TOKYO, Japan -- Written by: Katsuzou Morimoto, CEO

In a major re-branding exercise, Imperial Capital Management., a niche market advisory business operating out of Japan, has re-launched itself as a provider of comprehensive wealth management solutions. While the company earlier catered to private clients, its current expansion allows it to reach out to a broader population of accredited investors.

The company’s change in business strategy is based on extensive research that it carried out when looking at the expected impact that Financial Advisor Industry Review (FAIR) in Southeast Asia will have on wealth management space. With greatly tightened regulations playing more of a role in the profession, expat-based wealth management consultancies are expected to face financial strain with stricter controls and compliance potentially squeezing their revenue streams. The quality of advisory services delivered by private banks has deteriorated amid lower rates of return and staff shortages.

In light of more stringent regulations and growing dissatisfaction among the people with private banks delivering wealth management services, Imperial Capital Management foresees an opportunity for itself in providing investors from Japan and Southeast Asia with high-quality total wealth management solutions.

The exemptions granted to the company as part of its license, coupled with its vast experience and expertise in the wealth management profession, make it better placed than retail businesses that venture into consulting clients in the AI space without the requisite know-how. Not aiming exclusively at the higher-end of High-Net-Worth segment, it’s also a better option than private banks for the lower-end High-Net-Worth investors, who are often neglected by these banks and offered sub-standard products and services.

The company’s re-branding has been followed up with significant alterations on its website. It has been made leaner and more user-friendly. The company has made investments in IT solutions to support client relationships, investment reporting, and accounting.

A spokesperson for Imperial Capital Management had this to say about the re-branding of the company, “Our research has indicated that competition in the AI space is likely to disappear in the future. We have re-invented our business strategy in line with this finding and now offer a complete range of wealth management services to accredited investors. We have strengthened our resourcing to manage compliance, administration, marketing, support services, and wealth management advisory. There’s been hiring of client partners with accounting and legal qualifications as well as experienced wealth management personnel directly from the intensely regulated UK and Australian markets.”
