Success with a new strategy for wealth management will require a segmented approach and will depend on the customer focus for a particular bank or wealth management firmBased on our survey we have found four segments of the wealthy under 50 market that have different needs:The Ultra-High-Net-Worth investors are typically well served today. Banks can afford to have a high touch face-to-face approach to these investors. Based on the input from these investors in the survey the most important addition that banks can make is to broaden the exposure to not only the main wealthy person but also to that individual’s family members. Currently most interactions happen between the financial advisor and the ultra-high net worth individual. These investors would however like to involve additional family members for discussion having significant financial implications for the family wealth. These famlies are typically spread across a large geographical area. Using high definition video solutions to connect multiple family members in the same meeting with the financial adviser would be highly valued by investors. This would in addition limit the risk for a bank of only being linked to one wealthy individual per familyThe main battle for the wealthy will be for the next two segments in the pyramid: the High- Net-Worth investors and the Mass-Affluent investors. These are the investor categories where banks cannot afford the same level of high touch face-to-face interactions as with the Ultra High-Net Worth segment. These are the segments that primarily ask for a new approach to interactions with their Financial Adviser. Using technology as an enabler banks can provide both the frequency, the quality and the personalization of advice that will be important differentiators to win this segment. In the adviser-less segment the bank cannot afford a model with frequent personalized interactions. In this segment the key approach will be to find a way provide value and differentiaton as the orchestrator of self-service. A bank would benefit from being branded as a value-added contributor to interactions between investors who come together in investor communities enabled by social media
