Decoding how your clients think, feel, and decide for truly bespoke advice.
Behavioural Intelligence™
- redefining the client experience
Attract, engage and retain the next wealth generation...
The Great Wealth Transfer is underway. In Australia, $5.4 trillion is being passed from boomers to the next generation. When wealth changes hands, 4 in 5 next-generation investors say they won’t stay with their parents’ adviser.
If 4 in 5 heirs intend to walk, the problem isn’t tomorrow’s inheritance, it’s today’s relationship gap. Miss the shift, and advisers risk losing both the relationship and the assets. Even the strongest client-adviser relationship offers little protection from this phenomenon.
The challenge? To preserve the family’s values, continuity and legacy across generations. Helping your clients' children succeed. The adviser who wins the next generation is the one who understands them before the relationship and the money moves.
What’s missing is a simple yet rigorous way to truly understand the next generation — their attitudes, values, motivations and priorities — until now.
Investor DNA® — Safeguard the relationship - Protect the assets.
The real threat is not market volatility - it's human behaviour...
Even disciplined high-net-worth clients with sophisticated, bespoke strategies deviate under pressure, regularly making emotional or biased decisions that erode returns — estimated at around 3% per annum, or 35% over 10 years. One-third of your client's portfolio, gone.
Traditional risk profiling and advice frameworks fail to capture or predict how clients actually think, decide, and respond under pressure. Result? Misalignments. Panic selling. Broken trust. Clients quietly walking away — no matter how sophisticated the strategy.
Investor DNA® reveals a client's susceptibility to making emotional decisions, identifying those most at risk under pressure. This, in tandem with understanding their vulnerability to behavioural bias, empowers advisers to intervene in real time to prevent clients from making poor decisions and costly mistakes.

Introducing the Risk Signature™
- Investment risk, reimagined...
Investor DNA® reinvents how investment risk is understood and applied — revealing each client’s unique Risk Signature™ across five core dimensions to deliver a true 360° view of risk behaviour.
Traditional profiling systems are overly simplistic, often collapsing risk into a single score. They ignore how Risk Appetite (thinking), Sensitivity to Loss (feeling) and Risk Tolerance (behavioural threshold) interact to drive real‑world decisions under pressure. This explains why some clients stay disciplined during downturns while others react emotionally, eroding long‑term value.
Powered by advanced analytics and past client behaviour, Investor DNA® goes far beyond portfolio construction and compliance — pinpointing which clients are most vulnerable during market volatility.
In a world‑first, Investor DNA® enables advisers to build precision portfolios and manage client emotions in real time, preventing costly mistakes that erode portfolio value, while helping advisers meet their legal and BID obligations.

Values and ESG preferences - for
purpose-inspired portfolios...
Investor DNA® uncovers your clients’ core values and life philosophy - their personal ‘truths’ that shape how they see the world, wealth, and legacy.
These principles influence both their investment decision-making and their expectations. By aligning portfolios with your clients' inner compass, you deliver purposeful investing that has greater meaning, purpose and a clear sense of direction.
Your clients’ ethical and ESG preferences operate as explicit 'red‑flags', highlighting companies that should be excluded. This strengthens portfolio construction and deepens client engagement, connection and trust by ensuring their values are visibly reflected in the advice process.
Investor DNA® — Investing that shapes the future
Preserving wealth continuity...
An estimated 90% of family wealth is lost by the third generation. Family wealth is eroded not by poor investment choices but by intergenerational divides in values, priorities, and risk; differences that fracture communication and trust.
By mapping each family member’s preferences, motivations and biases, Investor DNA® reveals areas of alignment and potential friction points to build common ground.
These insights help advisers go beneath the surface to resolve conflict, deepen trust, and honour the family legacy—while empowering the next generation to forge their own path, the critical success factor for wealth continuity.
