Investor Compass

A complete suitability assessment of your client's financial risk appetite, ESG preferences, and financial personality. Enabling you and your firm to improve investor engagement and grow and retain assets under management with regulatory peace of mind.

Investor Compass is an end-to-end risk profiling and suitability solution – built on advanced behavioural finance. A comprehensive financial profiling process is crucial in revealing an investor’s willingness and ability – both financial and emotional – to take risk, and to calmly take control of their finances. This goes far beyond risk tolerance and onboarding, we want to help you provide the lifetime of guidance that investors need.

Our unique behavioural finance technology supports vulnerable investors, evaluates goal affordability, and accounts for sequencing and drawdown risks. The Investor Compass solution also includes a comprehensive ESG investment assessment that engages clients on their preferences, enabling deeper conversations with investors along with the ability to better match them to responsible or sustainable investment solutions.

Retirement Income Suitability

Our innovative solution helps clients find a suitable balance between guaranteed income and investment draw-down.

A popular retirement strategy is to use part of a pot of investible assets (typically from a pension) to provide a guaranteed income, leaving the other part exposed to the market – perhaps to leave a legacy, or to defer deciding how to use the money.

Our unique At-Retirement Suitability solution supports wealth managers and their clients to understand:

  1. How much of the investor’s investible assets should be used to purchase a guaranteed income?
  2. How much investment risk should be taken with the part that remains invested?

More Than Mere Measurement: Guide to Client Investment Suitability

A good suitability assessment is greater than the sum of its component parts. Each of those parts must be measured, and measured well, but the way in which you measure them, especially with an eye on how they all fit together, is just as crucial as what you measure in the first place.
