  6. Pie chart please. Of 903 total respondents 35% were based in the US and 65% in Canada Asked respondents to categorize their practices so we could get a sense of what types of advisors were represented
  7. The regulatory and licensing requirements for advisors are different in the US and Canada, that is reflected in the different tables shown Majority of respondents in the US are either independent (23%) or are affiliated with an independent broker/dealer (43%) Majority of Canadian respondents (80%) are affiliated with independent dealers, while 20% are affiliated with a bank
  8. Observed a dramatic difference between US and Canada In US, 46% manage between $100M - $500M Assets Under Management; but only 19% in Canada
  9. The study shows that 50% of advisors range between the age of 51-60, and 30% range between 41-50 A total of 80% range between 41-60 Discussion: Issues of an aging industry
  10. Respondents were asked if they have access to client information on mobile devices A significant difference between Canadian and US advisors appeared, with 60% of US advisors saying yes, compared to only 30% of Canadian advisors Discussion: Importance of fully leveraging CRM to attract and retain clients How mobile access can dramatically improve efficiency
  11. The survey asked respondents to rank the obstacles they thought would hinder their growth in the coming year Regulatory changes and operational complexities topped the list for Canada 31% of US advisors and 26% of Canadian advisors surveyed rated “keeping up with regulatory change” as a strong obstacle for 2014 Exceptional approaches to regulatory compliance can become a source of competitive advantage, especially when technology systems such as CRM software are customized in a manner that eases the burden of complying with new laws and regulations Discussion: Challenges advisors face in this issue Time it takes them to comply How CRM specifically designed to manage compliant workflows can make this difficult process easier and less time consuming
