Wealth manager brands are about the ability to diagnose and solve client problems. The first step in building cost effective brands is recognizing that they are about a firm’s ability to diagnose and solve client problems and not how good it is at giving financial advice. Money is merely a means to an end, and the end is about what clients want to use their money to accomplish in their lives. Wealth managers use their personal judgment and experience, along with financial expertise, to help clients to first diagnose their problems and only after that is accomplished then they organize their finances to solve them and meet their goals.
