The Four Unstoppable Trends Shaping Asset and Wealth Management
Organic growth has stalled in both asset and wealth management. The underlying trends include the impact of increased consumer expectations, new service preferences, provider capacity and the looming demographic challenge of longevity.
What are the four key trends – and what are the leaders doing to win?

Innovation Leadership Session
Follow the Consumer: The importance of client focus
The consumer wants more from the financial advice industry. 70 million baby boomers still control most of the industry’s assets and profitability and their needs have shifted to retirement and surviving their longevity. More “protection”, better certainty of outcomes and simple listening are needed. Hear how the leaders of two big competitors – Fidelity and Merrill Lynch – view the marketplace and learn what they have in common.
Kathleen Murphy, Board Director at Prudential Financial and former President, Personal Investing, Fidelity Investments
John Thiel, Board Director and former Head of Wealth Management, Merrill Lynch
