Apart from that, something which differentiates Emkay from being in the advisory space is the deliverables. We have one of the finest set of advisory deliverables which also includes the investment plans that we make. We also do comprehensive multi asset class portfolio reviews which are supported by the best technology.
How does Emkay Wealth incorporate technology tools to serve its clients better?

Unlike other platforms that just show the transactions and statements, our platform aggregates underlying holdings across service providers and provides automated weight ages on a daily basis across service providers. Our applications can provide information on large cap, product allocation, underlying holdings and more in just a single click of a button.
What is the future roadmap set for Emkay?
Bhavesh: We recently sought a SEBI registered investment adviser license and we are in the process of launching full-fledged wealth management and investment advisory services for Ultra HNI clients.
Dr.Joseph: We are also in the process of developing a sentiment meter to understand the equity market’s sentiment in a better way, using sentiment proxies. That is one of the things which we are working on and it will be released soon.
