Meaning Of Personalised Reporting System

Client reporting is one of the most crucial functions in the financial

industry, where wealth managers need to give a timely flow of information regarding investments, market scenarios to their clients

so that they can make a decision or take advice accordingly.

Personalisation is a process of tailoring services according to the client's interests & preferences, such as income bracket, risk capacity, personal likes & dislikes, social groups, personal goals, etc.

Demand for personalisation or hyper-personalisation is increasing because of the transfer of wealth to the next generation. Clients today, especially the younger generation, want hyper-personalised services& reporting. To satisfy this segment of clients & build loyal relationships with clients, wealth managers need to adopt technology that helps in personalised reporting.

Personalised reporting is the need of the hour, but the truth is wealth managers still rely on manual paper-based or semi-automated approaches that are time-consuming, laborious & costly. This approach not only affects the client experience & quality of work but is expensive too.

Numerous wealth managers in this tech-oriented world still use paper-based reports, excel sheets, pdf, etc. Unfortunately, these reports are difficult to update because of a lot of manual work involved &couldn't show real-time trends. It becomes time-consuming both for the advisor& client.

Wealth managers need to shift the focus from the manual paper-

based & semi-automated approach to using good quality software like Canopy that helps to create hyper-personalised reports customised according to users.
