As client expectations evolve, more wholesale advisers are seeking the institutional capabilities once reserved for private banks and large asset managers.
Through conversations with advisers on the Stropro platform, we’ve identified the top five reasons why institutional-grade access is now a core part of modern advice.
1. Unlocking Access to Global Markets & Emerging Macro Trends
Many Australian portfolios remain concentrated — dominated by four major banks, two mining giants, and residential property.
Advisers working with wholesale clients are looking to broaden the opportunity set by:
- Tapping global markets
- Capturing emerging macro trends
- Providing truly outcome-focused solutions
2. Leveraging Institutional Pricing Power for Clients
Institutional investment capabilities offer pricing advantages that retail channels simply can’t match.
By aggregating multiple issuers on one platform, advisers can:
- Access better pricing
- Pass savings on to clients
- Expand product choice without increasing cost
3. Bringing Institutional Research Into the Advice Process
Top-tier investment banks have research teams that set the benchmark for asset, sector, and macro analysis.
Stropro gives advisers a direct line to this intelligence, enabling them to:
- Strengthen their advice with evidence-based insights
- Support client decisions with global data
- Stay ahead of market shifts
4. Offering Greater Clarity & Control Over Risk & Return
Advisers know that wholesale clients value predictable, risk-managed outcomes over speculation.
Structured products allow advisers to:
- Set client-specific timeframes
- Define exposure and return targets
- Build in capital protection features for volatile markets
5. Executing Client Strategies Efficiently
Wholesale clients expect speed and precision.
Stropro’s platform enables advisers to:
- Implement tactical views quickly
- Capture time-sensitive opportunities
- Streamline execution with institutional-grade infrastructure
Adviser Takeaway
Institutional access is no longer a “nice-to-have” — it’s becoming a competitive advantage for wholesale advisers.
By partnering with Stropro, advisers can deliver diverse opportunities, market-leading pricing, and robust risk control — positioning themselves as trusted strategists in an increasingly complex investment landscape.
