Description

Financial Planners & Investment Advisers


Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

Companies in this industry provide customized investment advice and financial planning services. Major companies include US-based Ameriprise Financial and AXA, and units of diversified financial services companies such as Morgan Stanley, as well as AMP Limited (Australia) and IGM Financial (Canada).

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Aging populations, the shift to defined contribution retirement savings plans, and frothy markets in recent years are fueling growth of assets under management and demand for investment advice. Competing with independent financial planners and investment advisers for clients are Wall Street brokerage firms switching from a sales business model to a fee-for-service business model on retirement accounts, as well as CPAs with Certified Financial Planner designations. The proliferation of free online tools (sometimes called robo advisers) is proving popular among cost-conscious investors. As investors become more comfortable with digital financial advice, some providers of digital advice in the financial planning profession in the US are predicted to manage $5 trillion in assets by 2027, according to Statista.

PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY

The relationships between financial planners, investment advisers, and other professionals in the financial services industry are complex, and their roles often overlap. Financial planners help customers put together a plan to manage their financial resources; investment advisers suggest specific investments.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
