Boston, May 28, 2020 – With the industry hardly a decade old, many digital investment management providers have never experienced an event as extraordinary as the COVID-19 crisis, which has brought the previous expected trajectory of digital investment management in 2020 into question. How has the COVID-19 pandemic and the fears surrounding it impacted the space in the early stages of the crisis?

This report takes the pulse of the marketplace in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and serves as a follow-up to the latest digital investment management market monitor report. It is based on interviews of five leading U.S.-based firms during April 2020—three digital investment management platforms that are part of large discount brokerage franchises and two startup firms—as well as secondary research from company reports. 

This 19-page Impact Report contains two figures and four tables. Clients of Aite Group’s Wealth Management service can download this report, the corresponding charts, and the Executive Impact Deck.
