As a financial advisor, you know the job doesn’t end when the client completes their risk questionnaire or the initial portfolio is implemented. That’s actually where the true value of your advice begins: ongoing support, continuous strategy, and above all, building trust.
In an increasingly demanding and digital market, investors don’t just want someone to “manage their money”; they want to understand, participate, and know they’re truly progressing toward their goals.
That’s why we’re sharing 5 key steps to strengthen your role as an advisor once the portfolio is in place:
1. Continuous Monitoring
Clients don’t need to watch the market every day—but they do need to feel their investments are being actively managed. Monitoring isn’t just technical; it’s emotional and strategic.
What can you do?
• Show progress toward their goals: beyond returns, are they getting closer to what they set out to achieve?
• Use clear, visual, easy-to-read reports.
• Spot significant portfolio deviations and proactively plan corrections.
2. Periodic Rebalancing (Not Automatic, Not Improvised)
Over time, some assets rise while others fall, and the portfolio drifts off target. Rebalancing is key to keeping the strategy aligned with the client’s profile.
Best practices:
• Schedule regular portfolio reviews.
• Use these moments to talk with the client: it’s not just moving assets—it’s reinforcing trust and clarity.
• Explain with simple, relatable examples.
3. Constant Communication
Waiting for a quarterly meeting isn’t enough anymore. Today’s clients value presence, accessibility, and proactivity.
What works?
• Send short market updates focused on how they impact the client’s strategy.
• Be available for questions—even if it’s via WhatsApp, email, or a quick video call.
Remember: a well-informed client is calmer, more loyal, and more open to discussing complex decisions.
4. Regularly Review the Risk Profile
Life changes—and so does a client’s relationship with money. A strategy that was perfect 12 months ago might no longer make sense.
When should you review it?
• Personal changes: marriage, children, inheritance, retirement, career changes.
• Changes in goals or timelines: a target moves up or drops in priority.
• Emotional reactions to market moves: if a 3% drop keeps them up at night, it’s time to re-examine their profile.
With Altafid, you can easily re-run the risk profile questionnaire and adjust the strategy using real data and context.
5. Continuous Education: The True Value-Add
An advisor doesn’t just manage money. A great advisor transforms a client’s relationship with their finances.
Simple ways to educate:
• Explain key concepts in clear language: diversification, liquidity, volatility, time horizon.
• Share short videos, webinars, or articles with practical examples.
• Build mini-lessons into every meeting: “What just happened with bonds is a perfect example of why we diversify…”
In Summary: More Connection
At Altafid, we believe an advisor’s value isn’t about selling products—it’s about building long-term trust through data, clear conversations, and tools that empower your work.
Our platform is designed so you can:
• View portfolio performance in real time.
• Communicate more frequently and effectively.
• Rebalance with strategy and insight.
• Update the client’s profile based on their life—not just the market.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about having the “best” portfolio in the world—but the most suitable one for that individual, at that moment in their life.
