Realigning wealth management around the end investor

The economics of the wealth industry are undergoing a major step-change. Asset managers are going direct-to-client (D2C), digital is becoming hybrid, intermediaries are amalgamating, life and pensions providers are undergoing transformation. Why is this happening?

It is time to reassess how you will serve tomorrow’s investors and grasp wealth’s growth opportunities. Find out more about improving investor economics in our databook.

Opening up investor economics (databook)

This brief databook combines industry-wide data with FNZ’s own data to consider how better access can be provided to investment opportunities for investors across the whole wealth continuum. In doing so it explores:

• The investment opportunity disparity between retail, mass affluent and High-Net-Worth (HNW)

• How cost-to-serve has changed over the last decade

• The scale-effect of digital wealth platforms on asset servicing

Can wealth managers be all things to all people?
