Pulse Check: Are you overlooking your enterprise, line of business, advisor, and client document [and document data] strategy?

Industries, organizations, experiences, and expectations overall are changing. At the core of this change, what humans truly value remains the same; yet, how that value is delivered or received is where the real change lies.

Through the dozens of conversations our team consistently has on a weekly basis with executives leading some of the largest institutions to medium-sized, and small firms, one thing is evident: this change isn’t just on the horizon, it’s already here.

…And it’s here to stay.

Two Trends Redefining an Entire Industry

1. Advisor-Client Paradigm Shift: From Wealth Management to Life Management

The traditional advisor-client relationship has shifted towards comprehensive Client Life Management. Today’s successful advisors integrate deeply into their clients’ lives, becoming their most trusted resource. This holistic approach provides value at every intersection of financial, personal, and family life, positioning advisors as indispensable partners and certainly on their way to becoming the most trusted partner in clients’ lives.

McKinsey & Company suggests modern financial advisors will become “more like integrated life/wealth coaches who advise clients on investments, banking, healthcare, protection, taxes, estate, and financial wellness needs more broadly.” No longer limited to investment-only advice, the modern advisor offers a more comprehensive understanding of clients’ financial lives and even well beyond the “financial” relationship.

What this means for your firm:

• Shift from transactional relationships to deep, trusted partnerships.
• Greater integration of financial, legal, health, and lifestyle services.
• Centralized digital tools for seamless collaboration and trusted interactions.

2. AI + Digital Vaults: Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)

Integrating secure enterprise-grade Digital Vaults with AI-powered Intelligent Document Processing is revolutionizing the financial services landscape. At FutureVault, we recognize this powerful convergence as essential for achieving scale, efficiency, and delivering exceptional client experiences that spill over into the next generation of clients and advisors.

Key Benefits:

• Automated (and intelligent) data extraction and summarization of critical (and contextual) document insights.
• Advanced OCR (and ICR – Intelligent Character Recognition) dramatically reduces manual data entry and errors.
• Enhanced compliance and strategic decision-making driven by structured data.

Simon Says…

A word from FutureVault’s Chief Product Officer, Simon Tipler.

Stop relying on disparate systems to handle client documents. Firms often experience significant inefficiencies, increased compliance risks, and fragmented client experiences due to scattered document management. In fact, IDC suggests that poor document handling can result in productivity losses of up to 21%. Take control by centralizing documents to significantly enhance client experience, reduce risk, and unlock the immense value hidden in your document data.

The freight train is in motion… and it’s moving fast. Is your firm onboard?
