The Role of Data Visualization in Wealth Management

With digitization came data overflow—we are currently processing vast quantities of data, often larger than a human can comprehend. Naturally, AI helps us with that, but it cannot do all the work. Data visualization helps us cope with this; its role includes shaping the data into easily understandable depictions. In this article, we discuss this topic in more detail. We invite you to read on!

‍

What Is Data Visualization?

‍

In technical terms, data visualization involves translating information into a visual context. This involves taking all your relevant data and presenting it, for instance, as:

‍

• maps,
• graphs,
• charts.

‍

The idea behind data visualization is simple: it makes it easier to understand data. Thanks to this, you don’t need to be a data scientist to work on complex data sets, and you can analyze large datasets easily.

‍

The Role of Data Visualization in Wealth Management?

‍

With the theory behind us, let’s discuss the role of data visualization in wealth management. In this case, it’s even more critical than in most industries (where it is already vital). Why is it so?

‍

The Vast Amounts and Different Types of Data in Wealth Management

‍

Wealth management operates on various types of data. You collect and utilize information about:

‍

• your clients → their preferences, risk tolerance, and wealth;
• managed portfolios → asset value, asset allocation, asset appreciation;
• market circumstances → stock index value changes, geopolitical situation, news;
• regulatory compliance → tax laws, AML regulations, reporting requirements;
• macroeconomic data → interest rates, inflation trends, GDP growth.

‍

This generates large quantities of data that you need to process, sometimes separately, sometimes joining different types of data together. Without adequate data visualization, this task would become virtually impossible.

‍

The Need for Data Scientists

‍

To add to the role of data visualization, without it, you would only be able to analyze your information with the help of data scientists. This generates a plethora of problems such as:

‍

• additional costs → due to the need for more data scientists hired at your firm;
• lack of thorough conclusions → data scientists don’t have the knowledge that wealth managers have, so you might not be able to extract all potential insights;
• longer data processing time → even with the use of AI, if you don’t visualize your data, you will need more time to extract valuable information.

‍

In the end, you want your wealth managers to work on the data, not any intermediary, for the sake of maximizing effectiveness.

‍

Building Trust with Detailed Reporting

‍

Thirdly, your clients want to know what is happening with their wealth. This means that you don’t only need to analyze data for your decision-making process but also to show the results to the clients.

The role of data visualization is paramount in this case. You can quickly adapt the data into a format that is easily digestible by your clients, making your work transparent. This, as a result, builds client trust, elevating customer retention rates and enhancing customer experience.
