The new app also allows investment accounts to have access to both adviser and client transaction capabilities.
“Digital wealth advisory doesn’t necessitate the replacement of human advisers with computers, but instead helps the adviser to serve clients better and more efficiently,” adds Lin, who says that the app was set up to empower both advisers and clients alike.
Looking ahead, Lin shared the platform’s vision and strategy to capture further growth in the wealth advisory industry.
“iFast Global Markets remains on the lookout for wealth advisory talent – such candidates should have a ‘client-first’ value system aligned with the firm’s motto, while embracing the disruptive powers of technology by leveraging on the iFast franchise to build a sustainable long-term wealth advisory practice.”
Shares in iFast closed 11 cents lower or 1.17% down at $9.31 on Oct 11.
