Full biography here.
The expansion of the high-net-worth (HNW) demographic has sparked a robust and continuous surge of competition among wirehouses, private banks, broker/dealers, registered investment advisors, and other providers. Wealth managers vying to cater to this demographic have grown their service offerings to meet enhanced expectations and needs from this clientele.
According to our research, every single investment management service has become commonly offered by HNW practices in the past six years, with alternative manager search and selection (78%) and internally managed hedge funds or funds of funds (32%) among those growing the quickest. Planning services are also on the rise, with estate planning (70%) and tax planning (45%) cited as the fastest-growing service areas.
Cerulli expects that HNW and UHNW client demand for more complex levels of service from their intermediary partners will continue for years to come as HNW investors transfer and transition assets. From increasingly nuanced investment management services to more comprehensive and specialized family office and planning services, every arena of high-end private wealth services will see heightened competition.
