Solution introduction
Opus Una advises and executes on all aspects of product development and governance
We have supported the design, build and launch of hundreds of products and services across multiple wealth managers and wealthtechs
Successful product development requires a deep understanding of the firm’s strategy and operations, technical product expertise, excellent project management skills, a sound understanding of risk management, laser-focus on client outcomes and robust product governance to be in place.
Product governance itself extends beyond developing policy, process and frameworks. How these are embedded into the organisation and integrated with the existing risk management framework are key determinants of success. When implemented correctly, it will optimise stakeholder collaboration and the building of products and services that are profitable and within the firm’s risk appetite.
In short, done right, strong product development and governance are a huge source of commercial advantage. Opus Una will work with you to:
Validate
- Understand whether there is sufficient demand for the product and whether it is viable
- Design experiments to validate hypotheses
- Develop an approach and plan for efficient execution of validation experiments
Design
- Architect your business through best practice functional design processes
- Define the control environment to ensure the highest risk and compliance standards are met.
- Analyse and develop capabilities for new target markets
Govern
- Adapt and implement product governance to ensure new and existing products/services are:
- Market relevant
- In line with your organisation’s risk appetite and risk management capability

Features
Our experience
- We have designed, built and risk-managed products across all asset classes and for multi-jurisdictional distribution
- We are experts in developing, optimising and operating product governance for some of the largest participants in the wealth management ecosystem
- Where there has been a regulatory/audit challenge we have supported clients with response
Our difference
- While most of us have worked in big consultancies, we are not career consultants. We have all had senior roles in banking and understand the art of the possible
- Therefore, we are experienced in managing consultants and line resources alike and skilled in managing combined teams
- We don’t expect our clients to pay while our resources learn on the job. We hit the ground running, get the job done and leave
- You pay for our experience and subject matter expertise and that is what we deploy
- Where highly specific supplemental expertise is required we can supply this on a fractional basis
- In everything we do, we aim to get our clients to the point of self-sufficiency as quickly as possible
