The problem

Broker-dealers and investment advisory firms operate under strict communication regulations, making it challenging to send timely and relevant client updates without robust event triggers. Manually identifying significant market events that warrant client outreach for specific holdings is inefficient and often too slow for fast-moving markets. Missing opportunities to inform clients about unusual activity in their portfolio assets can lead to dissatisfaction and a perception of being out of touch. Proactive, personalized communication is a key differentiator in a competitive financial landscape.

Compliance teams often struggle with ensuring that all client communications are not only timely but also accurate and consistent with regulatory guidelines. Automating communication triggers based on objective market signals, like volume spikes, reduces manual error and ensures a consistent approach. Existing email platforms lack direct integration with real-time market anomaly detection, forcing a reactive approach. Implementing a system that can reliably trigger client-segment specific emails based on market events significantly improves client engagement and regulatory adherence.

How Surge solves it

Automate client email triggers based on unusual volume spikes in their specific portfolio holdings.
