and plan my retirement? See what people are tweeting #SXSW?

Page 62: My Financial Advisor is an Algorithm

SO HOW CAN AN ALGORITHM HELP ME?

By being ubiquitous yet unobtrusive.

Page 63: My Financial Advisor is an Algorithm

Advice is based on data.

AN AUTOMATIC FINANCIAL ADVISOR

!   I don’t want to learn about investing.

!   I don’t have time to manage my plan.

!   I trust the Algovisor that knows more about me than any financial advisor ever would.

Page 64: My Financial Advisor is an Algorithm

“Because investing is very individual and personal”

SO MANY ALGORITHMS ALREADY DO

The advisor needs to know my life, my goals, my finances.

Page 65: My Financial Advisor is an Algorithm

They know more than I would tell my financial advisor.

Page 66: My Financial Advisor is an Algorithm

The all seeing Algovisor

Page 67: My Financial Advisor is an Algorithm

The Algovisor uses MY interface

Sylke, you cancelled your trip to Australia. I am going to move the funds we set aside for that into your xyz account. Okay?

I will allocate the funds according to our current portfolio model. Do you want to review the trades I am proposing before I buy?

Yes

Sure

Great. I sent them to the Algovisor App, along with some details about the individual funds.

OK
