The Advice Workflow

From questionnaire
to signed SOA.

Six steps. One platform. Your client fills in a questionnaire, Nuvano matches funds, generates the SOA, and collects a digital signature. The entire process runs in under 20 minutes.

How the process works

Six steps, fully connected

Most advice platforms handle one or two parts of the KiwiSaver workflow. Nuvano handles all six: client intake, risk profiling, fund matching, SOA generation, client review, and digital signing.

Each step feeds the next automatically. Client answers flow into the risk profile. The risk profile drives fund matching. Fund data populates the SOA. The SOA is delivered to your client for review and signature. No re-keying, no copy-paste, no switching between systems.

01

Client completes questionnaire

Adaptive questions adjust to age, situation, and investment purpose.

02

Risk profile calculated

Responses are scored to determine the appropriate risk level.

03

Fund matching runs automatically

The algorithm analyses the client profile against every eligible fund.

04

Adviser reviews recommendation

You review, adjust if needed, and approve. Your judgement stays central.

05

SOA generated

A complete Statement of Advice is produced using the approved recommendation and live fund data.

06

Client reviews and signs

Digital signature with IP and timestamp logging for your compliance records.

What the algorithm considers

  • Client risk profile from questionnaire responses
  • Investment purpose and time horizon
  • Fund risk category and fee structure
  • Your selected providers
  • Verified fund data from official sources

Fund matching

Automated, not manual

Most KiwiSaver advice tools require the adviser to choose funds manually and write the justification from scratch. Nuvano's fund matching engine does the heavy lifting.

The algorithm analyses each client's risk profile, investment purpose, and time horizon against verified fund data. It produces a ranked recommendation that you review and approve. You retain full control: override the recommendation, select a different fund, and document your reasoning.

The result is consistent, defensible advice backed by data. Every recommendation carries a full audit trail showing the inputs, the algorithm output, and any adviser adjustments.

Your judgement, amplified

The adviser stays central

Automation handles the repetitive work. You handle the advice. Nuvano generates the recommendation, but you decide whether to accept it, adjust it, or override it entirely. Every decision is documented with your reasoning for a complete compliance record.

Review and approve

Every recommendation requires adviser sign-off before it reaches the client.

Override with reasoning

Select a different fund and document why. The override is part of the audit trail.

Full audit trail

Inputs, outputs, and adviser decisions are logged with timestamps for compliance.
