The wealth managers stack

Six instruments, calibrated.

UK wealth managers — discretionary + advisory — Avaloq, Pulse, NextWealth — portfolio reporting, client comms, suitability monitoring.

01 · Portfolio reporting

Quarterly reports, on time, every time.

Avaloq or custom feeds piped into a templated client-report engine, performance commentary drafted from market data, partner reviews on the iPad. The quarter that doesn't eat the firm.

  • Avaloq + custom feed integration
  • Templated client report engine
  • Performance commentary drafting
  • Partner-review queue
02 · Client comms + meeting prep

Every client meeting prepared in advance.

Meeting prep pack assembled the night before, talking points generated from portfolio drift and life events, follow-ups logged into the suitability record. The relationship manager prepared, not winging it.

  • Auto-prep pack 24h before
  • Drift-driven talking points
  • Follow-up logging
  • Per-client meeting cadence
03 · Suitability monitoring

Portfolio drift surfaced before review.

Risk-profile vs allocation monitored continuously, drift flagged, suitability documented. The compliance moat that catches the issue at month two, not at the FCA visit.

  • Continuous drift monitoring
  • Risk-profile + allocation match
  • Suitability evidence trail
  • MIFID-aware logging
04 · Performance attribution

What drove the quarter, in one chart.

Performance attributed by allocation, security selection, currency — per portfolio, per strategy, per advisor. The conversation the IM committee needs, not the spreadsheet they tolerate.

  • Brinson-Fachler attribution
  • Per-strategy + per-portfolio
  • Currency + security split
  • IM committee dashboard
05 · Compliance + record-keeping

Audit trail the FCA wants to see.

Every trade, recommendation, and client communication recorded with a suitability link. The compliance file ready before the FCA visit, not assembled in panic when it arrives.

  • Per-client advice log
  • Trade-decision capture
  • Communication archive
  • FCA-aware retention
06 · BrainBase

The firm's investment IP, indexed.

House views, manager research, strategy papers, regulatory updates — searchable from the meeting prep, the IM committee, the client call. The investment brain the senior partner can't take when they leave.

  • House-view + manager research library
  • Strategy-paper search
  • Regulatory-update index
  • AI-assisted retrieval
Sample engagement

The £180M AUM firm that cut quarterly report cycle from 18 to 6 days.

Three wealth managers. £180M AUM. Quarterly client reports running 18 days.

A £180M-AUM wealth firm ran portfolio admin on Avaloq but built every quarterly client report by hand in Word. Five-week build: Avaloq feeds piped into a templated report engine, performance commentary drafted from market data and benchmarks, partner-review queue on iPad. Two quarters on: report cycle dropped from 18 days to 6, the firm took on 14 new families across the next half-year without adding ops headcount.

How we measure: report-cycle days = quarter-end date to last-report-issued date, weighted by AUM across 84 client portfolios; ops-team hours logged via timesheet, prior-quarter vs post-build, partner-review latency tracked daily during cycle.
