The Rise & Rise Of The e-Adviser
by Tony Vidler        There appears to be research from larger markets such as the USA to suggest there is a new type of financial adviser out there, dubbed the “e-Adviser”, who is winning way more business than other advisers are.   An e-Adviser is not a robo-adviser either….thought I would just get that one […]

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 Cyborg Practice: Blending Robos With Advice
by Tony Vidler        Future advice practices will be cyborgs; blending robos with advice.  Robotic product and solution delivery together with humans managing relationships and working on strategy will be the single commercial “organism”.   You see, I am convinced that robo-advice models will succeed and prosper.

Creating Happy Clients Is Not Enough
by Tony Vidler        Creating and keeping happy clients IS essential for the success of a professional practice.  There is no question about that.  But is it enough to help a practice grow at a greater than industry average pace?   I don’t believe so.   Being a great practitioner and running an efficient & […]

Robo-Advice is here, and it is helping Advisers be better at giving advice!
by Tony Vidler         Apparently a fair proportion of advisers still do not believe that robo-advice will have a serious impact upon their business.  It will of course, and in many respects it is helping advisers to be better at what they do…giving advice.   The term “robo-advice” creates an image immediately of a machine replacing […]

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 […]

That Tech Competitor Threat Is Really An Opportunity For Some Advisers
by Tony Vidler        The robo-advice “threat” is an opportunity for entrepreneurial advisers…as is every other direct-to-consumer offering driven by fintechs. The more I think about it the more certain I am that some advisory firms will prosper from it…but I am just as sure that many will “fail” due to the competition.  By “fail” […]
