This approach can be beneficial for both the advisor and the client, as it allows for increased profitability and improved asset allocation.
Elements' role in facilitating client engagement and communication
Another important aspect highlighted in the podcast is how elements assists in client engagement and communication. Elements provides an easy-to-use platform where clients can access and update their net worth information regularly. This enhances the communication between advisors and their clients by providing a clear and up-to-date view of their financial situation. The podcast also mentioned the use of elements' reports and one-page plans as effective tools in client communication. These reports can be shared with clients, providing clarity and transparency about their financial goals, assets, and investment strategies.
