Individuals greatly underserved by financial advisors are Internet marketers. The primary reason has to do with cultural differences. Financial advisors and Internet marketers typically don’t relate to each other very well. For one thing, Internet marketers spend most of their time online. Financial advisors are trained to spend most of their time out in their local community. Internet marketers like to discuss their latest tweet and SEO strategy, while financial advisors get excited about the direction of the financial markets. It is interesting to observe how these two groups typically are not following each other on Twitter, or grouped together on LinkedIn. There interests can overlap, but it is not a common scenario. There tends to be nonprofessionals tweeting about the financial markets. In many cases, they are self-investors or novices who have a passion for financial related issues. It is rare to see financial professionals using the latest Internet technology to serve their community.
Allgen Financial Services is purposeful seeking to build relationships with Internet marketers and other Internet power users. We are focused on spending significant time, energy, and resources on serving the Internet community. Unlike most financial institutions, Allgen embraces online methods for building relationships and a community. Allgen wants to make investment advisory services just as personal and interesting to hardcore Internet users.
