Wealth Advisor Benchmarking

Is your wealth advisory business optimized for success?  How do you stack up against other firms on key factors necessary for success in a constantly evolving, highly competitive environment? 
 
FOX Wealth Advisor Benchmarking – the industry’s longest running, most in-depth, annual study of the wealth advisor model – can help you answer these important questions.
 

Areas of Benchmarking Focus

In addition to key metrics such as asset size, revenues, expenses, and pricing structure, the annual survey explores key strategic areas such as:
  • Regulatory compliance – How are firms staying ahead of the curve in an increased regulatory climate?
  • Technology – In what operational areas is the benefits of technology being leveraged the most?
  • Data security – What are firms doing to combat increasingly sophisticated cyber criminals?
  • Client satisfaction & experience – What tools are firms utilizing to stay on top of their client experience?
The only way to gain access to valuable insights that will help you understand how you are performing versus the industry is to complete the annual survey.  Only firms that participate in the full survey will receive a report of the final results.
 

Who Should Participate?

FOX invites any firm that provides a combination of planning and investment advisory services to ultra-wealthy firms to participate in benchmarking. All firms should serve more than one unrelated family group and should be for-profit.  This includes both registered investment firms, private banks with an ultra-high-net-worth platform, trust companies and other financial services firm.  Where necessary, FOX will adjust its reporting and analysis to reflect meaningful business model differences.
