Wealth Management Business Capabilities Model
A structured 3-level capability model with ~630 capabilities covering the wealth management and advisory value chain. Includes editable PPT, Excel, and Word files.
About This Capability Model
Wealth management is being squeezed from two directions — robo-advice and low-cost competitors compressing fees, and clients expecting holistic, tax- and estate-integrated planning that used to require separate specialists — while a wave of RIA consolidation means the operating model itself keeps changing hands.
Every one of those pressures eventually lands on the same underlying business, which is exactly where a shared vocabulary earns its keep. The Wealth Management Business Capabilities Model is a structured, three-level decomposition of 630 capabilities that survives reorganizations, vendor changes, and years of incremental modernization work.
Delivered as editable PowerPoint, Excel, and Word files — ready to customize for your organization.
What's Inside
- Capabilities matrix (Excel) — structured grouping of all capabilities
- Capabilities map (PowerPoint) — nested visualization of the top three levels
- Capabilities list (Word) — multilevel list format for easy editing
- Capability definitions — detailed descriptions at Level 3
- Capability KPIs — key performance indicators at Level 2
Coverage Areas
The model spans the full wealth management and advisory value chain — from client acquisition, financial planning, and portfolio management to horizontal shared services — decomposed into granular, MECE (mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive) capabilities. Note: Digital, Insurance, Retail Banking, Asset Management, and Alternative Investments are standalone, separate capability models.
How Teams Use It
- Benchmark & gap analysis — assess current-state maturity and identify capability gaps
- Capability-based roadmapping — plan investments around capability evolution, not siloed projects
- Application portfolio rationalization — map capabilities to systems for footprint analysis and consolidation decisions
- Business-IT alignment — use capabilities as a shared language between business and technology teams
Who It's For
Business architects, enterprise architects, wealth management executives, technology leaders, and program managers driving advisory transformation.
Why Buy vs. Build
Building a capability model from scratch takes hundreds of hours of brainstorming across architects, domain experts, and leadership. This model provides 60–80% of the work done at a fraction of the cost. Use it to jump-start your effort — or to cross-reference and fill gaps in an existing map.
This is a generic model designed as a starting point — customization to your organization's specific context is expected and encouraged.
