Humans will beat the machines, but not at their own game
by Tony Vidler        Will the machines beat the humans in financial advice? Nah…the humans will beat the machines I reckon. There’s 2 key problems for the robo-advisers: they generally don’t advise, and nor have they evolved enough to substitute for human-to-human communication.   Artificial Intelligence may well change all that, but for now it is […]

Be like the Private Banker in order to become invaluable
by Tony Vidler          To become invaluable, emulate “the Private Bankers” when it comes to combatting the multiple pressure points of rising consumer expectations, technology-driven and cost-focussed solutions, and the trend for “self management” in all things by clients.   I had the pleasure of spending a little time with Dr Phillip M.

The Advisory Practice Of The Future: Advisers Should Include Robo’s
by Tony Vidler        Robo’s are a threat to advice businesses in much the same way that a chilly bin is a threat to the sale of refrigerators. Most of us own both and use both, right? The advisory practice of the future will also be embracing multiple ways of delivering what consumers want…sometimes a […]

Robo-Advice? It is GREAT For An Adviser Business…
by Tony Vidler        Robo-advice is great for all of us in the advice arena, because WE learn more about consumers appetites for advice and product and WE learn more about their behaviour.  That helps us deliver better services of higher value.  It is one of the major benefits of the intense interest and investment […]

One thing we should learn from the Robo’s…
by Tony Vidler        Like it or not, we have to accept that the “Robo’s” do some things better than human advisers do…especially when it comes to removing barriers for consumers to engage.   If we look at any of the good online retailers or service providers – whether it is in financial services or selling […]

Could Advisers Be DRIVING Revenue To Online Providers?
by Tony Vidler        I do keep wondering if advisers realise how much revenue is waiting to be unlocked by them inside their existing business?   A little while ago I was talking with a business that provides outsourced client servicing solutions and they provided me with some of their data from working with financial […]
