Make the most of Interactive Charts

Effectively conveying complex financial information to clients is crucial for their understanding and engagement. Snap's interactive charts provide an innovative solution to communicate financial journeys in a simple and engaging manner visually.

In this article, we will explore how you can use Snap's interactive charts in your client conversations.

You can access the charts from both the Planning Pages as well the Reports. To access the Charts from the Planning Pages, click the Charts button beside the Recommendations button.

To access the Charts from the Reports, go to Client Reports -> Report Editor.

Snap has 4 interactive charts available in these areas : Cash Outflows, Cash Inflows, Net Worth, and Asset Allocation.

Charts used for Historical Scenarios and Randomized Scenarios are also interactive.

In Part 1 of the Charts video series, we explore the practical application of interactive charts in a simple client's plan. We demonstrate the useful features offered by the charts, followed by an analysis of the results before and after running a Sustainable Scenario.

In Part 2 of the video series, we see how the charts display information for scenarios including a spouse and with additional modeling of insurance and corporations.

• Presenting a Financial Story: Snap's visually appealing charts help advisors deliver a compelling narrative that allows clients to grasp important information quickly. For instance, the Cash Inflows chart can showcase the origin of income during retirement, facilitating a clear understanding of the financial journey ahead.
• Mouse-over Pop-up Windows: Hovering the mouse over chart content triggers pop-up summaries, providing a convenient way to highlight specific milestones or changes in a client's financial situation over time. This feature is particularly beneficial when using the Net Worth chart, as it allows advisors to emphasize significant events or fluctuations to enhance client comprehension.
• Customizable Display: Snap's interactive charts offer the flexibility to choose what to display. By clicking on an item's name in the chart's legend, advisors can remove or add it back to the chart. Alternatively, hovering over an item's name highlights it within the chart. This functionality empowers advisors to focus on specific incomes or assets, facilitating more in-depth conversations tailored to clients' individual needs.
• Full-Screen View and Print Options: Snap's interactive charts can be viewed in full screen, enabling advisors to present information in a visually impactful manner. Additionally, the ability to print charts individually provides the flexibility to tailor physical materials for clients. By adapting the presentation format, financial advisors can ensure optimal communication based on their client's preferences and requirements.
