With a diverse client base ranging from aggressive younger investors to older clients focused on capital preservation, he needed a way to maintain personalized stock coverage while optimizing his time.

This allowed him to provide richer insights to clients while freeing up time for personalized engagement.
Client Background
The client, an experienced wealth manager, differentiates by understanding every aspect of his clients’ investment universes. He relies on individual stock selection over ETFs, believing there is still significant value in handpicking names. His challenge was balancing in-depth stock research with the need to be present for his clients.
Challenges
His clients’ varying investment objectives meant extensive research was required for his tailored approach. Some sought aggressive growth stocks and others prioritized stability. He traditionally conducted quarterly deep dives, but covering 500 stocks took nearly 100 hours per quarter, leaving little room to scale.
