New Realities in Wealth Management: Hope Springs Eternal
As a result of 6.7% growth, U.S. client assets hit approximately US$20.4 trillion at the end of 2016.
Boston, June 14, 2017 – The U.S. wealth management industry continues to shift. Consolidation continues as firms seek to achieve greater scale amid continued cost pressures (with regulation such as the U.S. Department of Labor’s fiduciary rule top of mind), and the trend of providing digital advisory solutions continues while applications leveraging artificial intelligence are being deployed by wealth management firms to crunch big data. Despite these shifts, hope springs eternal for U.S. wealth management firms in 2017.
