FinaMetrica Integration
What is FinaMetrica?
FinaMetrica is a platform which assists with the Risk Tolerance and Risk Profiling of clients.
Overview:
What is Risk Tolerance and why it is measured?
Risk Tolerance is how emotionally comfortable a person is with taking Financial risk. For example, how much a person is willing for their portfolio to diminish for a chance to make bigger returns. It is psychological, and it is best measured with a psychometric tool.
By knowing how comfortable a client is with the investments ups and downs, Advisers can make sure that their client doesn’t panic, or worse, blame the adviser when a risk is realised.
What is Risk Profiling?
Risk Profiling is a process for finding the optimal level of Investment risk for your client by balancing their risk required, risk capacity and their individual risk tolerance.
There is often a mismatch between the risk required, capacity and tolerance.
FinaMetrica helps you identify mismatches and resolve them with your client.
Points of Consideration:
1. Finametrica can only be accessed by users holding an Adviser Licence (Comprehensive, Investment, Strategic & Risk Licences) in Adviserlogic.
2. To access Finametrica, the adviser should have access to Administrative tools. If not, then email support@adviserlogic.com with an approval email from the company's Executive or Admin contact person (registered under AdviserLogic) to provide the access to Administrative tools.
3. To get Finametrica access, every user has to email Adviserlogic at support@adviserlogic.com to provide them with Finametrica access.
4. An adviser can only have the "Go to Finametrica" option if he or she is the adviser for that particular client.
