How Angel One’s Smart API can help take your advisory service to the next level

In the stock market, hundreds and thousands of new aspiring investors and traders make their entry, and quite a few lose their way in the process. Stock market advisors like yourself play an important role in not only helping them navigate the often complex realities of the market, but also in helping them achieve what they originally sought, as they entered the markets. However, with rising competition and increasing digital activity, finding and maintaining clients can be as challenging a task as differentiating yourself in this hyper-competitive space.

Back in the 2010s, anyone could become a stock market advisor. When SEBI introduced some degree of regulation to the advisory practice, not only were the “fake it till you make it” types filtered out, the layman’s experience of the markets also improved. In fact, customer experience is perhaps the highest-weighted variable in today’s business equation, and scaling up your practice can become a challenging task in such an environment. So what is the next stage of evolution of your advisory service?
