Success story
A major financial firm was launching a new digital advice product, following a significant marketing rollout campaign. One of our clients needed to make a presentation to its board of directors to lay out any potential competitive gaps with this competitor’s product and its own robo advice product. The Digital Advice Research Services team quickly provided full details on product specifications—investment minimums, fees, costs of underlying expense ratios per portfolio—and identified unique features of the competitor’s authenticated site experience. Our team was also able to highlight points of differentiation that the client used to drive the conversation with its board.
