Product Videos for Financial Services

Sinematic’s product videos for financial services provide comprehensive information on returns, asset diversification, and liquidity, essential for informed decision-making by your prospective clients.

Your financial brokerage may be offering investment products such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds and ETDs, or insurance products such as variable annuities. Your clients would naturally want to know about the level of risk and the reasonable anticipated rate of return.

Whilst prospectuses are a traditional way of sharing fine details, engaging, brand-appropriate product videos that have been produced by a professional financial services video production company would help educate the clients much faster about your financial products, and help your prospective clients  make better decisions on the right brokerage for them.

 

To start with, we always advise clients to create videos that tackle the four basic concerns of clients buying new financial products :

Returns:

Our financial services video production will highlight the potential returns and performance of your financial products, providing clear, concise information to prospective clients, and doing so in a manner fully compliant with the FTC financial marketing guidelines. Using innovative and engaging visuals coupled with informative narration, we will help your viewers understand the expected returns and benefits of the products, and why they are the best choice in the marketplace.

Diversification of Asset Classes

Your brokerage would also be able to educate clients about how the different classes you offer would help in diversification and appropriate asset allocation according to their risk appetite.

Liquidity
Prospective clients would benefit immensely from videos that share how fast and easy it is to buy and sell your investment products, the number of days it takes for withdrawal to settle etc. Whilst these may sound like miscellaneous items, they are crucial items for a prospective investor, and interesting copy, motion graphics and professional imagery from a professional financial services production company would be able to get these and other items across in an engaging, assuring way, helping your prospects open new investment accounts with your firm.
