More is Less: Wealth Management with AA

Background

Insurance agents, stock brokers, bank relationship managers, and wealth managers have faced disdain from investors due to various issues, like lack of communication, selling illiquid products, and inadequate planning. However, with data-sharing frameworks and increased digitization, users can provide their financial advisors comprehensive data on investments and liabilities, enabling better advice. Wealth managers can now offer instant insights on high-cost and underperforming assets, unproductive bank balances, and accurate tax reporting. They can track and suggest solutions for goals, ensure proper nominations, and consolidate investments under one roof.

The Account Aggregator (AA) framework has emerged as a transformative milestone in India’s financial industry, poised to revolutionize wealth management practices. With AA in the picture, incumbent companies must reevaluate and adapt their business models to stay relevant in this rapidly evolving landscape. These advancements will make many past issues obsolete, emphasizing the importance of choosing a secure and reliable advisor.
