Background of the Study
Client advisory frameworks are critical in investment banking as they guide the provision of strategic advice and customized financial solutions to clients. Union Bank Nigeria has developed a comprehensive client advisory framework that integrates market analysis, risk assessment, and tailored communication to meet diverse client needs (Onyekachi, 2023). This framework utilizes advanced digital tools, including predictive analytics and CRM systems, to provide real-time insights and facilitate informed decision-making. The goal is to enhance client satisfaction, foster long-term relationships, and drive revenue growth through personalized advisory services. However, effective client advisory requires a delicate balance between data-driven insights and human expertise, as well as consistent communication across multiple channels. The study examines the effectiveness of Union Bank Nigeria’s client advisory framework in delivering value to clients, analyzing performance metrics, client feedback, and case studies of major advisory engagements. The research aims to identify best practices and potential areas for improvement within the advisory process.
Statement of the Problem
Union Bank Nigeria faces challenges in ensuring the consistent effectiveness of its client advisory framework. A primary issue is the integration of digital tools with traditional advisory practices, which can lead to fragmented communication and inconsistent service delivery (Ijeoma, 2023). In addition, variations in the quality of advice provided by different teams may result in unequal client experiences and lower overall satisfaction. The rapid pace of market change further complicates the ability to deliver timely and accurate advice. These challenges can undermine client trust and retention, ultimately affecting the bank’s competitive position in investment banking. This study seeks to identify the key obstacles in the current advisory framework and assess their impact on client outcomes, with the goal of proposing measures to streamline processes and improve service consistency.
