Wealth Management

Elding Digital's flexible consulting approach will continuously adapt your Salesforce platform to keep pace with the dynamic wealth management landscape.

The wealth management arena is transforming rapidly. Shifting client demographics, disruptive fintech competitors, increased regulation and ongoing market volatility present new challenges everyday. Success today depends on your ability to adapt – and quickly. With ever-demanding investors seeking hyper-customized guidance and 24/7 digital access, firms must innovate to deliver responsive, individualized service

Why Partner with Elding Digital?

We know that wealth management firms want to harness the latest innovations such as AI and advanced analytics to better serve their clients. However, overloaded technology teams often spend their days maintaining legacy systems, leaving little time to evaluate and pilot cutting-edge solutions.

Rather than just fight fires, we help you transition to an innovation mindset powered by intelligent technology. Our collaboration allows your team to look forward instead of getting stuck in maintenance mode. Together, we can capitalize on emerging capabilities to delight clients, empower advisors and future-proof your firm. The time is now to get strategic about trailblazing technology in wealth management.

As your trusted partner, Elding Digital understands these challenges because we speak the language of wealth management fluently. As experienced Salesforce advisors, we stay plugged into the latest solutions reinventing wealth management – from hyper-personalization to automated compliance.

How Elding DigitalCan Help

While each of our clients is unique, we see general patterns in opportunities for wealth management firms to improve customer & user experience. Some of our most common Salesforce enhancement requests include:

Help me Compete With Digital Advisors

Increasingly digital advisors are presenting stiff competition to traditional wealth management firms. The best way to compete is to continue to deliver high-touch, personalized service and customized expertise while leveraging technology to maximize efficiency and productivity. While investors still value face-to-face advisor relationships, also providing robust digital capabilities is crucial. Elding Digital helps wealth management firms enhance their digital capabilities to deliver the hybrid experiences customers crave.

Increase my Customer Referrals

Referrals are the lifeblood of wealth management firms. Providing an exceptional, personalized client experience is the first step. Tracking client satisfaction scores and engagement can help identify your promoters who are most likely to refer. We also help firms use their data to discover hidden connections to uncover referral opportunities within client networks, develop tailored automated outreach programs asking clients for introductions, and develop referral leaderboards, gamification and rewards programs to incentivize referrals.

Retain Assets Through Generational Transfer

As baby boomers pass on trillions in assets, traditional wealth management firms face major generational transfer risk. Retaining heirs as clients requires proactively connecting with them long before succession events. Elastify can design processes to map family connections and manage introductions to start building relationships early. We can also design and implement education journeys and education portals to provide financial education to future heirs and communicate expertise in intergenerational planning.

Streamline New Customer Onboarding

Manual paper-based processes to open new accounts can result in high drop-off rates & lead to a negative first impression. Elding can help you give new clients a fast and transparent onboarding experience by implementing or enhancing digital applications, client portals, and e-signature tools. We help clients develop smart forms to reduce data entry by pre-populating client information, integration with e-verification systems for KYC and AML checks, and decision automation to enable straight-through processing to open accounts faster.

Discover Cross-sell Opportunities

The first step in uncovering cross-sell opportunities is to centralize client data so your advisors can easily identify gaps in their client’s portfolios that offer opportunities to cross-sell additional products and services. It is also important to track client life events and changes in risk profiles to reveal evolving financial needs. Elding can help bring all your client data together in Salesforce and implement  prompts and alerts to notify advisors when a product opportunity is identified.

Enhance the Data Exchange with my Portfolio System

To eliminate silos between CRM and investment data, it’s crucial for wealth management firms to integrate Salesforce with back-end portfolio management and trading systems. Real-time synchronization gives advisors a full picture of client accounts and holdings within Salesforce alongside client satisfaction and engagement metrics to help advisors make informed recommendations. If there are gaps in your Salesforce to portfolio management integration, Elding can enhance your capabilities to enrich client service and fuel growth.

Recruit and Retain Top Advisors

Top-performing advisors drive growth and client satisfaction for wealth management firms. Their experience, expertise, and books of business are valuable assets. However, competition for top advisors is intense. Wealth firms must optimize their talent strategies to attract top advisors. Once new advisors have been onboarded, retention requires engaging advisors by enabling their success and offering development opportunities. Elding can implement or enhance your advisor recruiting and onboarding process right on your existing Salesforce platform and we can help you keep them by fostering a culture of continuous innovation.

Ensure we are Compliant with the Latest Regulations

With increasing regulatory obligations, maintaining compliance is crucial for wealth management firms to avoid sizable fines and reputational damage. In the last year alone we have seen changes to rules around fiduciary duty, privacy & data security, disclosures, and operational resilience. Elding can help you stay ahead of the game by implementing on-platform tracking of client suitability, supervision review workflows & surveillance monitoring for transitions and transfers, and ongoing reporting on key compliance activities.
