Model B

The financial advisory industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by technological advancements and evolving client expectations. Model B operations, a systematic framework for optimizing processes, leveraging data, and integrating cutting-edge technology, have emerged as a game-changer for wealth and asset managers. In the UK, where the industry is poised for growth, adopting Model B operations offers substantial competitive advantages.

Key Advantages of Model B Operations

Enhanced Operational Efficiency | Model B operations streamline back-office and middle-office workflows through outsourcing tasks such as portfolio rebalancing, compliance reporting, and transaction processing and settlement to authorised clearing and settlement providers. Utilising a clearing house’s infrastructure significantly lowers the operational costs associated with trade execution, settlement, and compliance. Wealth managers can reinvest these savings into enhancing client services.

According to a report by PwC, 74% of wealth management firms in the UK cited operational efficiency as a top priority for the next five years. With Model B operations, firms can achieve cost savings of over 30%, enabling them to allocate resources more effectively.

Improved Client Experience | Today’s clients demand personalised, real-time interactions. By outsourcing their operational tasks, wealth advisors and asset managers can focus on delivering exceptional personlised services to their clients. Using award-winning automation platforms like Wealth Intelligence, which leverage advanced analytics and AI to provide insights into client preferences and behaviours, wealth advisors can offer tailored advice and proactive communication.

Deloitte’s UK Wealth Management Outlook 2024 highlights that firms leveraging data-driven client strategies have seen a 20% increase in client satisfaction and retention rates.

Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management | The UK’s regulatory landscape, governed by bodies such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), requires wealth managers to maintain transparency and adhere to stringent reporting standards. Clearing houses often have robust risk management systems in place, mitigating counterparty risks for Model B users. This ensures smoother operations and greater financial security for wealth management firms.

Accenture’s research shows that UK firms adopting advanced compliance technologies reduced regulatory breaches by 40% compared to those relying on traditional methods.

Scalability and Flexibility | Model B operations enable wealth managers to scale their businesses efficiently, onboarding new clients and services without the need for significant infrastructure investment.

Gartner reports that firms implementing scalable operational frameworks experienced a 25% faster market entry for new products compared to their peers.

Innovative Wealth Ecosystem with Wealth Intelligence and Graphene

To further amplify the benefits of Model B operations, Contemi’s Wealth Intelligence (WIN) recently partnered with Graphene Investor Services to introduce an innovative wealth ecosystem tailored for financial advisors in the UK. This collaboration addresses key industry challenges and empowers firms to adopt the Model B framework for operational advantages, enhanced agility, and cost-effectiveness.

This ecosystem combines WIN’s award-winning front office technologies, such as client onboarding, portals, investment management, and modelling tools, with Graphene’s advanced technology infrastructure and platform-as-a-service model, powered by SEI’s custody and platform administration. The result is a modular and scalable solution that allows financial advisors to:

  • Establish and own their platforms without incurring significant risks, compliance burdens, or costs.
  • Seamlessly transition to adviser-as-platform models.
  • Deliver personalized and efficient services to clients.

A report by McKinsey indicates that digital transformation, powered by frameworks like Model B operations, can unlock up to £200 billion in additional revenue for the European wealth management sector by 2030.

Model B operations offer financial advisors the tools to address critical challenges while seizing new opportunities. By enhancing efficiency, improving client experiences, ensuring compliance, and enabling data-driven decisions, these operations pave the way for sustainable growth and long-term success. With the innovative wealth ecosystem developed by WIN in partnership with Graphene, firms can further accelerate their journey toward operational excellence and market leadership. As the UK market continues to evolve, embracing this transformative approach will not only keep firms competitive but also redefine the future of wealth management.
