The global need for personalised experiences
For wealth managers, strong client relationships are the golden key to success. To thrive in this global landscape, wealth management firms must prioritise bespoke customer experiences that cater to individual needs, aspirations, and goals. By focusing on each client’s unique portfolio, advisors can offer relevant financial guidance that aligns with their risk tolerance and budget constraints. This personalised approach fosters a sense of exclusivity, leading to increased loyalty and retention.
Components of building a personalised customer journey
Three key components contribute to a personalised customer experience in wealth management:
1. Personalised customer data. Utilising personalised customer data allows financial advisors and firms to understand each client better and shape experiences that align with their financial profile.
A study shows that most wealth management clients (71%) express readiness to share personal data in exchange for services tailored to individual needs.

2. Client-relationship management (CRM) systems. These systems enable personalised and seamless client experiences in the digital age. Wealth management firms can leverage CRM systems to enhance their overall client experience through a comprehensive client understanding, tailored financial planning, streamlined communication, improved client engagement, and increased workflow efficiency.
3. Client lifecycle integration. Integrating client lifecycles with CRM systems is a driving force for personalisation. Managing various stages of a customer journey, from prospecting and onboarding to ongoing relationship management and retention, allows firms to gain comprehensive insights into each customer’s financial profile. This analysis of client data fosters strong relationships, increased client satisfaction, and long-term loyalty by delivering exceptional, customised experiences throughout the entire client lifecycle.
In another industry report, 64% of millennials and 51% of those aged 27 to 42 said they are willing to pay more for individualised investment products and services, showing how personalisation has become a key differentiator.
