The Oasis Group Launches Research Series Analyzing Custodian Platforms and Other Wealth Management Service Providers
Vantage Point Peaks provides in-depth reports and competitive analysis on a range of wealthtech service providers
MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AI—The Oasis Group, a leading consultancy for the wealth management industry, recently launched a new research series called Vantage Point Peaks, which provides in-depth reports and competitive analysis on a range of service providers in the wealth management industry. The reports are designed to help wealth management firms become more informed buyers when breaking away or looking for new wealthtech solutions.
“We’re so excited to bring our new research series to the marketplace,” said John O’Connell, founder and CEO of The Oasis Group. “Vantage Point Peaks will give wealth management firms a leg up when determining which service providers are the right fit for their firm. This research will save firms significant time when generating their short list of custodian providers.”
The first study of the research series, available now, is the Vantage Point Peaks for Custodian Platforms, which focuses on the registered investment adviser and broker-dealer custodian market and is available to RIA and BD executives, as well as family offices and private wealth firms, interested in new custodian relationships.
“Much of the existing research in the wealth management space is survey based. We are changing that with our Vantage Point Peaks research, which provides wealth management executives with an empirical analysis of the leading custodians, as well as an unbiased comparison of each custodian’s capabilities relative to others in the marketplace,” O’Connell added.
While the wealth management marketplace has several opinion-based research studies, The Oasis Group’s research is based on a comparison of the capabilities of each service provider as reported by the provider and their customers. O’Connell and his team worked directly with each custodian to determine features, capabilities, strengths, weaknesses, and areas of improvement for each of the ten custodians featured in the study, analyzing their current product offering as well as their ability to execute.
The ten custodian platforms featured in the study include Schwab, Pershing, Fidelity, Altruist, Apex Fintech Solutions, Goldman Sachs, TradePMR, Hilltop Securities, Innovayte, and RBC Clearing & Custody.
Wealth management firms can purchase the comprehensive Peaks Report, which contains over 30 pages of thoughtful research and includes the full custodian market definition and description, a chart positioning each custodian in terms of ‘Current Product Offering’ and ‘Ability to Execute’, and for each individual custodian, an executive summary and details on the firm’s background, market position, strengths, and improvement opportunities.
Also available for purchase are in-depth Peaks Individual Reports for each of the custodian platforms, ranging from 12 to 18 pages and featuring an executive summary, a company overview, product observations, strengths, and improvement opportunities. A free Peaks Summary report is also available for download, featuring the Peaks Executive Summary and Research Process Summary, a market definition, the Vantage Point Peaks chart, and additional details on what’s included in the full report.
Future Vantage Point Peaks studies will focus on other wealthtech solutions and service providers available to wealth management firms, including portfolio management solutions, financial planning software, CRM solutions, and more.
