Wealth Management Industry in U.S. – Changing Trends, Opportunities and Strategies
This indicates a loss of client trust in large wealth management firms, necessitating a shift toward more personalised and customer-oriented services. As clients sustained heavy losses on investments during the crisis, they now demand safe products like fixed-income securities and cash-related products.
The U.S. mass affluent offer the wealth management industry high growth opportunities. This segment constitutes around 33 million households with around $13 trillion wealth, representing around 43% of the country’s total investable assets. However, only 18% of the mass affluent are estimated to have yet availed financial planning services.
Over half of the baby boomer population (those born between 1945-1965) is included in the mass affluent segment. Having accumulated significant wealth, this population is expected to require financial advice for retirement planning in the coming decade, presenting further growth opportunities for wealth management firms. Baby boomers are expected to constitute 22% of the U.S. population, holding 60% of investable assets in 2030.
The recent economic crisis significantly decreased client trust in wealth management firms, resulting in a shift toward personalized services and safer products such as fixed income securities. Firms are opting for new operational models in order to recover losses and compete effectively in the changing scenario. They are increasingly forming consolidations and focusing on client relationship management to retain clients and attract new assets. The retainer fee pricing strategy has also caught up, replacing the traditional transaction fee based model.
