10. Client Briefing Tool
Financial Advisors (FAs) made regular PowerPoint
presentations to high net worth clients, detailing the
performance of their managed portfolios.
The Case

11. Client Briefing Tool
• Cumbersome Data Gathering
– Not easily accessible by FAs
– Disparate data sources and systems
• Excessive Preparation Time
– Average time was 24 hrs to create
• Inconsistent Look and Feel
– Influenced by individual style of the FA
– Posed compliance risks and branding issues
Challenges

12. • Quality Assurance Issues
– Inconsistencies introduced by the manual process
• Lack of Efficiency
– Additional effort required to correct inconsistencies
– Lack of re-usability of templates and presentations
Challenges (cont.)
Client Briefing Tool

13. The solution consisted of a single point
interface to gather client portfolio data from
multiple data sources to generate a
consolidated PowerPoint presentation with
embedded graphs.

14. Client Briefing Tool - Solution

15. Client Briefing Tool
• Shielded FAs from the need to access multiple
applications on diverse platforms to collect information.
• Consistent look-and-feel for all presentations.
• Central repository for all presentations.
• Addressed security issues of FAs accessing confidential
information of restricted clients.
• Reduced turn around time to generate a presentation
from 24 hours to between 3 and 5 minutes.
Benefits

16. • Overall process to execute trades was not as
reactive as required
• Inaccurate presentation of information from the
legacy trading platform
• Disadvantage against other credit derivatives
houses
Challenges
Credit Derivatives

17. Credit Derivatives
• Worked with key personnel to develop a multi-
client, post-trade electronic affirmation platform
for credit derivatives trading
• From scope out to delivery
• Enabled dealers to allege new trades against
their customers
• In turn, customers were able to verify economic trade
details and affirm and allocate trades electronically
Solution

18. Credit Derivatives
• Improved process behind credit derivative trading
settlements
• Limited risk
• Accelerated and automated the clearing process
– Limits and reduces settlement time – less margin for
errors

legacy systems
