In the fast-paced finance world, InvestSmart, a leading investment advisory firm, set out to better understand its 100 investors. The firm aimed to deliver tailored investment strategies but faced a significant challenge: a lack of clarity about their clients' investment behaviors, ROI performance, and risk management. Armed with an expansive dataset, InvestSmart embarked on a mission to uncover actionable insights that would elevate their services.
Despite their wide client base, InvestSmart struggled to draw meaningful conclusions from the data. Key questions remained unanswered:
