In brief

  • The Survey comes at a time of great industry turmoil as seismic shifts already apparent in 2019 are being accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Wealth managers need to rethink their businesses as they adapt to survive and thrive. Many report they face challenges from intergenerational outflows and significantly increased volatility. The industry is facing disruption however, it is surprising that our Survey shows 78 per cent of wealth managers in Europe and Asia believe their current business models will survive through 2025.
  • While change is always hard, guarding against complacency will be important. The Survey shows there are concrete steps that wealth managers can take to help better prepare themselves to offer value to their current and future clients.
  • The emergence of non-bankable and private assets has unlocked a potential holistic personal wealth opportunity of $260tn. Not only can wealth managers deliver greater value to clients in the short term, but they can also play a pivotal role in moderating the economic and social challenges that have come to the fore due to recent events.
  • There is still room for bold leadership through innovation, technology and fostering a culture of change.  Key growth areas identified by wealth managers include providing more ESG options for investable and non-investable assets including life insurance, pensions. In addition, they identified exploring new opportunities for advice and services for non-bankable assets.
